## Overview

This is a desktop journal-entry application for creating and managing organizational accounting records. The principal workflow is to authenticate or set up an organization, then create, edit, search, and view journal entries with accounting lines and supporting documents. The renderer communicates with Electron through an IPC bridge; Electron initializes a local SQLite database and registers domain handlers. The tree indicates additional account, organization, and audit-log capabilities. Source excerpts were limited, so links between unsampled handlers and repositories are omitted where their calls cannot be verified.

Main entry points: [`electron/main.ts`](https://github.com/simplyajay/journal-entry/blob/main/electron/main.ts) (Electron main), [`renderer/src/App.tsx`](https://github.com/simplyajay/journal-entry/blob/main/renderer/src/App.tsx) (App routes), [`electron/preload.ts`](https://github.com/simplyajay/journal-entry/blob/main/electron/preload.ts) (Preload bridge), [`renderer/src/features/login`](https://github.com/simplyajay/journal-entry/tree/main/renderer/src/features/login) (Login and setup)
