Deployment Configuration

To make the app work on the public internet (Vercel + Render), you must link them.

1. Backend (Render)

Deploy the backend folder to Render as a Web Service.

• Build Command: sh render_build.sh
• Start Command: uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port $PORT

2. Frontend (Vercel)

Deploy the frontend folder to Vercel. Crucial: You must add the following Environment Variables in your Vercel Project Settings so the frontend knows where the backend is.

Variable Name	Value Example	Note
VITE_API_URL	https://your-app-name.onrender.com	No trailing slash
VITE_WS_URL	wss://your-app-name.onrender.com/ws/style	Must be wss:// for secure SSL

After adding these, Redeploy your Vercel project.
