📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes automate the build process by adding a prestart npm lifecycle hook in the backend's package.json that runs the build step before starting the server. The README is updated to reflect this, simplifying the startup instructions from two commands to one.

Poem

🐰 A carrot and a hop, the build now flows so fine,
One command starts it all, no more the two-step line,
Prestart whispers "build first," before the server wakes,
The simplest automation, for developers' own sakes! 🚀

Check name	Status	Explanation	Resolution
Title check	❓ Inconclusive	The title 'minor package json update' is vague and generic, using non-descriptive terms that don't convey the meaningful change of adding a prestart hook to automate the build step.	Use a more specific title like 'Add prestart hook to automate build step' or 'Simplify startup process with npm prestart hook' to clearly communicate the main change.
