Bootstrap: Fullstack Guidelines (Frontend + Backend + Cross-Layer)

Goal

Fill and align Trellis spec docs for frontend, backend, and cross-layer workflows so future AI sessions can follow project-actual conventions across all layers.

Requirements

• Create and fill frontend guideline docs under .trellis/spec/frontend/ based on repository evidence.
• Keep backend guidelines aligned with current repository conventions and avoid contradiction with previous bootstrap output.
• Update cross-layer thinking/spec docs to include project-specific contracts and integration checks.
• Each filled guideline must include practical rules, 2-3 real file path examples, anti-patterns, and explicitly marked unknowns when evidence is weak.

Acceptance Criteria

• Frontend index and core frontend guideline files exist and are populated with project-grounded conventions.
• Backend guideline index and docs remain consistent after fullstack pass.
• Cross-layer guide(s) include concrete frontend-backend-data contract checkpoints with repository examples.
• No placeholder text (To fill, To be filled) remains in updated spec files.

Technical Notes

• Keep scope limited to docs under .trellis/spec/** and task metadata/context files.
• Do not invent framework conventions without code/config/doc evidence.
• Prefer minimal, reversible edits and keep uncertainties explicit.
