## 📞 Getting Help

### For Compilation Issues
- Follow `COMPILATION_FIX_GUIDE.md` step by step
- Check DATABASE_URL is set correctly
- Verify all Option types are handled properly

### For Development Questions
- Read `DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md` for architecture understanding
- Check `PROJECT_OVERVIEW.md` for feature specifications
- Review `IMPLEMENTATION_STATUS.md` for current progress

### Common Problems
1. **Option<User> errors**: Use proper unwrap/expect patterns
1. **Import errors**: Check module structure and imports
1. **JWT errors**: Verify config.yml has proper settings
