utils/pre-commit.ts - Checks that the puzzles have unique, sequential IDs and that each level has unique, sequential indexInLevel attributes across that levels puzzle.
Once a puzzle is added to the DB its ID should NEVER change. But, the architecture allows for the changing of levels or ordering as I learn more about each puzzle's difficulty.
Ideally this script is run automatically by adding it to git/hooks/pre-commit. That will need to call the script like so: node public/utils/pre-commit.js
npm run stats- Logs total number of puzzles, puzzles by level, and number of buttons with each operation across all puzzles.npm run solve- Pass in a filename from the puzzle directory and the script will solve it (up to the number of moves you specify). Can be rerun after changing the files but without needing to reenter information.
npm run build - Builds both the front and backends and puts result in public/
