The server listens on http://localhost:8080 (override with `PORT`). Templates, static assets, and sample data are read from disk on every request — edit a file and refresh the browser; no restart needed.
## Local data
The server reads local data from `sampledata/`, mirroring the production Sheets layout: one directory per app, one CSV file per table, first row is the schema. It goes through the same data-source interface production backends implement, so app code never knows which backend it is talking to.
switches the directory app to the Google Sheets source. At startup the directory tables are read from the spreadsheet and normalized into the in-memory data model (see `docs/data.md`); the server refuses to start if that load fails, and the model reloads every five minutes. Requires a service account key in `creds/` (any `*.json`; the directory is gitignored) with the Sheets API enabled and the spreadsheet shared read-only with the service account. Real data never leaves the process: nothing is written to disk.
