I’d like to work on this issue because a reliable development seeder makes onboarding, testing, and local debugging much smoother. I have experience creating idempotent seed scripts, realistic test data, and clear developer documentation. I’d focus on keeping all changes inside backend/cmmty/, adding the npm seed command, and generating users, documents, risk assessments, and verification records safely so the script can be run multiple times without breaking the database.
