How Templates Work

Templates are not standalone projects. They're assembled from three layers:

1. templates/base-web/ — the shared skeleton that all projects start from
2. presets/*.json — curated module bundles (blank, dashboard)
3. modules/*/ — composable capabilities applied on top

The blank preset includes the core modules. The dashboard preset adds dashboard-shell for the enhanced UI.
