+# Improve bry92/vibe-code-forge
+
+> Generated by [BuildOrbit](https://buildorbit.polsia.app) — the autonomous app builder that shows its work.
+
+## About
+
+**Prompt:** Improve bry92/vibe-code-forge
+**Archetype:** INTERACTIVE LIGHT APP
+**Run ID:** `716abee0-8367-46d0-8960-8adcc7e220cd`
+
+## Files
+
+- `server.js`
+- `routes/api.js`
+- `db/pool.js`
+- `migrations/001_schema.js`
+- `package.json`
+- `index.html`
+- `styles.css`
+- `app.js`

+- `db/queries.js`
+
+
+## Run Locally
+
+```bash
+npm install
+npm start
+```
+
+The app starts on port 3000 by default. Set the `DATABASE_URL` environment variable for database-backed features.
+
+## Pipeline
+
+This app was generated through BuildOrbit's 6-phase glass-box pipeline:
+
+1. **Intent Gate** — Classifies intent, locks constraint contract
+2. **Plan** — Deterministic execution plan with task breakdown
+3. **Scaffold** — File structure and dependency manifest
+4. **Code** — Full implementation across all files
+5. **Save** — Artifact persistence with audit hash
+6. **Verify** — Automated quality checks (React wiring, DOM patterns, error handling)
