 3. Scaffolds the base app via the official tooling (`nuxi init` for Nuxt, `create-vue` for Vue), so the generated boilerplate, dependency versions, and lockfile are always current rather than pinned by Draft
 4. Layers a Draft-maintained overlay on top: an auth store (login/logout/register/token refresh), route guards, API composable, and pages for login/signup/profile/organizations/email verification/invites — all wired up to talk to a Draft-generated API out of the box
 
-Both frameworks produce a comparable app: [`vue-ui-kit`](https://git.fernandovideira.com/FernandoJVideira/vue-ui-kit) (installed from its own Gitea npm registry - see its README for the one-time `.npmrc` token setup) + Tailwind, the same component library and theme tokens on either framework. The generated Nuxt client's Dockerfile mounts that `~/.npmrc` as a build secret (wired up in the monorepo's `docker-compose.yml`), so container builds resolve the package without baking the token into the image.
