Specific Issues & Inconsistencies

Content Issues

TECHNICAL_ARCHITECTURE.md Line ~150-200: Shows SQL CREATE TABLE statements instead of referencing actual Prisma schema
README.md Line 30: References "Hello World" content - unclear what this means
PROGRESS.md: References design docs from Nov 30, 2025 but unclear which are completed vs planning
Component READMEs: Inconsistent structure - some use "Purpose", others "Overview"
API Route READMEs: Varying levels of detail and examples

Missing Cross-References

Root README doesn't link to detailed feature documentation
API docs don't reference implementation files
Component docs don't link to usage examples in pages
No central documentation index/table of contents

Format Inconsistencies

Inconsistent heading hierarchy across READMEs
Some docs have "Dependencies" sections, others don't
Code examples vary in quality and completeness
Inconsistent use of badges, status indicators, and metadata
