|
||||
| 4 | ~~**MVP scope** — which module to build first?~~ | ✅ **Answered**: Inventory + Scanning → Planning → CRM → Federation |

|
||||
| 6 | ~~**Tech stack** — backend language and framework?~~ | ✅ **Decided: Go** with ConnectRPC |
|
||||
| 7 | ~~**Frontend framework**~~ | ✅ **Decided: React** with @tanstack/router + @tanstack/query + shadcn/ui. Mobile: React Native / Expo (planned, not priority) |
|
||||
| 8 | ~~**Database**~~ | ✅ **Decided: PostgreSQL 15+** |
|
||||
| 9 | ~~**Search engine**~~ | ✅ **Answered**: PostgreSQL full-text search first, dedicated engine (Meilisearch) later if needed |
|
||||
| 10 | ~~**File storage**~~ | ✅ **Answered**: Both — local filesystem + S3-compatible, configurable per deployment |
|
||||
| 11 | ~~**Real-time updates**~~ | ✅ **Answered**: Not from the start. Future nice-to-have via gRPC server-streaming |
|
||||
