BizMatch Phase 2 — Broker Workflow App
Module 1: foundation (Docker Compose, PostgreSQL, schema, migrations, login). Module 2: business scan (NAS -> DB) and the first UI. Module 3: recursive file listing, PDF streaming from the NAS and the ported pdf.js viewer. Module 4: the buyer side — buyers, contacts, NDA rounds, deals, the guided "New inquiry" flow with duplicate detection and the deal status transitions.
The UI and all domain constants are English.
Setup on 192.168.100.99 (Ubuntu 24.04)
Prerequisite: Docker + Compose plugin (sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose-v2).
# Unpack the project, then:
cd bizmatch-app
cp .env.example .env # optionally adjust DB_PASSWORD
docker compose up -d --build
The app applies all migrations on start and then listens on
http://192.168.100.99:8090.
Upgrading from Module 1:
001_init.sqlwas rewritten in place (German constants -> English). Applying it needs a fresh database:docker compose down -v && docker compose up -d --build. The DB held no production data yet, so there is nothing to migrate.
Schema notes
001_init.sql holds the full base schema (Buyer / Contact / NDA / Deal /
Business / Note / Todo / Document / ExtractionJob / Staff) and is never edited
again. 002_buyer_fields.sql adds the fields the buyer side actually collects
and is purely additive, so it applies to an existing database:
| Table | Added |
|---|---|
contact |
cell |
buyer |
address, state, background_experience, how_heard, interested_in_updates |
nda |
total_purchase_price, down_payment, intro_date |
003_interested_in_updates_nullable.sql then drops the NOT NULL and the
default from buyer.interested_in_updates: the value comes off scanned intake
sheets where the field is frequently blank, so NULL means "not answered" and
has to stay distinct from false ("explicitly no"). The buyer detail shows it
as a Yes / No / not answered control, and PATCH /api/buyers/:id accepts all
three. The two price fields stay text on purpose: the paper forms contain entries like "1.2M + inventory" that no
numeric type survives. The migration also adds the three index expressions the
duplicate check needs (lower(btrim(name)) and the digits-only phone/cell).
First smoke test:
curl http://localhost:8090/api/health
# -> {"ok":true}
# Create the three staff members (adjust the names):
curl -X POST localhost:8090/api/staff -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"name":"Chris"}'
curl -X POST localhost:8090/api/staff -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"name":"..."}'
Dev mode (without the app container)
docker compose up -d db # database only
npm install
set -a; source .env; set +a
npm run dev # tsx watch, migrations run on start
# second terminal — frontend with hot reload, /api is proxied to :8090
cd web && npm install && npm run dev
NAS mount
Mount it on the host via NFS, e.g. in /etc/fstab:
<truenas-ip>:/mnt/<pool>/bizmatch /mnt/bizmatch-nas nfs ro,soft,timeo=100 0 0
The compose file already passes NAS_ROOT (default /mnt/bizmatch-nas) into the
app container. Write access (NDA filing) comes in module 6 — then replace ro
with rw and limit the permissions to the two write paths.
Business directories
Directly below NAS_ROOT there are three status directories; every immediate
subdirectory of those is one business. The directory names are configurable
(they contain spaces and are treated as opaque strings):
| Env var | Default | Business status |
|---|---|---|
NAS_DIR_ACTIVE |
AAA = ACTIVE |
ACTIVE |
NAS_DIR_SOLD |
AAA = SOLD |
SOLD |
NAS_DIR_INACTIVE |
AAA = INACTIVE |
INACTIVE |
The scan is idempotent: existing rows are matched by name and only updated when
nas_path or status changed. Businesses that exist in the DB but no longer on
disk are kept and only reported as a warning in the log. A missing configured
directory aborts the scan with an error naming the path.
Moving to the AI machine (later)
docker compose downon .99- Take a dump:
docker compose exec db pg_dump -U bizmatch bizmatch > backup.sql - Copy the project folder to the AI machine, run
docker compose up -d --build - Restore the dump:
docker compose exec -T db psql -U bizmatch bizmatch < backup.sql

cookie; without it the API answers 401.
Buyer side (module 4)
Domain rules, all enforced in the API:
- buyer is the buying party, contact are its 1..n people, nda is one
inquiry round (a returning buyer signs a new NDA), deal is
buyer↔business inside one round. There is deliberately no uniqueness on
(buyer_id, business_id)— a returning buyer gets a new round with new deals and the history stays visible. - Deal flow
NEW → INFO_SENT → DUE_DILIGENCE → LOI → CLOSING,ENDEDfrom anywhere.POST /api/deals/:id/statusrejects only a no-op (409); everything else is allowed on purpose, because corrections have to be possible. EnteringINFO_SENTsetsfollow_up_at = today + 14, enteringENDEDclears it. - When an NDA becomes
SIGNEDit gets asigned_at(default today) and its buyer is set back toACTIVE. - Deactivating a buyer with
{"status":"DEACTIVATED","end_open_deals":true}ends all their non-ENDEDdeals; the response always carriesopen_deal_countso the UI can warn first.
