Hedgehog Full-Stack App Core ⭐

Every AI coding tool can scaffold an app. Most let the backend rot as it grows: auth logic scattered across routes, contracts drifting from the client, schema changes nobody tested.

This core gives Hedgehog a backend that stays honest as it grows: one opinionated stack, one enforced build order, and a phase gate that blocks the next layer until the current one passes.

• NestJS + Drizzle + PostgreSQL on the backend, Next.js + ShadCN + Tailwind on the frontend, locked in once so every feature reuses the same stack.
• ts-rest contracts so the client can't drift from the API: one shared type definition feeds both sides.
• TanStack Query hooks, generated straight from the contracts.
• A commit gate (lefthook + commitlint) that blocks a broken build from ever reaching your history.

Reach for this core when the project needs authorization beyond per-object rules, background jobs, scheduled work, webhooks, or server-rendered pages. These are the features that turn "add a database" into an ongoing maintenance job.
