 ```
 
-### Interactive Mode Options
+### Interactive Documentation
+Access the automatic API documentation at:
+- Swagger UI: http://localhost:8000/docs
+- ReDoc: http://localhost:8000/redoc
 
-1. **Draw prompts from pool (no API call)**: Displays and consumes prompts from the pool file
-2. **Fill prompt pool using API**: Generates new prompts using AI and adds them to pool
-3. **View pool statistics**: Shows pool size, target size, and available sessions
-4. **View history statistics**: Shows historic prompt count and capacity
-5. **Exit**: Quit the program
-
-### Prompt Generation Process
-
-1. User chooses to fill the prompt pool.
-2. The system reads the template from `ds_prompt.txt`
-3. It loads the previous 60 prompts from the fixed length cyclic buffer `historic_prompts.json`
-4. The AI generates some number of new prompts, attempting to minimize repetition
-5. The new prompts are used to fill the prompt pool to the `settings.cfg` configured value.
-
-### Prompt Selection Process
-
-1. A `settings.cfg` configurable number of prompts are drawn from the prompt pool and displayed to the user.
-2. User selects one prompt for his/her journal writing session, which is added to the `historic_prompts.json` cyclic buffer.
-3. All prompts which were displayed are removed from the prompt pool permanently.
-
-## 📝 Prompt Examples
-
-The tool generates prompts like these (from `historic_prompts.json`):
-
-- **Memory-based**: "Describe a memory you have that is tied to a specific smell..."
-- **Creative Writing**: "Invent a mythological creature for a modern urban setting..."
-- **Self-Reflection**: "Write a dialogue between two aspects of yourself..."
-- **Observational**: "Describe your current emotional state as a weather system..."
-
-Each prompt is designed to inspire 1-2 pages of journal writing and ranges from 500-1000 characters.
-
-## ⚙️ Configuration
+## 🔧 Configuration
 
 ### Environment Variables

+- Prompt length constraints
+- Number of prompts per session
+- Pool volume targets
 
-You can modify `ds_prompt.txt` to change the prompt generation parameters:
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
 
-- Number of prompts generated (default: 6)
-- Prompt length requirements (default: 500-1000 characters)
-- Specific themes or constraints
-- Output format specifications
+### Docker Permission Issues
+If you encounter permission errors when running Docker containers:
 
-## 🔄 Maintaining Prompt History
+1. **Check directory permissions**:
+   ```bash
+   ls -la data/
+   ```
+   The `data/` directory should be readable/writable by your user (UID 1000 typically).
 
-The `historic_prompts.json` file maintains a rolling history of the last 60 prompts. This helps:
+2. **Fix permissions** (if needed):
+   ```bash
+   chmod 700 data/
+   chown -R $(id -u):$(id -g) data/
+   ```
 
-1. **Avoid repetition**: The AI references previous prompts to generate new, diverse topics
-2. **Track usage**: See what types of prompts have been generated
-3. **Quality control**: Monitor the variety and quality of generated prompts
+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
+
+## 🧪 Testing
+
+Run the backend tests:
+```bash
+python test_backend.py
+```
+
+## 🐳 Docker Development
+
+### Development Mode
+```bash
+# Hot reload for both backend and frontend
+docker-compose up --build
+
+# View logs
+docker-compose logs -f
+
+# Stop services
+docker-compose down
+```
+
+### Useful Commands
+```bash
+# Rebuild specific service
+docker-compose build backend
+
+# Run single service
+docker-compose up backend
+
+# Execute commands in container
+docker-compose exec backend python -m pytest
+```
+
+## 🔄 Migration from CLI
+
+The web application maintains full compatibility with the original CLI data format:
+
+1. **Data Files**: Existing JSON files are automatically used
+2. **Templates**: Same prompt and feedback templates
+3. **Settings**: Compatible settings.cfg format
+4. **Functionality**: All CLI features available via API

+Request for generation of writing prompts for journaling
+
+Payload:
+The previous 60 prompts have been provided as a JSON array for reference.
+The current 6 feedback themes have been provided. You will not re-use any of these most-recently used words here.
+The previous 30 feedback themes are also provided. You should try to avoid re-using these unless it really makes sense to.
+
+Guidelines:
+Using the attached JSON of writing prompts, you should try to pick out 4 unique and intentionally vague single-word themes that apply to some portion of the list. They can range from common to uncommon words.
