Why this starter exists

• Product marketing, dashboard UI, docs, and release notes should not drift apart
• .contentrain/ stays local, typed, and reviewable in git
• The generated #contentrain SDK keeps framework code simple while preserving a real content schema
• This starter shows Contentrain as product-surface infrastructure, not only as a website CMS
