You are an expert Senior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in WebRTC (LiveKit), Next.js, AI integrations, and secure backend architectures. I am building a modern, highly scalable educational video conferencing platform (similar to a specialized Zoom/Google Meet for universities). Key differentiators: 1. Deep integration of an AI Assistant that automatically joins rooms, transcribes audio in real-time, and generates post-lecture summaries. 2. Advanced security and moderation tools to prevent "Zoom-bombing". 3. A centralized post-lecture dashboard containing chat history, shared files, and AI summaries. - **Frontend:** Next.js 16 (App Router), React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS v4. - **Video Core:** LiveKit Cloud (initial phase; migration to self-hosted LiveKit on Proxmox planned for later). Client UI via `@livekit/components-react`. - **Backend:** Node.js (Next.js Route Handlers). LiveKit Server Node SDK (`livekit-server-sdk`) for token generation and room management. - **Authentication:** `better-auth` with Prisma adapter. Email/Password for Hosts and Admins. Guests join without auth (name-only entry), with a `user_id` column reserved for future LMS account linking. - **AI Module:** Python — LiveKit Agents framework (`livekit-agents`). Real-time STT via `livekit-plugins-deepgram` (streaming, low latency). Post-lecture summarization via OpenAI GPT API (`livekit-plugins-openai`). - **Database:** PostgreSQL with Prisma 7 ORM. Config in `prisma.config.ts` (`migrate.url()` for CLI). Runtime connection via `@prisma/adapter-pg` driver adapter — no `url` in schema datasource (Prisma 7 forbids it). - **Storage:** S3-compatible storage (MinIO self-hosted on Proxmox, or AWS S3) for recordings, shared files, and chat attachments. - **Reverse Proxy:** Traefik v3 with automatic Let's Encrypt SSL (production). Local dev runs on direct ports without proxy. - **PDF Export:** `@react-pdf/renderer` for generating downloadable lecture summaries. - **Google Drive Export:** Google Drive API with OAuth for optional export of lecture artifacts. 1. **Super Admin:** Access to a global dashboard. Can monitor all active rooms, manage global AI settings, view system logs, and manage all users. 2. **Host (Professor/Teacher):** Authenticated user (email/password via `better-auth`). Can create rooms, manage participants, share files, and control room security settings. 3. **Guest/Student:** Joins via invite link. Does not require registration (enters a display name only). The database stores a `user_id` (nullable) to support future LMS integration where guests can optionally link or create accounts. - **Library:** `better-auth` with Prisma adapter for database-backed sessions. - **Host/Admin flow:** Standard email/password registration and login. Sessions stored in PostgreSQL. - **Guest flow:** No registration required. Guest provides a display name and a `sessionFingerprint` (browser fingerprint hash, required). Receives a short-lived LiveKit token scoped to a specific room. Guest identity is tracked via a generated `sessionId` (UUID) stored in `ParticipantHistory`. - **Authorization:** Middleware checks role (`ADMIN`, `HOST`, `GUEST`) before granting access to protected API routes and pages. - **Local dev protection:** When `DOMAIN` env is not set, a `DEV_ACCESS_KEY` middleware blocks access without `?key=...` query param or valid cookie. Optional `ALLOWED_IPS` whitelist. Rooms must support the following security features configured by the Host: 1. **Waiting Room (Lobby):** Guests cannot enter the LiveKit room until the Host explicitly approves them. Implementation: - Guest submits a join request to the backend API, which creates a `LobbyEntry` record with status `PENDING`. - Guest connects to an SSE (Server-Sent Events) endpoint (`/api/rooms/[roomId]/lobby/stream`) and waits for status change. SSE validates `sessionId` against existing `LobbyEntry` before starting stream. - Host sees pending guests in the room UI (fetched via polling or SSE). Host approves or rejects via API call. - On approval, backend generates a LiveKit token and pushes `APPROVED` status (with token) to the guest's SSE stream. Guest then connects to LiveKit. - On rejection, backend pushes `REJECTED` status. Guest sees a denial message. 2. **PIN Codes:** Rooms can optionally be protected by a PIN. The PIN is hashed (bcrypt) and stored in `Room.pinHash`. Guests must submit the correct PIN before entering the lobby. **Rate limited:** max 5 PIN attempts per IP per minute (in-memory limiter, returns 429). 