+# Build Debug Log
+
+## Detected Issues
+- No package.json found in repository
+- No index.html found in public directory
+- Project appears to have Next.js structure (app/layout.tsx, app/page.tsx) but no Next.js configuration
+- Missing TypeScript configuration
+- Missing Vite/React setup
+
+## Decisions Made
+- Chose Vite + React over CRA for better performance and modern tooling
+- Converted Next.js app structure to standard React components
+- Used existing layout.tsx and page.tsx as reference for App.tsx structure
+- Added Tailwind CSS with PostCSS configuration
+- Created complete TypeScript setup with strict configuration
+
+## Files Created
+- package.json with Vite, React, TypeScript, Tailwind dependencies
+- vite.config.ts for Vite configuration
+- tsconfig.json with strict TypeScript settings
+- tailwind.config.js for Tailwind CSS
+- postcss.config.js for PostCSS processing
+- index.html as Vite entry point
+- src/main.tsx as React entry point
+- src/App.tsx combining layout and page components
+- src/index.css with Tailwind imports
+- src/vite-env.d.ts for Vite type definitions
+
+## Environment Assumptions
+- Node.js 16+ available
+- npm package manager
+- Modern browser support (ES2020+)
+
+## Expected Build Commands
+- `npm install` - Install dependencies
+- `npm run dev` - Start development server
+- `npm run build` - Build for production
+- `npm run preview` - Preview production build
