| 70 | +4. **Seed demo data** |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +```bash |
| 73 | +# inserts 15 users with 1–3 scores each (values 200–500) |
| 74 | +npm run seed |

| 224 | +## Notes |
| 225 | + |
| 226 | +- Passwords are hashed with `bcryptjs` (10 rounds). |
| 227 | +- Seeding uses Faker’s `person.fullName()` to generate human names. |
| 228 | +- `tsx` provides fast TypeScript execution with watch mode for development. |
