Basic Flask backend with a Vite + React frontend.

1. Create/activate a virtualenv (if you don't already have one): python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
2. Install deps: pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Run API: cd backend && python -m flask --app wsgi --debug run --host 0.0.0.0 --port 5000

Backend layout (app factory + blueprints):

backend/
  app/
    __init__.py        # create_app, register blueprints
    config.py          # Dev/Prod configs
    routes/
      core.py          # health check, misc
      products.py      # product APIs (mock data)
      dashboard.py     # dashboard summary metrics
  wsgi.py              # entrypoint for flask run / WSGI servers
  app.py               # wrapper for create_app (for direct python app.py)

1. Install deps: cd frontend && npm install

• From repo root: ./run.sh
  • Starts Flask (uses .venv if present) and Vite dev server. Ctrl+C stops both.
