-# Prime Context: Proxy Infrastructure
+# Prime Context: Proxy Infrastructure (V2)
 
 You are now working on the **proxy infrastructure** for this system.
 
 ## Architecture Overview
 
-This system uses a **template-based proxy generation** paradigm:
+This system uses a **Traefik label-based routing** paradigm (V2):
 
-1. **Source of Truth**: `db.yml` defines all services and their routing rules
-2. **Code Generation**: Python templates generate:
-   - `proxy/docker-compose.yml` - Traefik stack configuration
-   - `proxy/traefik/traefik.yml` - Traefik static configuration
-   - `proxy/traefik/dynamic/*.yml` - Dynamic routing rules
-3. **Zero-Downtime Deployment**:
-   - Stateless services (traefik, crowdsec) use `docker-rollout`
-   - Infrastructure services (dockerproxy, dns) restart normally
+1. **Source of Truth**: Project compose files in `projects/{project}/docker-compose.yml` and `projects/{project}/traefik.yml`
+2. **Code Generation**: Python scripts generate:
+   - `upstream/{project}/docker-compose.yml` - Service configuration with Traefik labels injected
+3. **Routing**:
+   - Traefik automatically discovers services via Docker labels
+   - No separate proxy configuration files needed
 
 ## Key Components
 
-### Traefik Stack
-- **traefik**: Reverse proxy with Let's Encrypt, listens on ports 8080 (http) and 8443 (https)
-- **dockerproxy**: Secure Docker socket proxy (minimal permissions)
-- **dns**: DNS honeypot at 172.30.0.253 for logging
-- **crowdsec**: Security plugin for threat detection
-
 ### Routing Modes
 - **HTTP/HTTPS**: Domain-based routing with automatic TLS via Let's Encrypt
 - **TCP**: SNI-based routing for raw TCP (databases, VPN)
 - **UDP**: Port-based routing (VPN)
 
-### Discovery Methods
-1. **Dynamic Labels** (preferred): Services with `ingress.domain` get Traefik labels auto-generated
-2. **Static File Routers**: Services with `ingress.hostport` or `passthrough` get static config files
+### Discovery Method (V2)
+All services use **Traefik Docker Labels** which are automatically injected into docker-compose files during generation.
 
 ## Critical Files to Read
 
-**Start here** to understand the proxy system:
-
-1. **lib/proxy.py** - Proxy management logic
-   - `update_proxy()` - Smart update with change detection
-   - `write_compose()` - Generate docker-compose.yml
-   - `write_routers()` - Generate dynamic routing config
-   - `write_config()` - Generate Traefik static config
-
-2. **tpl/proxy/docker-compose.yml.j2** - Compose template
-   - Service definitions for traefik, dockerproxy, dns, crowdsec
-   - Healthcheck patterns
-   - Dependency graph
-
-3. **tpl/proxy/traefik.yml.j2** - Traefik static config template
-   - Entry points (web, web-secure, tcp/udp hostports)
-   - Let's Encrypt configuration
-   - Provider settings (Docker, file)
+**Start here** to understand the V2 system:
 
-4. **tpl/proxy/routers-{http,tcp,udp}.yml.j2** - Dynamic routing templates
-   - Router and service definitions for static routes
-   - Middleware chains
+1. **bin/write_artifacts.py** - Generate upstream configs with Traefik labels
+   - `inject_traefik_labels()` - Injects Traefik labels into services
+   - `write_upstream()` - Generates single project config
+   - `write_upstreams()` - Generates all project configs
 
-5. **README.md** - Project documentation
-   - Sections: "Proxy Stack", "Service Deployment", "Routing"
+2. **lib/data.py** - Project loading and validation
+   - `load_project()` - Loads docker-compose.yml and traefik.yml from projects/
+   - `validate_all()` - Validates all projects
 
-## Key Concepts
+3. **README.md** - Project documentation
+   - V2 Architecture section
 
-### Stateless Services (use docker-rollout)
-- **traefik**: Main reverse proxy
-- **crowdsec**: Security plugin
-- Can scale to 2x instances safely during rollout
-
-### Infrastructure Services (restart normally)
-- **dockerproxy**: Socket proxy (1ms startup)
-- **dns**: DNS honeypot (fast restart)
-- Cannot use rollout (no meaningful state)
-
-### Healthchecks
-- **dockerproxy**: `./healthcheck` binary (requires `-allowhealthcheck` flag)
-- **traefik**: `traefik healthcheck` command
-- All include `/tmp/drain` check for docker-rollout compatibility
+## Key Concepts (V2)
 
 ### Update Flow
 ```
-db.yml change → bin/apply.py → write_proxies() → docker compose up -d → rollout stateless services
+projects/{project}/docker-compose.yml change → itsup apply → write_upstreams() → docker compose up -d
 ```
 
+### Label Injection
+Traefik labels are automatically injected based on the `ingress` section in `projects/{project}/traefik.yml`.
+
 ## Common Tasks
 
-**Regenerate proxy config**:
+**Regenerate upstream configs**:
 ```bash
-python3 bin/write-artifacts.py  # Generates all configs
-docker compose -f proxy/docker-compose.yml config --quiet  # Validate
+python3 bin/write_artifacts.py  # Generates all upstream configs
 ```
 
-**Update proxy with rollout**:
+**Apply changes**:
 ```bash
-bin/apply.py  # Smart update with change detection
-# OR manually:
-dcp up traefik  # Uses update_proxy() from lib/functions.sh
+itsup apply                  # Deploy all projects
+itsup apply <project>        # Deploy single project
 ```
 
 **Debug routing**:
-- Check `proxy/traefik/dynamic/*.yml` for static routes
-- `docker logs proxy-traefik-X` for dynamic label discovery
-- Traefik dashboard: https://traefik.srv.instrukt.ai (if configured)
+- `docker logs <project>-<service>` to see Traefik label discovery
+- Check generated `upstream/{project}/docker-compose.yml` for injected labels
 
 ## Important Constraints
 
-1. **Never modify generated files directly** - Always edit templates or db.yml
-2. **Validate YAML** after template changes with `docker compose config --quiet`
-3. **Only stateless services use docker-rollout** - Check `STATELESS_SERVICES` list in lib/proxy.py
-4. **Hostport services need static routers** - They bypass dynamic label discovery
+1. **Never modify generated files directly** - Always edit source files in `projects/{project}/`
+2. **Validate YAML** after changes with `docker compose config --quiet` in the upstream directory