+Then add 2 more single word divergent themes that are less related to the historic prompts and are somewhat different from the other 4 for a total of 6 words.
+These 2 divergent themes give the user the option to steer away from existing themes.
+Examples for the divergent themes could be the option to add a theme like technology when the other themes are related to beauty, or mortality when the other themes are very positive.
+Be creative, don't just use my example.
+A very high temperature AI response is warranted here to generate a large vocabulary.
+
+Expected Output:
+Output as a JSON list with just the six words, in lowercase.
+Despite the provided history being a keyed list or dictionary, the expected return JSON will be a simple list with no keys.
+Respond ONLY with valid JSON. No explanations, no markdown, no backticks.

 The history will allow for reducing repetition, however some thematic overlap is acceptable. Try harder to avoid overlap with lower indices in the array.
 As the user discards prompts, the themes will be very slowly steered, so it's okay to take some inspiration from the history.

+A JSON of single-word feedback themes is provided with each having a weight value from 0 to 6.

+  },
+  {
+    "prompt33": "Describe a piece of music that left a 'residue' in your mind—a melody that loops unbidden, a lyric that sticks, a rhythm that syncs with your heartbeat.

Write about the process of this mental replay, and whether you seek to amplify it or gently brush it away."
+  },
+  {
+    "prompt34": "Recall a 'failed' experiment from your past—a recipe that flopped, a project abandoned, a relationship that didn't work. Instead of framing it as a mistake, analyze it as a valuable trial that produced data. What did you learn about the materials, the process, or yourself? How did the outcome diverge from your hypothesis? Write a lab report for this experiment, focusing on the insights gained rather than the desired product. How does this reframe 'failure'?"

Write about the velocity and distortion of unverified stories through a community."
+  },
+  {
+    "prompt36": "Recall a time you had to translate—not between languages, but between contexts: explaining a job to family, describing an emotion to someone who doesn't share it, making a technical concept accessible.

Explore the act of building temporary, fragile bridges of understanding between internal and external worlds."
+  },

+    "prompt37": "You discover a forgotten corner of a digital space you own—an old blog draft, a buried folder of photos, an abandoned social media profile. Explore this digital artifact as an archaeologist would a physical site. What does the layout, the language, the imagery tell you about a past self? Reconstruct the mindset of the person who created it. How does this digital echo compare to your current identity? Is it a charming relic or an unsettling ghost?"
+  },
+  {
+    "prompt38": "You are tasked with archiving a sound that is becoming obsolete—the click of a rotary phone, the chirp of a specific bird whose habitat is shrinking, the particular hum of an old appliance. Record a detailed description of this sound as if for a future museum. What are its frequencies, its rhythms, its emotional connotations? Now, imagine the silence that will exist in its place. What other, newer sounds will fill that auditory niche? Write an elegy for a vanishing sonic fingerprint."
+  },
+  {
+    "prompt39": "Craft a mental effigy of a habit, fear, or desire you wish to understand better. Describe this symbolic representation in detail—its materials, its posture, its expression. Now, perform a symbolic action upon it: you might place it in a drawer, bury it in the garden of your mind, or set it adrift on an imaginary river. Chronicle this ritual. Does the act of creating and addressing the effigy change your relationship to the thing it represents, or does it merely make its presence more tangible?"
+  },
+  {
+    "prompt40": "Describe a labyrinth you have constructed in your own mind—not a physical maze, but a complex, recurring thought pattern or emotional state you find yourself navigating. What are its winding corridors (rationalizations), its dead ends (frustrations), and its potential center (understanding or acceptance)? Map one recent journey through this internal labyrinth. What subtle tremor of insight or fear guided your turns? How do you find your way out, or do you choose to remain within, exploring its familiar, intricate paths?"
+  },
+  {
+    "prompt41": "Examine a family tradition or ritual as if it were an ancient artifact. Break down its syntax: the required steps, the symbolic objects, the spoken phrases. Who are the keepers of this tradition? How has it mutated or diverged over generations? Participate in or recall this ritual with fresh eyes. What unspoken values and histories are encoded within its performance? What would be lost if it faded into oblivion?"
+  },
+  {
+    "prompt42": "Observe a plant growing in an unexpected place—a crack in the sidewalk, a gutter, a wall. Chronicle its struggle and persistence. Imagine the velocity of its growth against all odds. Write from the plant's perspective about its daily existence: the foot traffic, the weather, the search for sustenance. What can this resilient life form teach you about finding footholds and thriving in inhospitable environments?"
