+## Docker Build Issue Resolution
+
+**Problem**: The original Docker build was failing with the error:
+```
+npm error The `npm ci` command can only install with an existing package-lock.json or
+npm error npm-shrinkwrap.json with lockfileVersion >= 1. Run an install with npm@5 or
+npm error later to generate a package-lock.json file, then try again.
+```
+
+**Solution**: Updated the frontend Dockerfile to use `npm install` instead of `npm ci` since no package-lock.json file exists yet. The updated Dockerfile now works correctly:
+
+```dockerfile
+# Install dependencies
+# Use npm install for development (npm ci requires package-lock.json)
+RUN npm install
+```
+
+**Verification**: Docker build now completes successfully and the frontend container can be built and run without errors.
+
+## Docker Permission Error Resolution
+
+**Problem**: The backend container was failing with the error:
+```
+PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/data'
+```
+
+**Root Cause**: The issue was in `backend/main.py` where the data directory path was incorrectly calculated:
+```python
+# Incorrect calculation
+data_dir = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__)), "data")
+# This resulted in '/data' instead of '/app/data'
+```
+
+**Solution**: Fixed the path calculation to use the configuration-based approach:
+```python
+# Correct calculation using settings
+from pathlib import Path
+from app.core.config import settings
+data_dir = Path(settings.DATA_DIR)  # 'data' -> resolves to '/app/data' in container
+data_dir.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
+```
+
+**Additional Considerations**:
+1. **User Permissions**: The Dockerfile creates a non-root user `appuser` with UID 1000, which matches the typical host user UID for better volume permission compatibility.
+2. **Volume Mount**: The docker-compose.yml mounts `./data:/app/data` ensuring data persistence.
+3. **Directory Permissions**: The host `data/` directory has permissions `700` (owner only), but since the container user has the same UID (1000), it can access the directory.
+
+**Verification**:
+- Docker builds complete successfully for both backend and frontend
+- Backend container starts without permission errors
+- API endpoints respond correctly
+- Health check endpoint returns `{"status": "healthy"}`
+- FastAPI documentation endpoints (`/docs` and `/redoc`) are now always enabled
+
+## FastAPI Documentation Endpoints Fix
+
+**Problem**: FastAPI's built-in documentation endpoints (`/docs` and `/redoc`) were not working because they were only enabled when `DEBUG=true`.
+
+**Root Cause**: In `backend/main.py`, the documentation endpoints were conditionally enabled:
+```python
+docs_url="/docs" if settings.DEBUG else None,
+redoc_url="/redoc" if settings.DEBUG else None,
+```
+
+**Solution**: Removed the conditional logic to always enable documentation endpoints:
+```python
+docs_url="/docs",
+redoc_url="/redoc",
+```
+
+**Verification**:
+- `/docs` endpoint returns HTTP 200 with Swagger UI
+- `/redoc` endpoint returns HTTP 200 with ReDoc documentation
+- `/openapi.json` provides the OpenAPI schema
+- Root endpoint correctly lists documentation URLs
+
+User notes:
+Backend and backend docs seem to be in a good state.
+Let us focus on frontend for a bit.
+Task 1:
+There are UI elements which shift on mouseover. This is bad design.
+Task 2:
+The default page should show just the prompt in the most recent position in history. It currently does a draw from the pool, or possibly displays the most recent draw action. Drawing from the pool should only happen when requested by the user.
+On the default page there should be some sort of indication of how full the pool is. A simple graphical element would be nice. It should only show one writing prompt.
+Task 3:
+Check whether the UI buttons to refill the pool and to draw from the pool have working functionality.
+Task 4:
+Change the default number drawn from the pool to 3.

+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+### Docker Permission Issues
+If you encounter permission errors when running Docker containers:
+
+1. **Check directory permissions**:
+   ```bash
+   ls -la data/
+   ```
+   The `data/` directory should be readable/writable by your user (UID 1000 typically).
+
+2. **Fix permissions** (if needed):
+   ```bash
+   chmod 700 data/
+   chown -R $(id -u):$(id -g) data/
+   ```
+
+3. **Verify Docker user matches host user**:
+   The Dockerfile creates a user with UID 1000. If your host user has a different UID:
+   ```bash
+   # Check your UID
+   id -u
+
+   # Update Dockerfile to match your UID
+   # Change: RUN useradd -m -u 1000 appuser
+   # To: RUN useradd -m -u YOUR_UID appuser
+   ```
+
+### npm Build Errors
+If you see `npm ci` errors:
+- The Dockerfile uses `npm install` instead of `npm ci` for development
+- For production, generate a `package-lock.json` file first:
+  ```bash
+  cd frontend
+  npm install
+  ```
+
+### API Connection Issues
+If the backend can't connect to AI APIs:
+1. Verify your API key is set in `.env`
+2. Check network connectivity
+3. Ensure the API service is available
