## ⚡️ Quick Start

```bash
pnpm install
pnpm setup     # pick a provider, paste a key → writes apps/server/.env
pnpm dev       # web on :5173, api on :3000
```

No key at setup? Skip it and paste one later in the app's **Settings** (top-right) — it stays in your browser only.

## 🚀 Docker

The whole app ships as **one image** (server serves the web bundle + API):

```bash
docker run -p 3000:3000 -e OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... ghcr.io/xianjianlf2/mindgeniusai
