-**Document Version:** 1.1  
-**Last Updated by:** Planner Agent  
+### [Planner] Research Notes - RECIPE-0003 (2026-02-16)
+
+**Task:** Update application icon and configure Docker deployment
+
+#### PWA Icon Generation - icon-source.png
+**Research Date:** 2026-02-16  
+**Source:** Project analysis, PWA best practices, sharp documentation
+
+**Icon Source File:**
+- Location: `static/icon-source.png`
+- Size: 672KB PNG file
+- Format: PNG with transparency (confirmed via file analysis)
+- Destination sizes: 192x192 (favicon.png), 512x512 (icon-512.png)
+
+**PWA Icon Requirements:**
+From RECIPE-0002 research and W3C Web App Manifest specification:
+1. **Minimum Size**: 192x192 pixels (required for PWA installability)
+2. **Recommended Size**: 512x512 pixels (for splash screens, high-DPI displays)
+3. **Format**: PNG with transparency support
+4. **Purpose**: "any maskable" for optimal Android compatibility
+5. **Location**: static/ directory (served at root path)
+
+**Sharp Library Configuration:**
+- Version: 0.34.5 (already in dependencies)
+- Method: resize() with fit: 'contain' to preserve aspect ratio
+- Background: transparent (rgba 0,0,0,0)
+- Format: PNG with optimization
+- Quality: Default compression for web delivery
+
+**Implementation Pattern:**
+```javascript
+await sharp('static/icon-source.png')
+  .resize(192, 192, {
+    fit: 'contain',
+    background: { r: 0, g: 0, b: 0, alpha: 0 }
+  })
+  .png()
+  .toFile('static/favicon.png');
+```
+
+**Rationale:**
+- `fit: 'contain'` preserves aspect ratio without cropping
+- Transparent background maintains icon transparency
+- PNG format required by Web App Manifest spec
+- Same approach for both 192x192 and 512x512 variants
+
+---
+
+#### Docker Volume Configuration
+**Research Date:** 2026-02-16  
+**Source:** Codebase analysis, Dockerfile, scheduler.ts, extraction.ts
+
+**Volume Requirements Analysis:**
+From code analysis, only one persistent volume is required:
+
+**1. /app/secrets - Instagram Authentication Storage**
+- **Purpose**: Persist Instagram session cookies across container restarts
+- **File**: auth.json (Playwright storage state)
+- **Usage**: 
+  - scheduler.ts: Checks `/app/secrets/auth.json` for Docker deployments
+  - extraction.ts: Loads authentication from `/app/secrets/auth.json`
+  - gen-auth.js: Browser automation saves session to secrets/auth.json
+- **Rationale**: Prevents re-login on every container restart
+- **Docker Path**: /app/secrets
+- **Host Path**: ./secrets (relative to docker-compose.yml)
+
+**Volumes NOT Required:**
+- **Database**: Queue uses in-memory storage (QueueManager.ts)
+- **Cache**: Service worker cache is ephemeral
+- **Uploads**: No file upload functionality
+- **Logs**: Console logs to stdout/stderr (Docker logging)
+- **Build artifacts**: Built into image at build time
+
+**VOLUME Directive:**
+```dockerfile
+VOLUME ["/app/secrets"]
+```
+
+**docker-compose.yml Volume Mount:**
+```yaml
+volumes:
+  - ./secrets:/app/secrets
+```
+
+---
+
+#### Environment Variable Inventory
+**Research Date:** 2026-02-16  
+**Source:** queue/config.ts, llm.ts, tandoor-config.ts, scheduler.ts
+
+**Comprehensive Variable List:**
+
+**LLM Configuration (REQUIRED):**
+- `OPENAI_BASE_URL` - OpenAI-compatible API endpoint
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY` - API authentication key
+- `LLM_MODEL` - Model identifier (default: gpt-4o)
+
+**Queue Configuration (OPTIONAL):**
