📋 Documentation Impact

• Priority: high
• Affected Docs: docs/backend/setup.md, docs/backend/api_endpoints.md
• Summary: Multiple new modules, database models, and API endpoints have been added. This includes new data models for Library (books, allocations, queue), User management (roles, student profiles, courses, classrooms, attendance), and initial data for chat rooms, messages, and canteen menus. A new authentication signup endpoint for students has also been introduced. The backend setup documentation needs to be created or updated to reflect the database initialization and the inclusion of new routers. API documentation needs to be created for the new authentication endpoint and other implicit routes that will be handled by the new routers.

🔧 Changes Implemented

1. docs/backend/setup.md

• Section: Database Setup and Initialization
• Action: create
• Description: Explains how to set up the database, use environment variables, and how database tables are created using SQLAlchemy.
• Examples: DATABASE_URL = "sqlite:///./ace_app.db", user_models.Base.metadata.create_all(bind=engine), library_models.Base.metadata.create_all(bind=engine), backend/app/chat_data.json, backend/app/library_data.json, backend/app/menu_data.json, backend/app/messages_data.json
• Effort: medium

2. docs/backend/api_endpoints.md

• Section: Authentication Endpoints
• Action: create
• Description: Documents the new student signup endpoint, including its purpose, expected request body, and possible responses.
• Examples: POST /auth/signup/student, {
  "full_name": "John Student",
  "email": "john.student@example.com",
  "password": "secure_password_123",
  "sap_id": 1234567890,
  "roll_number": "S12345",
  "branch": "COMPS",
  "year": 2
  }, app.include_router(auth_routes.router), app.include_router(library_routes.router), app.include_router(chat_routes.router)
• Effort: medium

3. docs/backend/data_models.md

• Section: Library Management Models
• Action: create
• Description: Details the new SQLAlchemy models for library management, including Book, BookAllocation, and BookQueue, along with their respective enums.
• Examples: class Book(Base):
  tablename = "library_books"
  id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True, index=True), class User(Base):
  tablename = "users"
  id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True, index=True), class Role(enum.Enum):
  student = "student"
  admin = "admin"
