Julien Gautier 79eee77594 chore: initialize repository with project rules, docs, and phase-1 ADRs
Set up the foundation for the adastra-portal project:

- CLAUDE.md captures durable project rules (quality bar, security/perf/a11y
  as first-class, language, commit conventions, ADR proactivity).
- docs/ and decisions/ scaffolding with maintained indexes (docs/README.md
  and decisions/README.md), MADR 4.0.0 template, and tag vocabulary.
- Phase-1 ADRs (0001-0006) lock structural choices: ADR usage, Nx monorepo
  with the apps preset, naming convention (adastra-portal / portal-shell /
  portal-bff), Angular CSR/zoneless/Signals/Vitest, NestJS over Express,
  PostgreSQL with Prisma.
- docs/setup/ guides translated to English.
- .gitignore covers Node/Nx artifacts and the personal notes/ scratchpad.

The Nx workspace itself is not yet bootstrapped; that step is gated on a
revised setup guide aligned with the ADRs.

🖥️ Modern WSL terminal (Zsh + Powerlevel10k)

Goal

A terminal that is:

  • readable
  • fast
  • equipped with intelligent autocomplete
  • suited for modern development

1) Install Zsh

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y zsh

Set it as the default shell:

chsh -s $(which zsh)

Under WSL, add the following to ~/.bashrc:

if command -v zsh >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  exec zsh
fi

2) Install Oh My Zsh

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

3) Install Powerlevel10k

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git \
  ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes/powerlevel10k

In ~/.zshrc:

ZSH_THEME="powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k"

Then:

source ~/.zshrc
p10k configure

4) Install a Nerd Font (on Windows)

Install a Nerd Font on Windows (MesloLGS NF recommended).

Configure it in Windows Terminal:

  • Settings → Debian profile
  • Font → MesloLGS NF

5) Useful plugins

plugins=(
  git
  fzf
  zsh-autosuggestions
  zsh-syntax-highlighting
)

Install them:

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions \
  ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting \
  ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting

6) Modern CLI tools

sudo apt install -y \
  bat eza fd-find ripgrep fzf zoxide

Recommended aliases:

alias ls="eza --icons"
alias ll="eza -lh --git --icons"
alias cat="batcat"
alias grep="rg"
alias find="fdfind"

7) FZF

Add to ~/.zshrc:

[ -f ~/.fzf.zsh ] && source ~/.fzf.zsh

Result

  • A modern terminal
  • Fast navigation
  • Higher productivity
