Development

The UI is a React + Vite app in frontend/; the backend is Flask.

pip install -e .                  # editable backend install
./scripts/build_frontend.sh       # build the UI into the package, then run `uw-course`
npm --prefix frontend run dev     # live UI development (proxies /api to Flask)

The published package and Docker image bundle the compiled UI, so a PyPI install runs with no build step. The release workflow builds the frontend automatically before packaging.
