Setup Steps

1. Clone the repo and run npm install
2. Create a .env.local file with:
   • NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=<your_supabase_url>
   • NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=<your_anon_key>
3. In Supabase SQL Editor, run the schema migrations for: documents, entities, relationships, timeline_events tables
4. Create a Supabase Storage bucket named documents
5. Run npm run dev → open http://localhost:3000

Test Credentials

• Sign up with any valid email via the /login page
• No pre-seeded test account required — Supabase Auth handles registration

Design Decisions

• Next.js 14 App Router used for layout nesting and server components
• Supabase chosen as full BaaS (Auth + PostgreSQL + Storage) to avoid separate backend
• ReactFlow powers the knowledge graph (entities & relationships)
• Row Level Security (RLS) enforced on all tables — users only see their own data
• Framer Motion used for page transitions and micro-animations
• Optional FastAPI Python backend available for heavier AI processing (OpenAI integration)

Known Limitations

• AI processing is simulated on the frontend if no Edge Function is deployed
• Storage bucket must be manually created in Supabase dashboard
