# 2026-02-24 Session Notes

## Compass Architecture Refactoring Planning

Session began with a significant architectural decision: separating Compass into a generic standalone runtime with HPS (High Performance Structures / OpenRange Construction) as a package that runs on top. This transforms Compass from a construction-specific tool into a reusable platform.

Nicholai initiated the request to understand current coupling between HPS domain logic and core platform code. Assistant began comprehensive codebase exploration to map:
- Schema coupling (core vs construction-specific tables)
- Server actions separation
- Component organization
- Library modules
- Agent tools categorization
- Route structure
- Environment configuration

Exploration agent was queued to analyze the Compass codebase structure before planning the refactoring strategy. Session ended as exploration was beginning.
