Users can view a "Hello, OSDB!" landing page that confirms the backend is reachable via the Vite proxy.
Users can create, view, edit, and delete fruit varieties, including managing synonyms and uploading images.
Administrators can bulk-import the legacy fruit database from XML using scripts/import_fruits.py, and then import all publications (cover images, linked fruits, PDFs, fruit images) using scripts/import_publications.py.
Users can search fruits by name or synonym (case-insensitive, debounced) and filter by type or combined-type alias (e.g. "Birnen- und Quittensorten") from the fruit list.
Users can manage publications (books, catalogues) with cover images, linked fruits, per-fruit PDF descriptions, and fruit images; fruit detail pages show publication descriptions and images.
Maintainers can log in with a username and password to access data-modifying operations; all write API endpoints and admin controls are protected behind JWT authentication.