+- `QUEUE_CONCURRENCY` - Parallel processing limit (default: 2)
+- `QUEUE_MAX_RETRIES` - Retry attempts (default: 3)
+
+**Tandoor Integration (OPTIONAL):**
+- `TANDOOR_ENABLED` - Enable Tandoor upload (default: false)
+- `TANDOOR_SERVER_URL` - Tandoor base URL
+- `TANDOOR_SPACE` - Space ID (default: 1)
+- `TANDOOR_TOKEN` - API token
+
+**Push Notifications (OPTIONAL):**
+- `VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY` - Web Push public key (has default)
+- `VAPID_PRIVATE_KEY` - Web Push private key (has default)
+
+**Authentication Scheduler (OPTIONAL):**
+- `AUTH_SCHEDULER_ENABLED` - Enable auto-renewal (default: false)
+- `AUTH_SCHEDULER_INTERVAL_MINUTES` - Renewal interval (default: 720)
+
+**Runtime Configuration:**
+- `NODE_ENV` - Environment mode (production/development)
+- `PORT` - SvelteKit port (default: 3000)
+- `DISPLAY` - X11 display for Playwright (set to :99 in docker-compose.yml)
+
+**Default Values:**
+All variables have sensible defaults except:
+- OPENAI_BASE_URL (required)
+- OPENAI_API_KEY (required)
+
+**VAPID Keys:**
+Current defaults in queue/config.ts:
+- Public: BNextdcB_fQ0BVvyGioM5L8Tf9vKQjs-WnF-rUbnU8MdWIZQYfggIHxBnW21I-lq_0HykLCdMpYj8d5joavWdxQ
+- Private: JwxI_KcsBcehYcTOufMcbVWJjCq1QbH5FJmSyQuG680
+- Note: These should be regenerated for production deployments
+
+**Variable Access Pattern:**
+- Server-side only: Uses `$env/dynamic/private` from SvelteKit
+- No client-side environment variable exposure
+- Runtime configuration (no build-time substitution)
+
+---
+
+#### Docker Health Check Configuration
+**Research Date:** 2026-02-16  
+**Source:** routes/api/health/+server.ts analysis
+
+**Health Check Endpoint:**
+- Path: `/api/health`
+- Method: GET
+- Response: 200 OK with JSON body
+- Implementation: `src/routes/api/health/+server.ts`
+
+**Health Check Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "status": "ok",
+  "timestamp": "2026-02-16T..."
+}
+```
+
+**Docker Health Check Configuration:**
+```yaml
+healthcheck:
+  test: ["CMD", "node", "-e", "fetch('http://localhost:3000/api/health').then(r => r.ok ? process.exit(0) : process.exit(1)).catch(() => process.exit(1))"]
+  interval: 30s
+  timeout: 10s
+  retries: 3
+  start_period: 40s
+```
+
+**Rationale:**
+- `interval: 30s` - Balance between responsiveness and overhead
+- `timeout: 10s` - Sufficient for app initialization
+- `retries: 3` - Allow transient failures
+- `start_period: 40s` - Accounts for Playwright browser initialization
+- Uses internal fetch to avoid curl dependency
+
+---
+
+#### Docker Deployment Constraints
+**Research Date:** 2026-02-16  
+**Source:** Dockerfile, app.server.ts, browser.ts
+
+**Current Dockerfile Analysis:**
+- Base: node:22-alpine (minimal, production-ready)
+- Chromium: Installed via apk (headless browser for Instagram extraction)
+- Fonts: liberation-fonts, noto, noto-cjk (text rendering)
+- Build: npm ci + npm run build
+- Runtime: Node.js ESM import
+- Port: 3000 (EXPOSE)
+- Environment: NODE_ENV=production
+
+**Browser Initialization:**
+From app.server.ts:
+- initializeBrowser() called on server start
+- Graceful shutdown handlers (SIGTERM, SIGINT)
+- Critical for extraction.ts Playwright usage
+
+**Security Options:**
+- `seccomp=unconfined` - Required for Chromium sandbox
+- `--no-sandbox` in browser.ts launch args
+- Necessary for containerized Chromium
+
+**No Changes Required:**
+Current Dockerfile is production-ready, only needs VOLUME addition.
