📂 Architecture

The system follows a clean separation of concerns:

1. API Layer: REST Controllers handling HTTP requests and redirections.
2. Service Layer: Business logic and encoding algorithms.
3. Data Layer: PostgreSQL persistence with optimized JPA queries.
4. Client Layer: Reactive UI with state management and context-aware translations.
