Operating Notes

• Keep real credentials out of the repository. Use local environment files, GitHub repository secrets, or the deployment platform secret manager.
• If a .env.example file exists, treat it as documentation only; never commit filled-in .env files.
• Before publishing screenshots, demos, or client examples, remove private names, internal paths, account IDs, and API endpoints.
• The Repository Hygiene workflow is a lightweight guardrail, not a replacement for product-specific tests.

Delivery Checklist

• README describes the user, business outcome, and operating boundary.
• Setup or preview commands are current and do not rely on private machine state.
• No real secrets, private user data, or machine-local state are tracked.
• Screenshots, demos, or sample outputs are safe to share publicly when the repository is public.
• Product-specific tests or smoke checks are documented before production use.

Roadmap

• Tighten the fastest path from clone to useful demo.
• Add project-specific screenshots, sample outputs, or a short walkthrough where useful.
• Promote repeated manual steps into scripts, tests, or documented workflows.
• Keep security, privacy, and licensing boundaries explicit as the project evolves.

Maintainer Notes

Maintained by Tony Sheng. This README is written as a business-facing handoff: it should help a future collaborator, client, or reviewer understand why the repository exists, how to inspect it, and what must be true before it is reused or shipped.