+  },
+  {
+    "prompt43": "Imagine your creative process as a room with many thresholds. Describe the room where you generate raw ideas—its mess, its energy. Then, describe the act of crossing the threshold into the room where you refine and edit. What changes in the atmosphere? What do you leave behind at the door, and what must you carry with you? Write about the architecture of your own creativity."
+  },
+  {
+    "prompt44": "You are given a seed. It is not a magical seed, but an ordinary one from a fruit you ate. Instead of planting it, you decide to carry it with you for a week as a silent companion. Describe its presence in your pocket or bag. How does knowing it is there, a compact potential for an entire mycelial network of roots and a tree, subtly influence your days? Write about the weight of unactivated futures."
+  },
+  {
+    "prompt45": "Recall a time you had to learn a new system or language quickly—a job, a software, a social circle. Describe the initial phase of feeling like an outsider, decoding the basic algorithms of behavior. Then, focus on the precise moment you felt you crossed the threshold from outsider to competent insider. What was the catalyst? A piece of understood jargon? A successfully completed task? Explore the subtle architecture of belonging."
+  },
+  {
+    "prompt46": "You find an old, annotated map—perhaps in a book, or a tourist pamphlet from a trip long ago. Study the marks: circled sites, crossed-out routes, notes in the margin. Reconstruct the journey of the person who held this map. Where did they plan to go? Where did they actually go, based on the evidence? Write the travelogue of that forgotten expedition, blending the cartographic intention with the likely reality."
+  },
+  {
+    "prompt47": "You encounter a door that is usually locked, but today it is slightly ajar. This is not a grand, mysterious portal, but an ordinary door—to a storage closet, a rooftop, a neighbor's garden gate. Write about the potent allure of this minor threshold. Do you push it open? What mundane or profound discovery lies on the other side? Explore the magnetism of accessible secrets in a world of usual boundaries."
+  },
+  {
+    "prompt48": "Recall a piece of practical advice you received that functioned like a simple life algorithm: 'When X happens, do Y.' Examine a recent situation where you deliberately chose not to follow that algorithm. What prompted the deviation? What was the outcome? Describe the feeling of operating outside of a previously trusted internal program. Did the mutation feel like a mistake or an evolution?"
+  },
+  {
+    "prompt49": "Describe a piece of clothing you own that has been altered or mended multiple times. Trace the history of each repair. Who performed them, and under what circumstances? How does the garment's story of damage and restoration mirror larger cycles of wear and renewal in your own life? What does its continued use, despite its patched state, say about your relationship with impermanence and care?"
+  },

+    "prompt50": "You find an old, hand-drawn map that leads to a place in your neighborhood. Follow it. Does it lead you to a spot that still exists, or to a location now utterly changed? Describe the journey of reconciling the cartography of the past with the terrain of the present. What has been erased? What endures? What ghosts of previous journeys do you feel along the way?"
+  },
+  {
+    "prompt51": "Consider a skill you are learning. Break down its initial algorithm—the basic, rigid steps you must follow. Now, describe the moment when practice leads to mutation: the algorithm begins to dissolve into intuition, muscle memory, or personal style. Where are you in this process? Can you feel the old, clunky code still running beneath the new, fluid performance? Write about the uncomfortable, fruitful space between competence and mastery."
+  },
+  {
+    "prompt52": "Analyze the unspoken social algorithm of a group you belong to—your family, your friend circle, your coworkers. What are the input rules (jokes that are allowed, topics to avoid)? What are the output expectations (laughter, support, problem-solving)? Now, imagine introducing a mutation: you break a minor, unwritten rule. Chronicle the system's response. Does it self-correct, reject the input, or adapt?"
+  },
+  {
+    "prompt53": "Imagine your daily routine is a genetic sequence. Identify a habitual behavior that feels like a dominant gene. Now, imagine a spontaneous mutation occurring in this sequence—one small, random change in the order or execution of your day. Follow the consequences. Does this mutation prove beneficial, harmful, or neutral? Does it replicate and become part of your new code? Write about the evolution of a personal habit through chance."
