Alex 574f96341e refactor: rename the application package to docsgpt
The backend import package is now docsgpt, the name it will carry on PyPI;
application was far too generic to install into anyone's site-packages.
git mv plus a mechanical rewrite of every import, dotted string and path
reference: 734 Python files, the compose files, Dockerfile, workflows, docs,
setup scripts, devcontainer, k8s manifests, vscode config, pytest and coverage
config, .gitignore. Behaviour is unchanged.

Kept for one release:
- A top-level application package whose meta-path finder resolves
  application.x.y to the already-imported docsgpt.x.y object, so old imports
  and entry points (celery -A application.app.celery,
  uvicorn application.asgi:asgi_app) keep working with a FutureWarning.
- Celery registers every application.* task name as an alias of its
  docsgpt.* task on start-up, so messages queued by the previous release still
  run. The redbeat key prefix moves to redbeat:docsgpt:v2: so schedule entries
  the previous release wrote are left unread instead of firing twice.

The backend image builds from the repository root (docker build -f
docsgpt/Dockerfile .) so it can ship the alias package; a root .dockerignore
allow-lists docsgpt/ and application/ and keeps caches, local data, .env
files, the sample index files and the Dockerfile out. Compose and the image
workflows point at the new context.

# Welcome to DocsGPT Devcontainer
Welcome to the DocsGPT development environment! This guide will help you get started quickly.
## Starting Services
To run DocsGPT, you need to start three main services: Flask (backend), Celery (task queue), and Vite (frontend). Here are the commands to start each service within the devcontainer:
### Vite (Frontend)
```bash
cd frontend
npm run dev -- --host
```
### Backend (ASGI)
Run the full app under uvicorn (serves `/mcp` and the async SSE reconnect
routes, and matches production):
```bash
uvicorn docsgpt.asgi:asgi_app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 7091 --reload
```
`flask --app docsgpt/app.py run --host=0.0.0.0 --port=7091` is faster but
serves only the WSGI Flask app — it omits `/mcp` and the reconnect reader
`GET /api/messages/<id>/events`, so a dropped stream won't auto-resume.
### Celery (Task Queue)
```bash
celery -A docsgpt.app.celery worker -l INFO -Q docsgpt,parsing,embeddings
```
The `parsing` queue serves document parsing (the `read_document` tool / workflow
native-file parse); without it those calls hang `DOCUMENT_PARSE_TIMEOUT` then
error. A dedicated `-Q parsing` worker can be GPU-enabled for heavier parsers.
## Github Codespaces Instructions
### 1. Make Ports Public:
Go to the "Ports" panel in Codespaces (usually located at the bottom of the VS Code window).
For both port 5173 and 7091, right-click on the port and select "Make Public".

### 2. Update VITE_API_HOST:
After making port 7091 public, copy the public URL provided by Codespaces for port 7091.
Open the file frontend/.env.development.
Find the line VITE_API_HOST=http://localhost:7091.
Replace http://localhost:7091 with the public URL you copied from Codespaces.
