docs(readme): document a working setup for mac, windows and linux - #242

Conversation
Move the toolchain to pnpm 11 / Node 24 LTS and bring every dependency to latest stable, except six held back to keep this a dependency bump rather than a refactor: typescript, react-day-picker, lucide-react, eslint, @eslint/js and eslint-plugin-react-hooks. - pnpm-workspace.yaml: onlyBuiltDependencies -> allowBuilds (pnpm 11) - tsconfig: drop deprecated baseUrl, make paths tsconfig-relative (TS 6) - vite.config: drop manualChunks, removed by rolldown in Vite 8 - utils: NodeJS.Timeout -> ReturnType<typeof setTimeout> (@types/node 26) - mockServiceWorker.js regenerated by msw's postinstall
The setup steps skipped `pnpm install` and never mentioned `.env`, so following the README from a fresh clone produced an app that rendered but had no data. - add prerequisites with the pinned Node 24.20.0 / pnpm 11.9.0 and Volta setup - add the missing `pnpm install` and `cp .env.sample .env` steps, and document what each environment variable does - lead with `pnpm dev:vite`; `pnpm dev` also starts the HTTPS proxy and run-p kills the Vite server with it when the proxy cannot start - give the hosts file path for Windows alongside macOS/Linux, and note that binding port 443 needs elevation on Linux - add a scripts table and the four commands CI runs - fix the documented URLs: `_internal` is a pathless layout route, so the paths are /admin and /dashboard, not /internal/admin and /internal/dashboard - note that routeTree.gen.ts and mockServiceWorker.js are generated

WalkthroughREADME.md was rewritten as a complete project guide. It now covers prerequisites, setup, environment variables, development modes, scripts, routes, generated files, components, mocks, and public assets. ChangesREADME documentation
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The refreshed setup guide can lead developers to grant excessive privileges to project tooling, while the documented macOS proxy command may fail on port 443. Replace the privileged commands with narrowly scoped forwarding guidance and cover macOS before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Per @MayankBansal12's review on #242: - use pnpm's own standalone installer instead of `npm install -g`, which can clash with other pnpm versions already on the system - stop duplicating the env var list in the README; point at .env.sample as the source of truth instead, since env vars change and a README table will drift from it - name Radix UI as the actual primitive under shadcn/ui, not just shadcn/ui itself Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Per @MayankBansal12's follow-up review on #242: - note that the shipped .env.sample runs standalone with mocks, and link to todo-backend for anyone who wants real data instead - replace the hand-written HTTPS proxy explanation with RDS's shared https-dev-url-cors doc for the why/how-it-works-in-general, keeping only this project's specific steps (hosts file paths, the pnpm dev command, Linux port 443 elevation) rather than re-explaining the same-origin mechanism here too Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

In `@README.md`:
- Line 146: Update the TanStack Router link in the README to use descriptive
text, replacing “here” with “TanStack Router documentation” while preserving the
existing URL.
- Around line 113-114: Update the port-443 privilege guidance in the README to
include macOS alongside Linux, and remove the claim that macOS generally does
not need elevation; alternatively, document a macOS port-forwarding option that
allows the proxy to remain unprivileged.
- Line 170: Update the route-list code fence in README.md to use text as its
opening fence language identifier, while preserving the existing listing
content.
- Line 113: Update the README guidance around the setcap workaround so
CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE is applied only to a proxy-specific wrapper or executable,
not the shared Node binary returned by which node; preserve the existing macOS
and Windows guidance.
- Line 112: Update the README privilege guidance to remove the sudo-based pnpm
dev fallback. Document running the development stack as a normal user with
narrowly scoped port forwarding instead, and do not recommend granting
cap_net_bind_service to the shared node binary.
