Research direction
Create QUICKSTART.md in the repository root and add a link from README.md. First check the existing README and CONTRIBUTING.md for setup instructions and documentation style, then verify the commands for Node.js 22+, pnpm, and Docker. Done when the guide includes the requested intro, prerequisites, working commands, next steps, and troubleshooting, with the README link in place.
