## Overview

CloudDesk is a browser-based help desk: users register or log in, submit tickets, and track responses and status; administrators review tickets, manage users, reply, and update status. The static frontend calls a Flask REST API, which authenticates requests and reads or writes MySQL. The README documents the three-tier deployment and database initialization; the sampled source confirms frontend API calls and backend route/database behavior. Backend capabilities share one implementation file, so their nodes point to that file rather than implying separate services.

Main entry points: [`clouddesk/frontend/script.js`](https://github.com/victor-lee-123/clouddesk-project/blob/main/clouddesk/frontend/script.js) (Help desk UI), [`clouddesk/backend/app.py`](https://github.com/victor-lee-123/clouddesk-project/blob/main/clouddesk/backend/app.py) (Account auth), [`clouddesk/mysql-init/schema.sql`](https://github.com/victor-lee-123/clouddesk-project/blob/main/clouddesk/mysql-init/schema.sql) (Database schema)
