What to fix first

The highest-impact improvements for this repo.

  1. 1
    CI/CD
    EngineeringInfo

    Add `tsc --noEmit`, `mypy`, or `cargo check` to catch type errors before they merge.

  2. 2
    Install and run instructions
    DocumentationInfo

    Add a .env.example listing all required environment variables so contributors know what to set up.

  3. 3
    Reproducibility
    EngineeringWarning

    Commit a lockfile (package-lock.json, poetry.lock, uv.lock, etc.) so installs produce the same result everywhere.
