How to Use This Index

• New to the project: read project-overview.md and phases-plan.md first.
• Designing features: use frontend/backend architecture docs plus API/security/payment flow specs.
• Expanding docs: add new English *.md files under docs/ and update this index with links.
• Contributing: read CONTRIBUTING.md for commit conventions and PR rules.
