### Core Configuration
- Laravel 12.50.0 (latest stable)
- API-only architecture (no Blade views)
- MySQL database configured
- Laravel Sanctum installed (v4.3.0)

### Client Management System
**Model:** `App\Models\Client`
- Auto-generates 64-character API keys
- Fields: `name`, `api_key`, `is_active`
- API key hidden from JSON responses

**Migration:** `create_clients_table`
- Unique API key constraint
- Active status tracking
- Timestamps

### API Key Authentication
**Middleware:** `AuthenticateApiKey`
- Alias: `api.key`
- Header: `X-API-Key`
- Validates active clients only
- Returns 401 for invalid/missing keys

### Routes
- `GET /up` - Health check
- `GET /api/health` - API health check (JSON)
- `POST /api/admin/clients` - Create client
- `GET /api/admin/clients` - List clients
- `PATCH /api/admin/clients/{id}/status` - Update client status

## 🚀 Quick Start
```bash
# Database already created!

# Run migrations (if needed)
php artisan migrate

# Start server
php artisan serve
```

## 🗄️ MAMP Database Config
- Host: 127.0.0.1
- Port: 8889
- Database: face_platform
- Username: root
- Password: root

## 🔐 Internal Credentials
**Never expose to clients:**
```env
FACE_ENGINE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000
FACE_ENGINE_API_KEY=your_internal_key
```

## 📝 Usage Example
```php
// Protected route
Route::middleware('api.key')->get('/protected', function (Request $request) {
    $client = $request->get('client');
    return response()->json(['client' => $client->name]);
});
```

## Next Implementation Steps
1. Sanctum authentication setup
2. Client CRUD API endpoints
3. Face recognition integration
