# Architecture
This project uses a layered architecture. See docs/architecture.md.

# Build & Test
Always run `npm test` before committing. Use `npm run build` to type-check.

# Coding Standards
- No `any` types. Use `unknown` if the type is truly unknown.
- All public functions require JSDoc.
- Prefer `const` over `let`. Never use `var`.

# Domain Rules
- Never write to the `users` table without a migration.
- API responses must include `requestId` for tracing.

# My Environment
- Local API: http://localhost:3001
- Test DB: postgres://localhost:5432/myapp_test
- I use pnpm, not npm

# Preferences
- I prefer tabs over spaces (don't enforce on the team)
- Show me git diffs before committing
