+# tinder bot (workspace stub)
+
+Only **`.cursor/`** rules reside here — no runnable bot yet.
+
+Treat this folder as scaffolding for Cursor automation/rules before you scaffold real services (likely Playwright or mobile emulation).
+
+When code lands:
+
+- Respect **Terms of Service** / anti-automation statutes.
+- Store credentials and session JWTs strictly in **`/.env`** + secret manager; keep them gitignored alongside device fingerprints.
