- references/deployment.md - SSR requirements, Git publishing, branch strategies, CI/CD
Loading Files
Consider loading these reference files based on your task:
- references/configuration.md - if installing, configuring auth/git providers, or setting env vars
- references/live-editing.md - if working with content editor, media, components, or AI features
- references/deployment.md - if deploying, configuring branches, or troubleshooting publish flow
DO NOT load all files at once. Load only what's relevant to your current task.
