# Agent Instructions — `apps/`

Shared conventions for the deployable apps. Read together with the
[root `AGENTS.md`](../AGENTS.md) and the app's own scoped `AGENTS.md`.

## Vercel build output

**Standalone Vercel sites build into `dist/` inside the app** (`apps/<app>/dist`).
The output is `dist` either because the app's `vercel.json` sets
`"outputDirectory": "dist"` (e.g. `storybook`) or because its framework preset
already defaults there (e.g. `docs`, whose [`vercel.json`](docs/vercel.json) uses
`"framework": "vite"` and so needs no explicit key). Keep it `dist` — do not
introduce per-app output names (`storybook-static`, `build`, `out`, …). The global
`dist` rule in [`.gitignore`](../.gitignore) already covers it, so no per-app
ignore entry is needed.

Two apps are **exceptions**, for reasons that are not a style choice:

- **`console`** emits to `internal/staticui/console/dist` because the Go server
  `go:embed`s that exact tree to serve the console itself
  ([`internal/staticui/console/embed.go`](../internal/staticui/console/embed.go)).
  The output path is dictated by the embed, not by this convention. The
  hosted cloud's `console` service (repo-root [`vercel.json`](../vercel.json))
  copies that build to `dist/ui/console/` and serves `dist`.
- **`mock-zitadel`** is a Vercel **Function** deploy, not a static site: it
  bundles into `api/` and rewrites `/(.*) → /api`, so it has no static
  `outputDirectory` to standardise.
