## Development Setup

environment setup:

```bash

```

## Verification

Run the strongest relevant checks before opening a PR:

```bash
npm run build\nnpm test
```

## Pull Request Guidelines

- Explain the bug or workflow the PR fixes.
- Include a minimal reproduction for bug fixes when possible.
- Add or update tests when behavior changes.
- Update README or docs when public API, config, install steps, or behavior changes.
- Keep secrets, API keys, tokens, cookies, private URLs, and customer data out of issues, logs, tests, and commits.
