Data editing guide

How to maintain Wellness Library, yoga postures, mudras, practice units, audio, and deploy preview — without editing generated JSON or deploy/web_public by hand.

Source of truth

Edit: data/creations/LifeLoveMe_Creations_Metadata_Master.xlsx and files under web/assets/
Rebuild: Python build scripts → web/data/wellness/*.json
Preview deploy: ./scripts/lifeloveme.sh prepare-deploy → deploy/web_public/
Do not manually edit deploy/web_public (changes are wiped on next prepare-deploy)

Quick map

Feature	Edit	Build	Output JSON
App Registry	`data/registry/app_registry_master.csv`	`build_app_registry.py`	`app_registry.json`
Wellness Library cards	Excel Wellness sheet	`build_wellness_units_from_metadata.py`	`wellness_units.json`
Pranayama / plan blocks	Excel Wellness (practice rows)	`build_practice_units_from_metadata.py`	`practice_units.json`
Ritual / mood audio	WellnessAudioLibrary sheet	`lifeloveme.sh build wellness-audio`	`wellness_audio_library.json`
Yoga / mudra images	`web/assets/wellness/.../final/`	—	paths in Excel → units JSON
Books / poems	Excel Books / Poems	`convert_creations_metadata_master.py`	`web/data/creations/`

Typical workflow

Edit Excel or add an asset under web/assets/
Run the matching build script from the repo root
Restart source: ./scripts/lifeloveme.sh restart source
Test the app area (library, Experience Player, or Ask)
prepare-deploy · restart deploy · check assets deploy

Test commands (Terminal)

./scripts/lifeloveme.sh test wellness-library source
./scripts/lifeloveme.sh test experience-player source
./scripts/lifeloveme.sh test ask source

After deploy preview, repeat with deploy instead of source.

Canonical Markdown lives under docs/ in the repo and is not served by the local web server (avoids 404 on deploy preview).
