 The API is deployed to Render via the [`render.yaml`](./render.yaml) Blueprint (Render → New → Blueprint → select repo). It builds `apps/api/Dockerfile`, auto-deploys on `master`, and health-checks `/api/health`. All secrets are declared `sync: false` — set their values in the Render dashboard (Environment tab), never in the file.

+1. **Import the repo** (Vercel → Add New → Project). Set the **Root Directory** to `apps/web`; Vercel auto-detects Next.js and Turborepo and builds the app — leave the Build, Output, and Install commands on their defaults (no overrides).
 2. **Set the env vars** from [`apps/web/.env.example`](./apps/web/.env.example) in the dashboard (Project → Settings → Environment Variables), with production values: point `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL` at the deployed Render API, set `NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_ORIGIN` and `NEXTAUTH_URL` to the deployed web origin (`NEXTAUTH_URL` keeps the `/FinTrack` basePath: `<web-origin>/FinTrack/api/auth`).
 3. **Align the API side**: add the deployed web origin to `CORS_ORIGINS` and set `FRONTEND_URL` in the Render dashboard, or browser requests and OAuth redirects break.
