## role
This package contains planning and design documents for implementing automatic database setup, migration, and recovery mechanisms for a Dockerized API application.
## files
- .openspec.yaml | Defines an OpenSpec configuration file with schema type and creation date metadata
- design.md | Design document specifying how to implement automatic database migration running, connection retry logic, and graceful error handling on application startup | dep: SQLAlchemy, Alembic, Docker, async context
- proposal.md | Proposes architectural changes for automatic database initialization, migration management, and seed data handling in a Dockerized API application | dep: alembic, docker-compose, traefik, fastapi/sqlalchemy (implied), postgres (implied)
- tasks.md | Project task checklist tracking completion status of database initialization, error handling, Docker integration, and testing work items.
## arch
Documentation-driven architecture using OpenSpec for schema configuration, with designs for startup-time database initialization, connection retry with exponential backoff, migration running, and seed data handling integrated into Docker container orchestration.
