Sluglines
Slug lines and HOV-3 carpools in Northern Virginia — the directory, the rules, and a coordination board for one pilot corridor.
Slugging is casual carpooling: at designated lots on I-95, I-395 and I-66, drivers pick up strangers to meet the HOV-3 requirement, and riders get a free commute. No money changes hands. It has worked for decades on nothing but a queue and a destination called out of a window. This repository is the rebuild of sluglines.com, the community's site since 2016.
What is here
- The spot directory — 50 pickup locations across three corridors, with directions, peak hours, parking and the lines each lot runs to and from, served at
/spots and /slug_pickup. Public, no account needed.
- Public counts — aggregate rider and driver counts per spot on the home page and every spot page, read through SECURITY DEFINER functions so no member row is ever exposed.
- How slugging works and the rules — the community's etiquette, migrated from the legacy site.
- The archive — every page and post from the WordPress site, served at its original URL or redirected, with a branded 410 for the forum paths that are gone for good.
- Sign-in by phone code, a display name and a home spot — the only identity a member has. Other members never see a phone number.
- Check-in — a member at a spot can say so from the spot page; drivers see the count, not the name.
- The board for one pilot corridor, Horner Rd ↔ L'Enfant Plaza: post a seat, reserve one, cancel or release your own. Offers move through a revision-checked, idempotent state machine in SQL.
What is not here (yet)
- No mobile app. The
/app page is preserved from the 2018 site with a note saying so.
- No live updates. The board re-renders on a 30-second poll while the tab is open; there is no Supabase Realtime subscription in this code.
- No SMS provider wired in, so sign-in cannot yet send a code in production (issue #52).
- Every migration after
0026 is written and not applied; see supabase/migrations/README.md for what "applied" means here and who may do it.
Open work lives in GitHub Issues, and nowhere else.

Working in this repository
Read AGENTS.md first. It is the contract every contributor and every agent works to: six independent gates, append-only migrations that nothing here applies, an append-only decision log, content preservation for the 400+ legacy routes, and a definition of done that requires a person to have seen the change working at the deployed URL.
npm ci
npm run test # unit + schema harness; live-* suites skip without .env.preview.local
npm run lint
npm run typecheck
npm run build
npm run sql:check # the SQL analyser + the seed generator's byte-for-byte check
npm run e2e # Playwright, desktop + mobile Chromium
Run them as six commands, never one && chain: a gate that stops the others from running hides what they would have said.
To run the app locally, copy .env.example to .env.local and fill in the Supabase URL and anon key of a preview branch — never the production project. The live test suites refuse the production ref by design; keep it that way.
