   • npm run dev

Option 2: Docker local build/run

Google OAuth Notes

Configure entries in Google Cloud Console:

• Authorized JavaScript origins:
  • http://localhost:5173
  • your production frontend origin
• Authorized redirect URIs:
  • http://localhost:3000/api/auth/google/callback
  • your production callback URL

These must match FE_BASE_URL and GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI used by the running backend.
