 docker compose up redis taskiq-worker taskiq-scheduler
 ```
 
+## Docker
+
+Every service has its own image and its own container, all in one
+[docker-compose.yml](docker-compose.yml). **Postgres is in that file but does not run**
+— it sits behind a compose profile, and the stack talks to the PostgreSQL server
+already running on the host.
+
+```bash
+docker compose build
+docker compose up -d
+docker compose ps
+```
+
+| Service | Image | Host port | Built from |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `backend-api` | `hrms-backend:local` | 8000 | [backend/Dockerfile](backend/Dockerfile) |
+| `taskiq-worker` · `taskiq-scheduler` · `taskiq-cv-worker` · `taskiq-cv-scheduler` | `hrms-backend:local` (same image, different `command`) | — | same |
+| `ats-engine` | `hrms-ats-engine:local` | 8100 | [app/Dockerfile](app/Dockerfile) |
+| `frontend` | `hrms-frontend:local` | 5173 | [frontend/Dockerfile](frontend/Dockerfile) |
+| `redis` | `redis:7-alpine` | 6379 | — |
+| `postgres` *(profile `postgres` — never starts by default)* | `hrms-postgres:local` | 5433 | [docker/postgres/Dockerfile](docker/postgres/Dockerfile) |
+
+The backend image builds from the **repo root**, not `./backend`: `job/candidate`
+imports the scoring engine from `app/`, and `inbox.plugins` pulls that in transitively,
+so a `./backend` context produces workers that die on `No module named 'app'`.
+
+### The shared file mount
+
+`backend/inbox/decoded_attachments/` on the host is bind-mounted into every container
+that touches a CV — `backend-api`, `taskiq-worker`, `taskiq-cv-worker` — at the
+identical path `/app/inbox/decoded_attachments`. A PDF written by the API is the same
+file the worker opens, and absolute paths stored in the database resolve in either
+direction (`inbox.plugins.resolve_attachment_path` also falls back to
+basename-under-that-folder for rows written by a host process). Point it elsewhere with
+`ATTACHMENTS_DIR=/some/host/path`.
+
+### Talking to the host
+
+`backend/.env` is written for host processes, so compose overrides the three values a
+container needs: `DB_HOST=host.docker.internal` (the local Postgres),
+`EMAIL_URL=http://host.docker.internal:5000` (the email service on the host), and
+`REDIS_URL=redis://redis:6379/0`. The host Postgres must accept connections from the
+Docker bridge — `listen_addresses = '*'` plus a `pg_hba.conf` entry for `172.16.0.0/12`.
+
+> **Stop the host `uvicorn` and `npm run dev` first.** Windows lets a host process bind
+> `127.0.0.1:8000` while Docker binds `0.0.0.0:8000`, and `localhost` resolves to `::1`
+> first — so both listen and requests silently reach whichever won. Same for 5173. Use
+> `BACKEND_PORT` / `FRONTEND_PORT` / `ATS_PORT` if both must run.
+
+`VITE_API_BASE` is inlined into the bundle at **build** time (default
+`http://localhost:8000`), so changing the API origin means rebuilding the frontend
+image, not restarting the container.
+
+### The Postgres profile
+
+The image is defined alongside everything else, but the `postgres` profile keeps it out
+of `docker compose build` and `docker compose up` — bringing it up is always explicit:
+
+```bash
+docker compose --profile postgres build postgres
+docker compose --profile postgres up -d postgres   # host port 5433; 5432 is the host server's
+```
+
+Pointing the app at it is a second, deliberate step: set `DB_HOST=postgres` (the only
+value that changes — services reach it on 5432 over the compose network) and recreate
+the services. Its volume starts empty, so Alembic rebuilds the schema on first boot; it
+does not share the host server's data.
+
+### Live-code overlay
+
+[docker-compose.dev.yml](docker-compose.dev.yml) is not a second stack — it defines no
+services or images, it only adds source bind mounts and `--reload` to the ones above:
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml up
+```
+

+     list is capped at DEPT_CAP and the cap is stated on the card.

+   Calendar — live on GET /interview/fetch, scoped to the visible month.
+
+   The month grid is the prototype's, unchanged. What moved is the data source
+   and the window: `from_date`/`to_date` are sent for the month on screen, so
+   paging back a year is one small request rather than a filter over everything
+   ever scheduled. Each month is its own query key, so revisiting a month you
+   already looked at repaints from cache.
+
+   "Today" is real time now. The prototype pinned TODAY to 2026-07-09 so its
+   generated dates stayed stable; with live rows that pin would highlight the
+   wrong cell and show an empty agenda every day of the year.

+   Interviews — live on GET /interview/fetch (range mode).
+
+   Scheduling writes POST /interview/create, the row actions write
+   PATCH /interview/update, and the scorecard writes POST /feedback/create
+   against the same application. Templates come from /feedback/templates/fetch.
+
+   FOUR COLUMNS THE PROTOTYPE HAD ARE GONE. `serialize_interview` returns seven
+   fields and the `interviews` table has no more columns than that, so meeting
+   mode, duration, the interviewer list and the feedback verdict have no source.
+   They are dropped rather than rendered as permanent em-dashes — the rule Jobs,
+   Candidates and Inbox already follow. Job title is not on the interview row
+   either; it is hydrated from the pipeline application the interview hangs off.
+
+   An interview is scoped to an APPLICATION (inbox.id), which is why the
+   candidate picker reads the pipeline board rather than the candidate list:
+   that payload is the only one carrying inbox_id, the person and the role
+   together. Manual-upload candidates have no inbox row and therefore cannot be
+   scheduled here at all — the picker says so instead of silently omitting them.

+
+   Reads: GET /job/fetch (every post with its Buffer state), GET
+   /job/buffer/channels (the connected destinations) and GET /jobs/alias (the
+   platform vocabulary the backend will resolve). Publishing a new post is
+   POST /job/post-job, which is Create Job on the Jobs screen — this page links
+   there rather than duplicating a 15-field form.
+
+   THIS IS NOW A PUBLISHING BOARD, NOT AN ANALYTICS BOARD. The prototype's
+   views / clicks / applications / conversion columns had no source anywhere:
+   Buffer posts go out, and nothing reads engagement back. Inventing four
+   metrics per row is exactly the failure mode the Jobs and Candidates screens
+   already refused, so those columns are gone. What replaced them is the state
+   the backend genuinely tracks — publish status, the channel, when Buffer
+   accepted it, the external permalink and the error text on failure — which is
+   what a recruiter actually needs when a post did not appear.
+
+   Platform naming is rendered through lib/platforms: /jobs/alias hands back the
+   raw spelling-tolerance keys ("fb", "insta", "gbp"), which are input vocabulary,
+   not networks. The alias stays the value sent on the wire; only the text the
+   recruiter reads is the label.
