# Project Conventions

## Language
- TypeScript strict mode, no `any` types
- Prefer const over let, never use var
- Use template literals over string concatenation

## Architecture
- Feature-based folder structure under src/features/
- Each feature exports through an index.ts barrel file
- Shared utilities go in src/lib/

## Error Handling
- Use Result<T, E> pattern for expected failures
- Throw only for programmer errors
- Always log errors with structured context

## Testing
- Colocate tests next to source files (*.test.ts)
- Use factories for test data, not fixtures
- Integration tests in __tests__/ directories

# Project Instructions

## Architecture
- Monorepo with apps/ and packages/ directories
- Each app is a standalone Next.js deployment
- Shared packages use TypeScript project references

## Code Standards
- TypeScript strict mode everywhere
- Use Zod for runtime validation at API boundaries
- Prefer server components; use "use client" only when needed
- All database queries go through the data-access layer

## Testing
- Unit tests with Vitest for business logic
- Integration tests for API routes
- E2E tests with Playwright for critical user flows

## Deployment
- Preview deployments on every PR
- Production deploys from main branch only
- Environment variables managed via .env.local (never committed)
