A storefront reference build focused on the two things that decide commerce revenue — how fast the page paints and how few steps stand between cart and payment.
Commerce sites lose money in two places: the first paint on a product page, and every additional step in the checkout. This build is our reference answer to both. Product and category pages are statically generated and revalidated on stock or price change, so the common path never waits on a database. The cart lives in a server-authoritative session — the price is recalculated at checkout rather than trusted from the client, which closes the tampering hole most cart implementations leave open. Checkout is a single page with inline validation and no forced account creation. Search is a real index rather than a SQL LIKE, with typo tolerance and faceting on attributes the merchandiser controls without a deploy. The whole storefront is instrumented for Core Web Vitals from the first commit, because a performance budget added afterwards is a rewrite.
