Module Overview

Key Features

• Poetry-based project packaging and dependency management.
• Pre-configured quality tooling (black, isort, flake8, pytest, pre-commit).
• PowerShell scripts for local setup, private repository access, and Docker-assisted database provisioning.
• Reusable CI/CD workflows for pull request validation and post-merge release/publish handling.
• Release note and versioning conventions aligned to SemVer.

Project Structure

• src/: Application modules and package source code.
• tests/: Unit and functional test suites with fixtures and test data.
• scripts/: SQL/bootstrap assets.
• legacy/: Archived or excluded legacy resources.
• *.ps1: Setup and automation scripts for environment and toolchain tasks.
