App Architecture

The frontend follows a layered architecture: entry point and routing at the top, pages and components in the middle, with hooks, services, and state management at the foundation.

App.jsx + Routes.jsx Entry point, routing

Pages Route-level views

Auth Pattern Always use getToken() from utils/helpers.js for JWT tokens. Never import from useAuthContext() directly -- the helper provides consistent token retrieval across all API services.
