julian bfe64032d8 Initial scaffold: Turborepo monorepo + design wiki
Turborepo (pnpm workspaces) with all dependencies pinned to latest
mutually-compatible versions: turbo 2.9, TypeScript 6, Fastify 5,
React 19, Vite 8, better-sqlite3 12 + Drizzle ORM 0.45.

Layout:
- apps/server   Fastify backend (local JWT auth + role guard, /health)
- apps/web      React 19 + Vite 8 operator SPA
- packages/db   Drizzle schema on SQLite/WAL; append-only events + users
- packages/devices  reader/printer/relay adapter interfaces (intent-only relay)
- packages/shared   shared domain types

Architecture constraints from the design wiki are encoded in the scaffold:
append-only hash-chained + signed event log, device-agnostic adapters,
"a barrier is not a door" (relay expresses intent only), fully-local
offline-first auth.

wiki/ is an LLM-maintained Obsidian knowledge base (28 pages) ingested
from the architecture & design notes, with its own maintenance schema.

Verified: pnpm install, full turbo build (5/5), server boots and serves
/health, drizzle-kit generates the initial migration.

# Safety Principle: A Barrier Is Not a Door
A vehicle barrier must **not** be driven as a timed "door open for N ms" by the application — a
timed auto-close can **drop a boom on a vehicle or person**. (See [[parking-system-architecture]]
§5.)
- **Physical safety lives in the barrier operator's own firmware** — induction loops, anti-crush,
auto-reverse. (Recommended barrier operators in the [[bom]] are chosen because they own this.)
- The application and any relay board **only ever express *intent* ("open")**; they never time or
force a close against a vehicle. Reflected in the [[device-adapter-pattern]]'s `pulseOpen`.
- Holds **regardless of which relay device** is used — [[uhppote-controller]] or
[[esp32-custom-controller]]. The ESP32 design restates it: "the ESP32 only signals intent"
(see [[fail-state-safety]]).
