What does this change?

Following Joe's review suggestion, the sample apps now live in a samples/ directory instead of the repository root. This PR also fixes the inconsistencies found in a review pass over the repo.

Restructure

  • Moved app-client-starter-app to samples/app-client-starter-app. Git tracks it as a rename, so the history is kept.
  • Updated the CI working directory and npm cache path, the Dependabot directory, and the paths and relative links in both READMEs.
  • The app README now says to set the Vercel root directory to samples/app-client-starter-app when deploying from this repo.

Docs and consistency

  • Removed references to docs/architecture.md and docs/production-oauth.md, which don't exist. These were in the README and in code comments.
  • Deleted the app-level LICENSE, which named "Draft Queue contributors". The root MIT license (Buffer) now covers everything.
  • Moved CONTRIBUTING.md to the repository root. It now says we accept pull requests for fixes and improvements, but not new samples for now.
  • Renamed the npm package from buffer-app to app-client-starter-app. "Draft Queue" stays as the product name in the UI.
  • The rate-limit section now describes what the code does: it reads Retry-After on a 429 and retries once if the wait is 5 seconds or less.
  • Removed PORT from .env.example. The app still defaults to 3000.
  • Renamed a misleading test and its fixture value ('do-not-store-me').
  • Added a samples table to the root README, made the heading levels consistent, and cleaned up indentation and whitespace.

Follow-ups not in this PR

  • SECURITY.md doesn't give a way to report a vulnerability yet.
  • Nothing links to public/privacy.html.
  • If the app is deployed on Vercel, its Root Directory setting needs to change to samples/app-client-starter-app.

How was it tested?

  • Ran npm test (10/10 pass) and npm run lint from samples/app-client-starter-app.
  • Checked every relative link in the Markdown files, plus the external Buffer URLs.

Checklist

  • npm test and npm run lint pass for any app I changed
  • No secrets, tokens or .env files are committed
  • README updated if setup or behavior changed

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Move app-client-starter-app under samples/ and update CI, Dependabot and
README paths to match. While here, fix the inconsistencies found in a
review pass:

- Remove references to docs that don't exist
- Drop the app-level LICENSE so the root MIT license covers everything
- Move CONTRIBUTING.md to the root and state what contributions we accept
- Rename the npm package from buffer-app to app-client-starter-app
- Describe the rate-limit handling as it actually works
- Remove PORT from .env.example
- Clarify a misleading test name and fixture
- Add a samples table to the root README and clean up formatting

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added a catalog of sample apps and setup guidance to the main README.
    • Updated the starter app’s setup, rate-limit, and support information.
    • Added contribution guidelines for sample apps.
  • Chores
    • Updated repository automation to work with the starter app in its new location.
  • Tests
    • Updated token-response test wording to cover both access and refresh tokens.

Walkthrough

The repository README now lists the App client starter app under samples/, and root contribution guidance is added. The app documentation updates setup instructions, rate-limit details, and repository links. Dependabot and CI paths now point to the sample directory. The sample package name changes, PORT=3000 is removed from .env.example, and the token-response test checks both returned tokens.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 09c0b

The sample’s rate-limit instructions misdescribe the zero-second edge case. Clarify the behavior; the mismatch is limited to documentation.

- **Handling rate limits:** rate limits apply per app client, so every user of the app shares one quota. When Buffer responds with HTTP 429, the app reads the `Retry-After` header. If the wait is 5 seconds or less, it waits and retries the request once. Otherwise it returns the error to the user with the wait time. See `graphql()` in `lib/buffer.js`.

Clarify the zero-delay rate-limit behavior.

Retry-After: 0 does not trigger a retry, and the error omits the wait-time suffix. Update the README to describe the positive-delay condition and this response behavior.