GET /api/buyers/duplicates matches exactly, never fuzzily: normalised e-mail
(lower(btrim(…))), case-insensitive contact name, and phone or cell
compared digits-only, so (361) 555-0101 and 3615550101 are the same number.
Numbers with fewer than 7 digits are ignored. A candidate reports every reason
it matched in matched_on.
POST /api/inquiries is the guided flow and runs in one transaction. Without
buyer_id it creates buyer + primary contact; with buyer_id it reuses the
buyer and only adds the contact when no existing contact of that buyer has the
same normalised e-mail or the same name. It then creates the NDA round and one
deal, and returns
{buyer_id, nda_id, deal_id, created:{buyer, contact}}. The optional
backfill block (deal_status, nda_status, signed_at, nda_nas_path)
files a paper record in its real state — a backfilled INFO_SENT still arms
the 14-day follow-up, later statuses do not.
File listing and streaming
/files walks the business directory recursively (max depth 3), skipping
dotfiles, dot-directories and symlinks, and returns
{ path, size, mtime } with path relative to the business directory and
always posix-separated. PDFs come first, then everything else, each group
alphabetical.
/file?path=… streams one of those files straight from disk
(createReadStream, never buffered):
- the path is resolved against
nas_pathand thenrealpath-validated to be insiderealpath(business dir). Absolute paths,.., leading dots, empty paths and symlinks pointing out of the tree get400; a missing file404. - single-range HTTP
Rangerequests answer206withContent-Range, unsatisfiable ones416. ETagis derived from mtime + size,If-None-Matchanswers304..pdfis served asapplication/pdf(inline), anything else asapplication/octet-streamwithContent-Disposition: attachment.
Frontend
web/ is a Vite + React + TypeScript app with Tailwind v4 (no router, no state
library). The header carries the two nav entries Businesses and Buyers;
routing is a hand-rolled {view, id} state in App.tsx. Views:
- login ("Who is working?")
- business list (tabs with counts, search, "Scan NAS now")
- business detail — a master-detail split filling the viewport: file table left, PDF viewer right, plus a collapsed "Buyer activity" panel linking to the buyers who were introduced to this business
- buyer list (status chips with counts, search over company/contact/e-mail, "New inquiry")
- new inquiry — contact + business picker; while typing a known name, e-mail or phone a warning panel lists the duplicate candidates with "Use this buyer" (locks the buyer, shown as a chip with an undo) or "Create new buyer anyway". The collapsible "Backfill existing deal (paper records)" section files historic deals in their real state.
- buyer detail — status header with Deactivate/Reactivate (warns about the open deals it would end), inline-editable identity panel, contacts with a primary star, and the NDA rounds newest first: editable round fields, the deals of the round with an action menu (next step, "End deal", plus a "Correct to…" section) that opens a comment dialog, and a collapsed read-only notes list per deal.
In dev, Vite proxies /api to http://localhost:8090. In production the
Fastify app serves web/dist via @fastify/static with an SPA fallback to
index.html for all non-/api routes; the Dockerfile builds the frontend in
its own stage and copies web/dist into the runtime image.
PDF viewer
The viewer is the proven one from the phase-1 Deno desktop app (see
viewer-phase1/), ported nearly byte-identical. It lives in
web/public/viewer/ as plain, unbundled ES modules — Vite serves public/
as-is, so the same files work in dev and prod. The React app embeds it in an
<iframe>:
/viewer/index.html?file=<urlencoded /api/businesses/:id/file?path=...>
The page refuses any file value that is not a root-relative /api/ path, and
the iframe is same-origin, so the normal session cookie authenticates it.
web/public/pdfjs/ holds the pdf.js runtime, copied out of
node_modules/pdfjs-dist (pinned to exactly 6.1.200) by
web/scripts/copy-pdfjs.mjs, which runs on predev and prebuild — also
inside the Docker web stage. The directory is generated and git-ignored:
web/public/pdfjs/legacy/ pdf.min.mjs + pdf.worker.min.mjs
web/public/pdfjs/wasm/ CCITT-G4/JBIG2, JPEG2000 and ICC decoders
web/public/pdfjs/standard_fonts/ standardFontDataUrl
web/public/pdfjs/iccs/ iccUrl
The wasm/ directory is what makes scanned B/W pages render at all; without it
pdf.js fails the decoders silently and shows blank white canvases.
