Transform CMS from a thin wrapper into a fully self-contained module with
all code living within app/modules/cms/:
Module Structure:
- models/: ContentPage model (canonical location with dynamic discovery)
- schemas/: Pydantic schemas for API validation
- services/: ContentPageService business logic
- exceptions/: Module-specific exceptions
- routes/api/: REST API endpoints (admin, vendor, shop)
- routes/pages/: HTML page routes (admin, vendor)
- templates/cms/: Jinja2 templates (namespaced)
- static/: JavaScript files (admin/vendor)
- locales/: i18n translations (en, fr, de, lb)
Key Changes:
- Move ContentPage model to module with dynamic model discovery
- Create Pydantic schemas package for request/response validation
- Extract API routes from app/api/v1/*/ to module
- Extract page routes from admin_pages.py/vendor_pages.py to module
- Move static JS files to module with dedicated mount point
- Update templates to use cms_static for module assets
- Add module static file mounting in main.py
- Delete old scattered files (no shims - hard errors on old imports)
This establishes the pattern for migrating other modules to be
fully autonomous and independently deployable.

Phase 1 - Foundation:
- Add app/modules/contracts/ with Protocol definitions for cross-module
communication (ServiceProtocol, ContentServiceProtocol, MediaServiceProtocol)
- Enhance app/modules/base.py ModuleDefinition with self-contained module
support (is_self_contained, services_path, models_path, etc.)
- Update app/templates_config.py with multi-directory template loading
using Jinja2 ChoiceLoader for module templates
Phase 2 - CMS Pilot Module:
- Migrate CMS service to app/modules/cms/services/content_page_service.py
- Create app/modules/cms/exceptions.py with CMS-specific exceptions
- Configure app/modules/cms/models/ to re-export ContentPage from canonical
location (models.database) to avoid circular imports
- Update cms_module definition with is_self_contained=True and paths
- Add backwards compatibility shims with deprecation warnings:
- app/services/content_page_service.py -> app.modules.cms.services
- app/exceptions/content_page.py -> app.modules.cms.exceptions
Note: SQLAlchemy models remain in models/database/ as the canonical location
to avoid circular imports at startup time. Module model packages re-export
from the canonical location.
