bwnyasse 554dc9f9e3 feat: Initialize monorepo structure and comprehensive documentation
This commit establishes the new monorepo architecture for the KROW Workforce platform.

Key changes include:
- Reorganized project into `frontend-web`, `mobile-apps`, `firebase`, `scripts`, and `secrets` directories.
- Updated `Makefile` to support the new monorepo layout and automate Base44 export integration.
- Fixed `scripts/prepare-export.js` for ES module compatibility and global component import resolution.
- Created and updated `CONTRIBUTING.md` for developer onboarding.
- Restructured, renamed, and translated all `docs/` files for clarity and consistency.
- Implemented an interactive internal launchpad with diagram viewing capabilities.
- Configured base Firebase project files (`firebase.json`, security rules).
- Updated `README.md` to reflect the new project structure and documentation overview.

KROW Project Workflows

This document contains diagrams describing the technical architecture and collaboration processes for the project.

1. Web App Migration Architecture

This diagram illustrates the migration workflow for the web application. It shows how the UI is exported from the Base44 environment and then connected to our new, unified backend built on Firebase services.

graph LR
    subgraph Base44 Environment
        direction TB
        Client[Client] -- Modifies --> B44_UI[<b>Base44 Visual Builder</b><br><i>Features:</i><br>- Event Management<br>- Staff Directory]
        B44_UI --> B44_Backend[<b>Base44 Backend</b><br>Provides Schemas & SDK]
    end

    subgraph Firebase Ecosystem - GCP
        direction TB
        KROW_FE[<b>KROW Web Frontend</b><br>Vite/React + TanStack Query]
        
        subgraph Firebase Services
            direction TB
            Auth[Firebase Authentication]
            DataConnect[<b>Firebase Data Connect</b><br>GraphQL API]
            SQL_DB[<b>Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL</b>]
        end

        KROW_FE -- "Uses" --> Auth
        KROW_FE -- "Calls API via SDK" --> DataConnect
        DataConnect -- "Manages & Queries" --> SQL_DB
    end

    B44_UI -- "<b>UI Code Export</b>" --> KROW_FE

    style B44_UI fill:#ffe,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px
    style KROW_FE fill:#eef,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px

2. Mobile App Architecture

This diagram shows how the native mobile applications (Client and Staff) connect to the centralized Firebase backend. This backend is the same one used by the web application.

        direction LR
        Mobile_Client[<b>Mobile Client App</b><br>Flutter]
        Mobile_Staff[<b>Mobile Staff App</b><br>Flutter]
    end

    subgraph Firebase Backend Services - GCP
        direction TB
        Auth[Firebase Authentication]
        DataConnect[<b>Firebase Data Connect</b><br>GraphQL API &<br>Generated SDKs]
        SQL_DB[<b>Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL</b><br><i>Managed by Data Connect</i>]
    end

    Mobile_Client -- "Authenticates with" --> Auth
    Mobile_Client -- "Calls API via generated SDK" --> DataConnect

    Mobile_Staff -- "Authenticates with" --> Auth
    Mobile_Staff -- "Calls API via generated SDK" --> DataConnect

    DataConnect -- "Manages & Queries" --> SQL_DB

    style Mobile_Staff fill:#eef,stroke:#333,stroke-width:2px

3. Collaboration Workflow for Modifications

This diagram formalizes the process to follow for any modifications initiated by the client on the Base44 platform. The objective is to control the pace of changes and evaluate their impact on our backend before integration.

flowchart TD
    A[Client identifies a need<br>for modification] --> B{Define functionality<br>and scope};
    
    B --> C{Does the modification impact<br>only the UI or also<br>logic/data?};
    
    C -- "UI Only" --> D[Client makes modifications<br>on Base44];
    C -- "Logic/Data" --> E[Team-Client Coordination<br>to assess impact on GCP backend];
    
    D --> F[Planned export of the<br>new UI version];
    E --> F;
    
    F --> G["Developer runs the automation<br>1. `make integrate-export`<br>2. `make prepare-export`"];
    
    G --> H[Development & Testing<br>- Adapt GCP backend if needed<br>- Validate locally];
    
    H --> I[✅ Integration complete];
