  • Per-flag boolean + variant
  • Cache TTL
  • Tests cover
  • Must be secure, tested, and documented
  • Should be efficient and easy to review

Suggested Execution

  1. Fork the repo and create a branch
    git checkout -b feature/feature-flags
  2. Implement changes
    • src/services/featureFlags.ts (new)
    • drizzle/migrations/0014_flags.sql (new)
    • src/routes/admin/flags.ts (new)
  3. Test and commit
    • Run the repo's standard test suite and lint
    • Cover edge cases; include output in the PR

Example commit message
