🔄 User Flow

Phase 2: Wallet Connection Flow

1. User navigates to Profile page (/profile/)
2. User clicks "Connect Wallet" button
3. JavaScript checks for Lace wallet extension
4. If found, calls window.cardano.lace.enable()
5. User approves connection in wallet popup

8. Backend saves address to user profile
9. UI updates to show connected address
10. Button changes to "Wallet Connected ✓"

Phase 3: Transaction Flow

1. User fills out transaction form (recipient, amount)
2. User clicks "Build & Sign Transaction"
3. JavaScript prevents default form submission
4. POST request to /api/build-transaction/ with recipient and amount
5. Backend returns unsigned transaction CBOR
6. JavaScript calls api.signTx(unsignedTxCbor, true)
7. User approves transaction in wallet popup
8. Wallet returns signed transaction CBOR
9. POST request to /api/submit-transaction/ with signed CBOR
10. Backend submits transaction to Cardano Preview Testnet
11. Backend returns transaction hash
