## Overview

#### Purpose and Scope
This is a minimal Django project scaffold named `onion_orbit`. No application packages, domain models, templates, API handlers, or README-described behavior are present, so the repository currently defines project bootstrapping and deployment boundaries rather than product functionality.

#### Process Entry Points
- `manage.py` is the primary developer and operational entry point for Django management commands such as migrations, local server startup, and administrative tasks.
- `onion_orbit/asgi.py` exposes the ASGI application callable for asynchronous-capable application servers.
- `onion_orbit/wsgi.py` exposes the WSGI application callable for conventional synchronous Python web servers.

#### Project Initialization
The `onion_orbit` package is the Django project namespace:
- `onion_orbit/__init__.py` marks the package.
- `onion_orbit/settings.py` is the central runtime configuration boundary: installed apps, middleware, database, security, static assets, and environment-derived settings would be defined here.
- Both server entry modules initialize Django using this settings module.

#### Request Routing Boundary
- `onion_orbit/urls.py` is the root URL configuration and the intended composition point for administrative routes and future application URL modules.
- Incoming HTTP requests reach either `onion_orbit/asgi.py` or `onion_orbit/wsgi.py`, enter Django middleware configured in `onion_orbit/settings.py`, and are dispatched through `onion_orbit/urls.py`.
- There are currently no repository-visible route consumers or application-level request handlers.

#### Runtime and Dependency Boundary
- The project targets Python packaging through `pyproject.toml`.
- Django is the material runtime implied by `manage.py`, `onion_orbit/asgi.py`, and `onion_orbit/wsgi.py`.
- Hosting infrastructure must choose an ASGI or WSGI server and provide runtime configuration expected by `onion_orbit/settings.py`; no external services, databases, queues, or cloud integrations are visible in the supplied tree.

#### Extension Points
Future architecture should introduce Django app packages alongside `onion_orbit/`, each owning domain models, views, routes, and migrations. Root integration should remain concentrated in:
- `onion_orbit/settings.py` for app registration and shared infrastructure.
- `onion_orbit/urls.py` for route composition.
- `manage.py` for lifecycle and operational commands.

Main entry points: [`onion_orbit/settings.py`](https://github.com/neilravi7/onion-orbit-backend/blob/main/onion_orbit/settings.py) (Runtime Settings), [`pyproject.toml`](https://github.com/neilravi7/onion-orbit-backend/blob/main/pyproject.toml) (Python Packaging), [`onion_orbit/urls.py`](https://github.com/neilravi7/onion-orbit-backend/blob/main/onion_orbit/urls.py) (Root URL Config), [`onion_orbit/asgi.py`](https://github.com/neilravi7/onion-orbit-backend/blob/main/onion_orbit/asgi.py) (ASGI Callable)
