Edge Functions keep privileged credentials server-side and integrate with AI providers, research services, Stripe, and Google APIs.

 [`src/App.tsx`](../src/App.tsx) owns routes and top-level providers. Pages are lazy loaded. Public routes cover marketing, legal pages, login, sources, and shared content. `/app/*` routes pass through `RequireAuth` and include the main tools, the Current Debate dashboard (`/app/debate`), history, library, timer, sparring, flowchart, settings, and administration. The header holds only Home, the Current debate menu, Library, History, and the language, theme, and Settings controls; tools are launched from Home and the dashboard.

 The service worker and manifest provide installable web assets and an offline app shell. It precaches only the navigation shell and static identity assets; route chunks enter the runtime cache when a user visits them. On first registration, the client also reports same-origin `/assets/` resources that loaded before the worker took control so the first visited route works offline without a forced reload. Updates wait for the normal service-worker lifecycle instead of reloading an active page. Offline support does not make unvisited routes, authenticated Supabase, or AI operations available without a network.

-[`capacitor.config.ts`](../capacitor.config.ts) owns the native app identifier, build directory, schemes, and native plugin settings. The iOS app wraps the same Vite output using a relative asset base.

-OAuth still travels through the provider and Supabase HTTPS callback before returning to the app callback scheme. Native URL handling lives in the client startup path.

 ## Deployment boundary
 
 Vercel builds `dist/` with Node 22 and serves it. [`vercel.json`](../vercel.json) owns SPA fallback, cache policy, crawler restrictions, and response security headers. Merging to `main` deploys the frontend to production; Supabase migrations and Edge Functions deploy separately. GitHub workflow files own quality, live-provider, staging, and canary automation.
