- **Authentication**: SSO via OIDC, local users, and optional RBAC (Enterprise)

## Tech Stack

- **Base**: own OS layer built from scratch using [Wolfi packages](https://github.com/wolfi-dev/os) via apko. Every package is explicitly declared in the Dockerfile.
- **Frontend**: SvelteKit 2, Svelte 5, shadcn-svelte, TailwindCSS
- **Backend**: Bun runtime with SvelteKit API routes
