Start where you are
Understand the business
What the platform does and who uses it. No technical background needed — start here
if you run the salon rather than build it.
Run it locally
Install the monorepo and boot every app. Everything builds with zero secrets
configured, so you can be running in minutes.
Go deeper on the build
Architecture, the 38-table data model, and the API reference — how the system is
actually put together.
Ship and operate
The runbook, deployment pipeline, and branch strategy for when it is time to
release or something needs fixing at 2am.
