Employee list maintenance

Local Flask API and Vite React page for maintaining one organization-wide employee list. This foundation runbook covers install and start commands only.

Requires Python 3.14.7 and Node.js 22 LTS.

pip install -r backend/requirements.txt
cd frontend && npm install

On Windows, activate with backend\.venv\Scripts\activate.
