-# React + TypeScript + Vite
+# Tech4Biz Channel Partner Onboarding & Secure Asset Management
 
-This template provides a minimal setup to get React working in Vite with HMR and some Oxlint rules.
+An enterprise-grade, secure, multi-tenant portal designed for onboarding channel partners, managing digital assets, and orchestrating NDA/MSA legal workflows.
 
-Currently, two official plugins are available:
+---
 
-- [@vitejs/plugin-react](https://github.com/vitejs/vite-plugin-react/blob/main/packages/plugin-react) uses [Oxc](https://oxc.rs)
-- [@vitejs/plugin-react-swc](https://github.com/vitejs/vite-plugin-react/blob/main/packages/plugin-react-swc) uses [SWC](https://swc.rs/)
+## 🛠️ Technology Stack
+*   **Frontend**: React (Vite, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Axios)
+*   **Backend**: Node.js (Express, TypeScript, Prisma ORM, JWT, Helmet)
+*   **Databases**: PostgreSQL (Relational metadata storage)
+*   **Object Storage**: MinIO (Private, S3-compatible asset storage container)
 
-## React Compiler
+---
 
-The React Compiler is not enabled on this template because of its impact on dev & build performances. To add it, see [this documentation](https://react.dev/learn/react-compiler/installation).
+## 🚀 Quick Start (Development)
 
-## Expanding the Oxlint configuration
+### Prerequisites
+*   Ensure **Docker** and **Node.js** are installed and running.
+*   The startup scripts automatically detect and terminate any processes occupying backend/frontend ports to prevent crash loops.
 
-If you are developing a production application, we recommend enabling type-aware lint rules by installing `oxlint-tsgolint` and editing `.oxlintrc.json`:
+### Step 1: Start Backend, Database, & Storage
+From the project root:
+```bash
+./run-backend.sh
+```
+This script will:
+1. Spin up the Postgres and MinIO containers.
+2. Generate environment variables.
+3. Align the database schemas via Prisma.
+4. Run database seeders (Admin/Partner mock accounts).
+5. **Automatically seed the MinIO bucket with static documents.**
+6. Free port `5000` (if in use) and launch the backend server.
 
-```json
-{
-  "$schema": "./node_modules/oxlint/configuration_schema.json",
-  "plugins": ["react", "typescript", "oxc"],
-  "options": {
-    "typeAware": true
-  },
-  "rules": {
-    "react/rules-of-hooks": "error",
-    "react/only-export-components": ["warn", { "allowConstantExport": true }]
-  }
-}
+### Step 2: Start Frontend App
+From the project root:
+```bash
+./run-frontend.sh
+```
+This script will resolve dependencies, free port `5173` (if in use), and launch the Vite development server on [http://localhost:5173](http://localhost:5173).
+
+---
+
+## 📂 MinIO Seeding & Data Transfer
+
+### How Asset Seeding Works
+To ensure that digital assets (like product guides and NDA templates) are transferred when cloning the repository:
+1. Standard assets are committed to the **`minio-seed/`** directory in the repository root (not ignored by Git).
+2. During server start (via `./run-backend.sh`), the backend runs the S3 seeder command:
+   ```bash
+   npx ts-node src/seed-minio.ts
+   ```
+3. The script initializes the `secure-assets` bucket in MinIO and uploads any files found in the local `/minio-seed/` folder to the bucket, preserving exact filenames, MIME types, and sizes.
+
+### Manual Seeding / Restore Command
+If you ever reset your MinIO volume and need to re-populate the S3 bucket with the committed repository assets, run the following commands:
+```bash
+cd Channel-Backend
+npx ts-node src/seed-minio.ts
 ```
 
-See the [Oxlint rules documentation](https://oxc.rs/docs/guide/usage/linter/rules) for the full list of rules and categories.
