Local Setup

1. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Apply the SQL migrations in supabase/migrations to the configured Supabase project.

4. Start the development server:

   npm run dev

5. Open http://localhost:3000.

Verification

Run the complete local verification set before opening or merging a pull request:

npm run typecheck
npm test
npm run build

Deployment

The application is deployed as a Next.js server. NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL and NEXT_PUBLIC_ADMIN_URL are required in production. The public origin controls SEO, OAuth metadata, MCP discovery, public publishing links, the sitemap, RSS, and llms.txt; the admin origin controls login, recovery, protected previews, and console links. Production must use:

NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL=https://www.innovationshospitalitysearch.com
NEXT_PUBLIC_ADMIN_URL=https://admin.innovationshospitalitysearch.com

Follow the custom-domain migration runbook before enabling redirects from the Railway-generated hostname.

Do not expose SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY, RESEND_API_KEY, or RESEND_WEBHOOK_SECRET through NEXT_PUBLIC_ environment variables.
