The Flask backend architecture is structured around core files like app/main.py and backend/routes.py for API routing, with backend/services.py handling service orchestration and integration points for both demos and core modules.

To add a new API route and service, inspect the backend directory, review app/main.py and backend/routes.py for routing patterns, then define your endpoint and implement the corresponding service logic in ai/services.py.

Running this Flask backend requires Python 3.12 or higher. You need this specific runtime environment to ensure compatibility with the application's architecture, routing, and service orchestration components.

Service orchestration coordinates interactions between the web framework and core logic via services.py. It manages how demos API requests are routed and processed, ensuring modules integrate correctly across the backend.

Yes, the guide explains how the demos API is structured and provides specific steps to extend it. It outlines how to add new /api/demos routes and integrate new services within the Flask application structure.

The best way to onboard a new engineer is to use a unified reference covering the Flask app structure, routing in routes.py, and service orchestration in services.py to provide context for auditing routes and coordinating modules.
