# FAQ

## Why does this starter use custom frontend lint/format scripts instead of heavy npm dependencies?

The kickoff scaffold is intentionally lightweight and keeps only strictly relevant tooling:

- API client generation from the OpenAPI contract
- basic frontend syntax/contract checks
- deterministic formatting checks used by `scripts/ci-local.ps1`

This keeps the first commit small while preserving CI discipline. Additional tooling can be introduced when the frontend stack is finalized.
