• Python lives in backend/, services/. After edits run make format and make lint from repo root (see .cursor/commands/lint.md).
• Async: Do not block the event loop. If blocking is required (e.g. sync RPC), use await asyncio.to_thread(blocking_func, ...); see .cursor/rules/fastapi-python-best-practices.md.
• Response models: Use Pydantic/SQLModel response schemas (not raw ORM models). In Pydantic v2 use model_validate(orm_object), not from_orm.
• Full context: .cursor/skills/README.md and .cursor/rules/.
