Development Workflow

# Install frontend dependencies
cd frontend && npm install

# Start development servers
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up

# Run tests
python run_tests.py --unit

# Format code
black backend/ tests/
npx prettier --write frontend/src/

# Lint code
flake8 backend/
npx eslint frontend/src/

Code Quality

• Black: Python code formatting
• Flake8: Python linting
• ESLint: JavaScript/TypeScript linting
• Prettier: Code formatting
• MyPy: Type checking
• Bandit: Security linting
