Development

composer install
composer test          # PHPUnit (tests/Unit/)
composer test:smoke    # alias to phpunit via tests/smoke-test.php

Scaffold a new application:

vendor/bin/pure-new-site /path/to/my-app --name="My App"

Generate row classes from SQL:

vendor/bin/pure-generate-classes /path/to/sql /path/to/dbGeneratedClasses.php

Philosophy

Routes map to handler PHP files. Handlers call entity functions and render co-located templates. No container, no ORM.
