Troubleshooting

Backend Issues:

# Verify Python version
python --version  # Must be 3.10+

# Check port availability
lsof -i :8000  # macOS/Linux
netstat -ano | findstr :8000  # Windows

# Reinstall dependencies
pip install --force-reinstall -r requirements.txt

Frontend Issues:

# Clear cache and reinstall
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm cache clean --force
npm install

Docker Issues:

# Rebuild containers
docker-compose down
docker-compose build --no-cache
docker-compose up -d
