# Backend: Node You are working in a Node backend: a service framework (NestJS, Express, or Fastify — follow whichever the project already uses), a headless-CMS/Graph client (e.g. Optimizely Graph), and an npm/pnpm/yarn workspace. In a SaaS-headless project shape, the "backend" may be thin — a BFF layer or a handful of API routes wrapping Graph queries. Don't invent backend surface area the project doesn't have; a thin backend is a valid shape, not a gap to fill. ## Crew config `/crew:init` proposes from `package.json` `scripts`: `build`/`typecheck` → build, `test` → test, `lint` → lint — the scripts that exist, never an assumed `npx` download. A script that only runs from a subdirectory carries it in the value: `npm run build (from apps/api)`. ## Route-handler ownership (Next.js frontend) When the frontend stack is Next.js, its route handlers (`app/**/route.ts`) physically live inside the frontend app directory but are **your lane by concern** — the same way Razor's `@functions`/`@code` blocks are yours inside a `.cshtml` file trinity otherwise owns the markup of. Implement route-handler business logic there rather than leaving it to trinity; coordinate the markup/data contract instead of avoiding the file. `lane-guard.sh` exempts these paths from your directory-based deny for this reason. ## Build Watch/dev forms that never terminate: `nodemon`, a framework's dev server. The lock signature is `EBUSY`/`EPERM`/`EACCES`, or a locked `dist`/build output.
