julian bfe64032d8 Initial scaffold: Turborepo monorepo + design wiki
Turborepo (pnpm workspaces) with all dependencies pinned to latest
mutually-compatible versions: turbo 2.9, TypeScript 6, Fastify 5,
React 19, Vite 8, better-sqlite3 12 + Drizzle ORM 0.45.

Layout:
- apps/server   Fastify backend (local JWT auth + role guard, /health)
- apps/web      React 19 + Vite 8 operator SPA
- packages/db   Drizzle schema on SQLite/WAL; append-only events + users
- packages/devices  reader/printer/relay adapter interfaces (intent-only relay)
- packages/shared   shared domain types

Architecture constraints from the design wiki are encoded in the scaffold:
append-only hash-chained + signed event log, device-agnostic adapters,
"a barrier is not a door" (relay expresses intent only), fully-local
offline-first auth.

wiki/ is an LLM-maintained Obsidian knowledge base (28 pages) ingested
from the architecture & design notes, with its own maintenance schema.

Verified: pnpm install, full turbo build (5/5), server boots and serves
/health, drizzle-kit generates the initial migration.

# Reconciliation
**The real anti-fraud control.** Comparing local records against **an authority the operator
cannot alter**. This is what remote sync *really is* — a fraud-control mechanism, not just a
backup. (See [[parking-system-architecture]] §3.)
## Reconciliation when offline
[[offline-first]] does not mean no reconciliation — it means **deferred, intermittent**: a
manager visiting weekly with a USB stick, a phone hotspot once a day, a monthly export. Any of
these provides a path to compare local records against something outside the operator's reach.
## If it truly is "never, by anyone"
Only design for that if it's genuinely true. The network-free fallback controls are:
- the signed, hash-chained log ([[append-only-event-chain]]),
- physically **pre-numbered ticket stock**,
- **end-of-shift signed Z-reports**,
- **CCTV/LPR footage** as an independent record (see [[lpr-camera]]).
Establishing *some* periodic reconciliation channel is [[open-questions]] #4.
