# Render Blueprint for MetaCoreX — https://render.com/docs/blueprint-spec
#
# Defines the two services needed to host MetaCoreX entirely on Render:
#   1. metacorex-backend  — the Express API server (Docker, reuses the
#                            repo's existing Dockerfile unchanged).
#   2. metacorex-frontend — the marketing/dashboard frontend (Static Site).
#
# Both services build from this pnpm workspace, not npm: the frontend and
# backend each depend on other workspace packages via the `workspace:*`
# protocol (e.g. @workspace/api-client-react, @workspace/db), which only
# pnpm understands — a plain `npm install` in either artifact's own
# directory cannot resolve those and will fail. The backend also stays a
# Docker service (rather than Render's native Node runtime) because
# contractService.ts resolves the workspace root at runtime as
# `resolve(cwd, "..", "..")` to find contracts/deployed.json and
# contracts/artifacts — the Dockerfile's runtime stage mirrors that exact
# directory depth; see the Dockerfile's own header comment for details.
#
# This is a best-effort Blueprint meant to save you clicks in the Render
# dashboard, not a guarantee that every field maps 1:1 to Render's current
# UI — double-check service settings after import. See docs/deploy-render.md
# for the full walkthrough, required secrets, and known gotchas (in
# particular the VITE_API_URL chicken-and-egg ordering).
