- Architecture (10 min): entry points, layers, patterns (MVC, Clean, Hexagonal)
- Data flows (10 min): trace a complete flow, identify dependencies

IMPORTANT: Start with the README and config files before diving into the code.
YOU MUST understand the architecture before modifying code.
NEVER modify code without having understood the context.
Think hard about the overall architecture before diving into the details.