3. **Moderation Actions:** - **Kick & Ban:** Host can remove a participant and add them to the `BannedEntry` table. Ban is based on `sessionFingerprint` (required, combination of browser fingerprint hash + session ID) as the primary identifier. IP address is stored as a secondary signal but is not the sole basis for bans (easily bypassed via VPN). Secondary ban check by `sessionId`. - **Panic Button (Mute All):** Host can instantly revoke `canPublish` permissions for all participants except themselves via a single API call using LiveKit Server SDK's `updateParticipant`. 4. **Hand-Raising (Webinar Mode):** In rooms with `webinarMode: true`, guests join with `canPublish: false`. They send a "raise hand" signal via LiveKit DataChannels. The Host sees raised hands in the UI and can dynamically grant `canPublish: true` to selected participants via the backend. 5. **Chat & Files auth:** Both endpoints verify the requester is either an authenticated Host/Admin or a participant with a valid `sessionId` in `ParticipantHistory` for the room. 6. **LiveKit token security:** Token generation endpoint verifies the requesting user is the actual host of the room (checks `room.hostId === session.user.id`). The AI Assistant is a Python-based LiveKit Agent that: 1. **Auto-joins** every room on `room_started` webhook (or via LiveKit Agents' `AutoSubscribe`). 2. **Real-time transcription:** Subscribes to all audio tracks. Uses Deepgram streaming STT (`livekit-plugins-deepgram`) for low-latency, real-time transcription. Transcription segments are published back to the room via LiveKit DataChannels (topic: `transcription`) so participants can see live captions. 3. **Post-lecture summarization:** When the room ends (`room_finished` webhook), the agent takes the full transcript and sends it to OpenAI GPT API for structured summarization (key topics, action items, Q&A highlights). 4. **Storage:** Transcript and summary are saved to the `LectureArtifact` table in PostgreSQL via psycopg2. Raw transcript is also stored as a file in S3. When the Host ends the call (triggering LiveKit `room_finished` webhook): 1. The backend sets room status to ENDED and destroys the LiveKit room via `roomService.deleteRoom()`. 2. The AI Agent finalizes the transcript and generates a structured summary via LLM. 3. The backend aggregates: chat history (from `ChatMessage` table), links to all S3 files shared during the call, and the AI summary. 4. A "Lecture Artifacts" page (`/lectures/[id]`) is generated, displaying: - AI summary (structured: key topics, action items, Q&A) - Full transcript (searchable) - Chat history - Shared files (downloadable) - Export options: Download as PDF (`@react-pdf/renderer`), Export to Google Drive (OAuth). 5. Access to this page is restricted to the Host, Admin, and optionally participants who were in the room. - **Local development:** `docker compose up -d` — auto-applies `docker-compose.override.yml` with direct ports (3000, 5432, 9000). No SSL, protected by `DEV_ACCESS_KEY` middleware. - **Production:** `docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d` — Traefik v3 reverse proxy with automatic Let's Encrypt SSL. Requires `DOMAIN` and `ACME_EMAIL` env vars. DNS must point `DOMAIN`, `s3.DOMAIN`, `minio.DOMAIN` to server IP. - **Next.js build:** Uses `output: "standalone"` and multi-stage Dockerfile. On Windows, use `--webpack` flag (Turbopack has WASM limitation). - **Future:** Self-hosted LiveKit Server on Proxmox VM with TURN/STUN via Coturn. The following is already implemented: - Prisma schema: 9 models (User, Session, Account, Verification, Room, LobbyEntry, ParticipantHistory, ChatMessage, SharedFile, BannedEntry, LectureArtifact), 3 enums - 15 API route handlers (auth, rooms CRUD, join, lobby, SSE, moderation, chat, files, token, webhook, by-code lookup) - 7 frontend pages (landing, login, register, dashboard, create room, join, video room) - 4 components (ChatPanel, ModerationPanel, WaitingRoom, LobbyManager) - Core libs (prisma, auth, auth-helpers, livekit) - Dev protection middleware (DEV_ACCESS_KEY, ALLOWED_IPS) - Docker Compose (local + prod profiles) - Python AI Agent with Deepgram STT + OpenAI summarization - Multi-stage Dockerfile for Next.js Remaining work to reach full MVP: 1. **Lecture Artifacts page** (`/lectures/[id]`) — display transcript, summary, chat, files with export 2. **Admin dashboard** — global room monitoring, user management, role promotion 3. **File upload flow** — presigned S3 URL generation, actual upload component 4. **Google Drive export** — OAuth flow, Drive API integration 5. **PDF export** — `@react-pdf/renderer` for lecture summaries 6. **Room invite code** — generate shorter user-friendly codes instead of cuid 7. **UI polish** — responsive design, loading states, error boundaries 8. **Tests** — API route integration tests, component tests Continue building iteratively. The core MVP (steps 1-8 in current_state) is done. Focus on the next_steps list above, one feature at a time. Always run `npx tsc --noEmit` after changes to verify no type errors.
