+```bash
+# Run full test suite
+npm test
+
+# Watch mode
+npm run test:watch
+
+# Run a single test file
+npx vitest run path/to/file.test.ts

+
+## Architecture Notes
+
+- **Purpose**: Serve a quote of the day via a REST API, rotating through a collection of quotes.
+- **Expected endpoints**: `GET /quote` — returns today's quote (deterministic per calendar day), `GET /quotes` — list all available quotes.
+- **Runtime**: Node.js 22 / Express 5 / TypeScript 5.x (pinned `>=5.0.0 <6.1.0`)
+- **Test framework**: Vitest 4.x
+- **Linter**: ESLint 10 + @typescript-eslint 8
+
+## Code Style
+
+> Update this section once a linter/formatter config is committed (`.eslintrc`, etc.).
+
+- **TypeScript**: `strict: true`, `target: "ES2020"` recommended in `tsconfig.json`
+- **Linting**: ESLint with `@typescript-eslint` rules; `npm run lint` must exit cleanly
+- Follow the conventions of the chosen language's ecosystem formatter (e.g., Prettier for JS/TS).
+- Keep controllers thin; put business logic in service or domain layers.
