+# KITCHEN 484 · Solarpunk Summit
+
+Festival kitchen site: browse the food schedule, place a free pre-order,
+and watch it flip to **READY** the moment the kitchen fires it — with the
+stand to pick it up from.
+
+## What it is
+
+- `index.html` — customer PWA (schedule, cart, pickup codes, live status)
+- `server/server.js` — zero-dependency Node backend: order store, pickup
+  codes (`K484-XXXX`), SSE live status, static hosting
+- `server/staff.html` — staff order board at `/staff` (passcode-gated:
+  mark orders READY / COLLECTED / CANCELLED, filter by stand)
+- `home.html` — K484 association page (separate, untouched)
+
+Payments were removed (Sep 2026): pre-orders are free reservations;
+people pay at the stand. The old BTCPay proxy lives in git history
+(commit `601c85f`) if it's ever needed again.
+
+## Run
+
+```sh
+cd server
+cp .env.example .env   # set STAFF_PASSCODE (openssl rand -hex 4)
+node server.js         # http://localhost:8787
+```
+
+Orders persist to `server/.data/orders.json` (gitignored).
+
+## Test
+
+```sh
+cd server && npm run test:e2e   # 14 checks: order loop, auth, SSE, restart persistence
+```

- * KITCHEN 484 / SOLARPUNK SUMMIT — BTCPay payment backend
- * ------------------------------------------------------------------
- * A tiny Node (no dependencies) proxy that:
- *   - keeps the BTCPay API key SERVER-SIDE (never sent to the browser)
- *   - creates BTCPay invoices (onchain BTC + Lightning bolt11)
- *   - reports status via polling AND Server-Sent Events
- *   - receives BTCPay webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 verified via BTCPay-Sig)
- *   - serves the static site from the parent directory
- *
- * Env (also persisted to .env next to this file):
- *   PORT                 listen port (default 8787)
- *   BTCPAY_URL           e.g. https://btcpay.example.com
- *   BTCPAY_STORE         store id
- *   BTCPAY_API_KEY       store api key (token)
