# Contributing

## Local Workflow

1. Install dependencies with `npm install`.
2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`.
3. Run `npm run db:push` for local development databases.
4. Run `npm run typecheck`, `npm run test`, and `npm run build` before opening a pull request.

## Rules

- Keep changes scoped.
- Do not commit generated dependency folders or local environment files.
- Update README and `.codex/project.md` when commands or deployment behavior changes.
