### Summary of Changes
  1. Documentation Consolidation:
      • Relocated the docs/ folder and all repository .md files (README.md, DEPLOYMENT.md, DOCKER_README.md,
      DOMAINS_README.md, GETTING_STARTED.md, CI_CD_PORTAINER_GUIDE.md, ADMIN_DEPLOYMENT_SUMMARY.md,
      SECURITY_PRIVATE_FILES.md, handoff.md, azure-project-plan.md, plus service-specific READMEs) into .
      • Updated document links in README.md.
  2. AI Agent Project Map:
      • Created PROJECT_MAP.md in the project root containing complete architecture diagrams, service specs, ports, DB
      schemas, environment variables, and developer workflows.
      • Added PROJECT_MAP.md to .gitignore.
  3. Monitoring UI & Infrastructure Integration:
      • Added monitoring_ui service to docker-compose.yml (port 5175).
      • Configured Gitea workflow docker-build.yml for monitoring_ui builds.
      • Added CORS middleware headers in index.js.
      • Added nginx.conf copy step in Dockerfile.

App Onboard Prepare — Pricing Guide

⛔ SELF-CHECK: If costEstimate.breakdown[] has ANY monthlyUsd > 0, at least one pricing_get or az rest pricing API call MUST appear in this session. Estimating from memory or training data is NEVER acceptable — reference values in this file may be outdated. If API fails after 2 attempts, use the reference value WITH disclaimer: "⚠️ Estimated from reference — live API unavailable."

No Free-Tier Shortcut — Compute Always Has Cost

⛔ There is no $0 shortcut. Compute has a floor (App Service B1, Static Web Apps Standard, Functions Flex Consumption) — F1/D1/Free/Consumption are never selected (see sku-matrix.md). So any app with a compute component has a non-zero monthly cost and MUST get a live pricing call. Do NOT write a $0 estimate for a compute app.

Some services can still fall within free grant limits (they are metered, not a fixed free SKU) — note the grant in the estimate but still price the paid meters:

Service Free grant (still price paid usage above it)
Functions (Flex Consumption) First 250K executions + 100K GB-s/month
Cosmos DB Free-tier account: 1000 RU/s + 25 GB (one per subscription)
Container Apps First 180K vCPU-s + 360K GiB-s + 2M requests/month
Log Analytics First 5 GB/month ingestion

App Service Quick Reference

SKU skuName Monthly
B1 Linux B1 ~$13.14

⛔ Case-sensitive: use B1 not b1. Use skuName (not armSkuName) for Basic/Standard.


How to Use

  1. Pick SKU from sku-matrix.md based on budget intent.
  2. Find service section in pricing-guide-services.md for filter strings and formulas.
  3. Call the pricing router — tool mcp_azure_mcp_pricing (VS Code) / azure-pricing (CLI) — with intent, command: "pricing_get", and a parameters object (NOT --flags). Parallel OK. ⛔ At least one filter inside parameters: sku, service, region, service-family, or filter. ⛔ sku matches armSkuName, not skuName — use it ONLY when armSkuName is populated (App Service, MySQL/PostgreSQL, Redis). Empty-armSkuName services (ACR, Storage, Cosmos) return [] or 400 for sku/service — use a raw filter on serviceName + meterName instead.
  4. Apply the monthly multiplier from each meter's unitOfMeasure (see § Monthly Multiplier) — NOT a per-service constant.
  5. Cross-check returned retailPrice against planned SKU.

Monthly Multiplier — by Meter Unit

⛔ Read unitOfMeasure per price record — NEVER blanket × 730 (one service mixes units, e.g. ACR returns 1/Day + 1 Second + 1 GB/Month):

unitOfMeasure Monthly formula
1 Hour / 1/Hour retailPrice × 730
1/Day / 1 Day retailPrice × 30
1 GB/Month retailPrice × estimatedGB (already monthly)
1 Second / 1 GiB Second retailPrice × activeUnitsPerMonth (usage-based)
10K / 1M operations retailPrice × estimatedOps ÷ unitSize

Usage-Based Services

When AI/OpenAI/LLM components detected: add "💸 Usage-based — excluded from total" to costEstimate.breakdown[] and "⚠️🤖 AI inference costs excluded" to assumptions[]. Surface at EVERY approval gate.

Service Pricing Reference

See pricing-guide-services.md for per-service filter strings, meter names, and monthly formulas.

Key rules:

  • armSkuName is empty for most PaaS — filter by meterName or productName
  • Monthly multiplier: read unitOfMeasure (§ Monthly Multiplier) — never assume ×730
  • Functions Consumption / Static Web Apps: not in API
  • Default isPrimaryMeterRegion eq true + priceType eq 'Consumption' — but check the service section in pricing-guide-services.md first; some drop isPrimaryMeterRegion (Service Bus, Cosmos 100 RU/s, Redis Basic).
  • Service names are case-sensitive

Troubleshooting

When pricing_get returns empty: (1) Check armSkuName populated/case-sensitive? (2) HTTP fallback: https://prices.azure.com/api/retail/prices?$filter={filter}. (3) After 2 failures, use pricing-guide-services.md with disclaimer. (4) Log to costEstimate.apiFailures[].

⛔ Never claim user has free credits remaining. Use: "Check balance at portal."
