## 🏃 Quick Start (30 seconds)

### Step 1: Build Frontend
```bash
cd frontend
npm run build
```

### Step 2: Make Yourself Admin
```javascript
// In MongoDB
db.users.updateOne(
  { steamId: "YOUR_STEAM_ID" },
  { $set: { staffLevel: 5 } }
)
```

**OR** add to `.env`:
```
ADMIN_STEAM_IDS=YOUR_STEAM_ID_HERE
```

### Step 3: Restart & Access
```bash
# Restart backend
npm run dev

# Access admin panel
http://localhost:5173/admin
```

---

## 🔍 Troubleshooting (1 minute)

### Can't Access /admin?

**Option A - Database:**
```javascript
db.users.updateOne(
  { steamId: "YOUR_STEAM_ID" },
  { $set: { staffLevel: 5 } }
)
```

**Option B - Environment:**
```bash
# Add to .env
ADMIN_STEAM_IDS=76561198012345678
# Restart server!
```

**Option C - Check Status:**
1. Go to `/admin` (it will redirect if not admin)
2. Check browser console for errors
3. Verify you're logged in (top right should show username)

### Still Not Working?

1. **Open Debug Tab:**
   - Navigate to `/admin` (if possible)
   - Click "Debug" tab
   - Click "Run Tests" button
   - Check which test fails

2. **Quick Checks:**
   ```bash
   # Is backend running?
   curl http://localhost:3000/health
   
   # Is frontend running?
   curl http://localhost:5173
   ```

3. **Nuclear Option:**
   ```bash
   # Clear everything
   cd frontend
   rm -rf node_modules/.vite dist
   npm install
   npm run build
   
   # Restart both servers
   ```

2. Should see admin dashboard (not redirect to home)
3. Click "Debug" tab
4. Click "Run Tests"
5. All tests should be green ✅

### Quick Test (Command Line):

## 💡 Common Mistakes

### ❌ Mistake 1: Forgot to Restart Server
**Fix:** After changing `.env`, ALWAYS restart the backend!
```bash
# Stop server (Ctrl+C)
npm run dev
```

### ❌ Mistake 2: Wrong Staff Level
**Fix:** Must be staffLevel >= 3 (or in ADMIN_STEAM_IDS)
```javascript
// Check your level
db.users.findOne({ steamId: "YOUR_ID" })

// Should see: staffLevel: 5
```

### ❌ Mistake 3: Not Logged In
**Fix:** Log in via Steam first!
```
1. Go to homepage
2. Click "Login with Steam"
3. Authorize
4. Then try /admin
```

### ❌ Mistake 4: Browser Cache
**Fix:** Hard refresh!
```
Windows/Linux: Ctrl + Shift + R
Mac: Cmd + Shift + R
```
