## Overview

This is a bilingual (English/French) corporate website with a Payload CMS for editable site content and a Better Auth integration. The main visitor flow is locale selection or redirection, then viewing the home or advisory page; CMS-managed content covers services, navigation, team, and site settings. The tree and excerpts establish the routes and content models, but do not show the page implementations or Payload configuration wiring, so those links are left out.

Main entry points: [`src/proxy.ts`](https://github.com/0xmattthemii/aryes-app-template/blob/main/src/proxy.ts) (Locale proxy), [`payload.config.ts`](https://github.com/0xmattthemii/aryes-app-template/blob/main/payload.config.ts) (Payload configuration), [`src/app/(payload)/api/[...slug]/route.ts`](https://github.com/0xmattthemii/aryes-app-template/blob/main/src/app/(payload)/api/%5B...slug%5D/route.ts) (Payload REST API), [`src/app/(payload)/api/graphql/route.ts`](https://github.com/0xmattthemii/aryes-app-template/blob/main/src/app/(payload)/api/graphql/route.ts) (GraphQL API)
