### Technical Details

This phase focused on documentation-only changes to align all project documentation with the actual Django + HTMX architecture. No code changes were made.

**Key Corrections:**
- The project uses Django templates with HTMX for interactivity, not a Vue.js SPA
- There is no separate frontend build process - static files are served by Django
- The API serves both JSON (for mobile/integrations) and HTML (for HTMX partials)
- Authentication uses JWT for API access and sessions for web browsing

## Version Pinning Strategy

This project uses the following version pinning strategy:

| Package Type | Format | Example |
|-------------|--------|---------|
| Security-critical | `>=X.Y.Z` | `django>=5.2.8` |
| Stable packages | `>=X.Y` | `django-cors-headers>=4.6` |
| Rapidly evolving | `>=X.Y,<X+1` | `sentry-sdk>=2.20.0,<3` |
| Breaking changes | `>=X.Y.Z,<X.Z` | `Pillow>=10.4.0,<11.2` |

## Migration Guide

### For Developers

1. Update Python to 3.13+
2. Install UV: `curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh`

4. Run tests: `uv run manage.py test`

### Breaking Changes