+  },
+  {
+    "prompt54": "Your memory is a vast, dark archive. Choose a specific memory and imagine you are its archivist. Describe the process of retrieving it: locating the correct catalog number, the feel of the storage medium, the quality of the playback. Now, describe the process of conservation—what elements are fragile and in need of repair? Do you restore it to its original clarity, or preserve its current, faded state? What is the ethical duty of a self-archivist?"
+  },
+  {
+    "prompt55": "Examine a mended object in your possession—a book with tape, a garment with a patch, a glued-together mug. Describe the repair not as a flaw, but as a new feature, a record of care and continuity. Write the history of its breaking and its fixing. Who performed the repair, and what was their state of mind? How does the object's value now reside in its visible history of damage and healing?"
+  },
+  {
+    "prompt56": "Imagine you are a cartographer of sound. Map the auditory landscape of your current environment. Label the persistent drones, the intermittent rhythms, the sudden percussive events. What are the quiet zones? Where do sounds overlap to create new harmonies or dissonances? Now, imagine mutating one sound source—silencing a hum, amplifying a whisper, changing a rhythm. How does this single alteration redraw the entire sonic map and your emotional response to the space?"
+  },
+  {
+    "prompt57": "Contemplate the concept of a 'watershed'—a geographical dividing line. Now, identify a watershed moment in your own life: a decision, an event, or a realization that divided your experience into 'before' and 'after.' Describe the landscape of the 'before.' Then, detail the moment of the divide itself. Finally, look out over the 'after' territory. How did the paths available to you fundamentally diverge at that ridge line? What rivers of consequence began to flow in new directions?"
+  },
+  {
+    "prompt58": "Observe a spiderweb, a bird's nest, or another intricate natural construction. Describe it not as a static object, but as the recorded evidence of a process—a series of deliberate actions repeated to create a functional whole. Imagine you are an archaeologist from another planet discovering this artifact. What hypotheses would you form about the builder's intelligence, needs, and methods? Write your field report."

+    "prompt59": "Walk through a familiar indoor space (your home, your office) in complete darkness, or with your eyes closed if safe. Navigate by touch, memory, and sound alone. Describe the experience. Which objects and spaces feel different? What details do you notice that vision usually overrides? Write about the knowledge held in your hands and feet, and the temporary oblivion of the visual world. How does this shift in primary sense redefine your understanding of the space?"

+  "Listen to a piece of instrumental music you've never heard before. Without assigning narrative or emotion, describe the sounds purely as architecture. What is the shape of the piece? Is it building a spire, digging a tunnel, weaving a tapestry? Where are its load-bearing rhythms, its decorative flourishes? Write about listening as a form of spatial exploration in a dark, sonic landscape.",
+  "Examine your hands. Describe them not as tools, but as maps. What lines trace journeys of labor, care, or anxiety? What scars mark specific incidents? What patterns are inherited? Read the topography of your skin as a personal history written in calluses, wrinkles, and stains. What story do these silent cartographers tell about the life they have helped you build and touch?",
+  "Recall a public space—a library, a train station, a park—where you have spent time alone among strangers. Describe the particular quality of solitude it offers, different from being alone at home. How do you negotiate the boundary between private thought and public presence? What connections, however fleeting or imagined, do you feel to the other solitary figures sharing the space?",
+  "Contemplate a tool you use that is an extension of your body—a pen, a kitchen knife, a musical instrument. Describe the moment it ceases to be a separate object and becomes a seamless conduit for your intention. Where does your body end and the tool begin? Write about the intimacy of this partnership and the knowledge that resides in the hand, not just the mind.",
+  "You find a message in a bottle, but it is not a letter. It is a single, small, curious object. Describe this object and the questions it immediately raises. Why was it sent? What does it represent? Write two possible origin stories for this enigmatic dispatch: one mundane and logical, one magical and symbolic. Which story feels more true, and why?",
+  "Observe the play of light and shadow in a room at a specific time of day—the 'golden hour' or the deep blue of twilight. Describe how this transient illumination transforms ordinary objects, granting them drama, mystery, or softness. How does this daily performance of light alter your mood or perception of the space? Write about the silent, ephemeral art show that occurs in your home without an artist.",
+  "Recall a rule or limitation that was imposed on you in childhood—a curfew, a restricted food, a forbidden activity. Explore not just the restriction itself, but the architecture of the boundary. How did you test its strength? What creative paths did you find around it? How has your relationship with boundaries, both external and self-imposed, evolved from that early model?",
+  "Describe a small, routine action you perform daily—making coffee, tying your shoes, locking a door. Slow this action down in your mind until it becomes a series of minute, deliberate steps. Deconstruct its ingrained efficiency. What small satisfactions or moments of presence are usually glossed over? Write about finding a universe of care and attention in a habitual, forgotten motion."

-    "prompt43": "Describe your hands. Not just their appearance, but their capabilities, their scars, their memories. What have they held, built, comforted, or torn down?

-  },
-  {
-    "prompt45": "What is a piece of art (a song, painting, film, book) that fundamentally moved you? Describe the first time you encountered it.

-  },
-  {
-    "prompt46": "You have one day completely alone, with no obligations and no possibility of communication. The power and internet are out. How do you spend the hours from waking to sleeping?

-  },
-  {
-    "prompt47": "Personify a negative emotion you've been feeling lately (e.g., anxiety, envy, restlessness). Give it a name, a form, a voice. Write a character profile of it. What does it want? What does it fear? What flawed logic does it operate under? Then, write a short scene of you having a cup of tea with it, listening to its perspective."
-  },
-  {
-    "prompt48": "Describe a city you've never been to, based solely on the stories, images, and snippets you've absorbed about it. Build it from imagination and second-hand clues. Then, contrast that with a description of your own street, seen with the hyper-attentive eyes of a first-time visitor. Make the familiar alien, and the alien familiar."
-  },
-  {
-    "prompt49": "Think of a crossroads in your past. Now, imagine you see a ghost of your former self standing there, frozen in that moment of decision. What would you want to say to that ghost? Would you offer comfort, a warning, or just silent companionship? Write the encounter. Does the ghost speak back?"
-  },
-  {
-    "prompt50": "What is a tradition in your family or community\u2014big or small\u2014that you find meaningful? Describe its sensory details, its rhythms, its players. Now, trace its origin. How did it start? Has it mutated over time? What does its continued practice say about what your family values, fears, or hopes for?"
-  },
-  {
-    "prompt51": "Choose a year from your past. Catalog the soundtrack of that year: songs on the radio, albums you loved, jingles, background music. For each, describe a specific memory or feeling it evokes. How does the music of that time period color your memory of the entire era? What does it sound like to you now?"
-  },
-  {
-    "prompt52": "Write instructions for a stranger on how to be you for a day. Include the essential routines, the internal dialogues to expect, the things to avoid, the small comforts to lean on, and the passwords to your various anxieties. Be brutally honest and surprisingly practical. What would they find hardest to mimic?"
-  },
-  {
-    "prompt53": "Describe a moment of unexpected kindness, either given or received. Don't frame it as a grand gesture. Focus on a small, almost invisible act. What were the circumstances? Why was it so potent? How did it ripple out, changing the temperature of your day or your perception of someone?"
-  },
-  {
-    "prompt54": "You discover you have a superpower, but it is frustratingly mundane and specific (e.g., the ability to always know exactly what time it is without a clock, to perfectly fold fitted sheets, to find lost buttons). Explore the practical uses, the minor heroics, the unexpected downsides, and the peculiar loneliness of this unique gift."
-  },
-  {
-    "prompt55": "Go to a window. Describe the view in extreme detail, as if painting it with words, for five minutes. Then, close your eyes and describe the view from a window that was significant to you in the past (your childhood bedroom, a previous office, a grandparent's house). Juxtapose the two landscapes on the page."
-  },
-  {
-    "prompt56": "What is a question you are tired of being asked? Write a rant about why it's so irritating, reductive, or painful. Then, flip it: write the question you wish people would ask you instead. Answer that new question fully and generously."
-  },
-  {
-    "prompt57": "Describe a hobby or interest you have from the perspective of someone who finds it utterly baffling and boring. Then, defend it with the passionate zeal of a true devotee. Try to convey its magic and depth to this imagined skeptic. What is the core beauty you see that they miss?"
-  },
-  {
-    "prompt58": "List ten things you would do if you were not afraid. They can be grand (quit my job) or small (sing karaoke). Choose one and vividly imagine doing it. Walk through every step, from decision to action to aftermath. How does the air feel different on the other side of that fear?"
-  },
-  {
-    "prompt59": "Write about a time you got exactly what you wanted\u2014and it was not what you expected. Describe the desire, the anticipation, the moment of attainment, and the subtle (or not-so-subtle) disappointment or confusion that followed. What did that experience teach you about wanting?"
