docs(update): update README to reflect .gitea/ CI setup and test image sourcing
Adds the .gitea/ directory to the project structure overview and
corrects the claim that local and CI test environments are identical.
Both are built from the same Dockerfile.test, but locally the image is
built on demand while CI pulls a prebuilt version — see ADR-0002 and
the Technology Architecture doc for details.

# LUNA Charts
LUNA Charts is a reusable, developer-friendly charting library designed to make accessible, WCAG-oriented data visualization the default rather than an afterthought.
> **Project status:** Groundwork phase. Core architecture and tooling are in place; production-ready chart components (starting with `BarChart`) are still in development. See the [Roadmap](./docs/src/content/docs/getting-started/roadmap.mdx) for details.
## Preface & Repository Mirror Notice
Please be aware of our repository structure:
* **Official Repository:** [git.byting-pandas.ninja/Ninosaurier/LUNA-Charts](https://git.byting-pandas.ninja/Ninosaurier/LUNA-Charts)
**Important:** All development, including issue tracking and contribution management, takes place exclusively on our self-hosted server. Issues and pull requests cannot be created or processed on this GitHub mirror. Please visit the original link above to report bugs or request features.
## Why LUNA Charts
Most charting libraries treat accessibility as an add-on. LUNA Charts builds it in from the start:
* **Accessible by default** — components are designed and tested against WCAG guidance from day one, not patched in afterward
* **Framework-agnostic** — built as standard Web Components (Stencil), usable in React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, or plain HTML
* **SVG-based rendering** — inspectable, stylable, and screen-reader-friendly output instead of an opaque canvas
## Tech Stack
| Area | Technology |
| --- | --- |
| Component framework | [Stencil](https://stenciljs.com) (compiles to standard Web Components) |
| Language | TypeScript |
| Package manager | pnpm (monorepo workspaces) |
| Unit & component testing | [Vitest](https://vitest.dev), with [Playwright](https://playwright.dev) as the browser provider |
| Accessibility testing | axe-core |
| Documentation | [Starlight](https://starlight.astro.build) |
| Component explorer | Storybook |
| Linting & formatting | ESLint, Prettier |
| Release management | [Changesets](https://github.com/changesets/changesets) |
The full set of architecture decisions behind these choices is documented in [`docs/.../architecture/adr`](./docs/src/content/docs/architecture/adr) and the broader [Architecture Development Method (ADM) documentation](./docs/src/content/docs/architecture/adm).

## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
* Node.js `>= 22.0.0`
* pnpm `11.11.0` (see `devEngines` in `package.json`; pnpm will be downloaded automatically via Corepack if missing)
* Docker (required for running component/browser tests locally, see below)
### Installation
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Ninosaurier/LUNA-Charts.git
cd luna-charts
pnpm install
```
or
```bash
git clone https://git.byting-pandas.ninja/Ninosaurier/LUNA-Charts.git
cd luna-charts
pnpm install
```
### Common commands
| Command | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `pnpm test:unit` | Run unit tests for the `luna-charts` package |
| `pnpm test:component` | Run component/browser tests inside the containerized Playwright environment |
| `pnpm test` | Run the full test suite (unit + component) |
| `pnpm changeset` | Record a changeset for your change (required for any user-facing change) |
| `pnpm run docs` | Start the documentation site locally (astroJS) |
| `pnpm run lint` | Run the linter to check for code style and quality issues |
| `pnpm run format` | Run the formatter to automatically fix code style issues |
| `pnpm run test:browser` | Run browser tests (only works inside the `packages/luna-charts` directory) |
### Storybook
Storybook currently needs to be started from within the library package directly:
```bash
cd packages/luna-charts
pnpm run storybook
```
> **Note:** Running Storybook from the repository root isn't set up yet. This is a known gap — contributions to add a root-level `pnpm --filter` script are welcome.
Component and browser tests run inside Docker (`docker-compose.test.yaml`), based on the same `Dockerfile.test` used to build the image CI tests against, to guarantee a reproducible browser environment — you don't need Playwright browsers installed locally. Locally this image is built on demand; in CI a prebuilt version of the same image is pulled directly (see [ADR-0002](./docs/src/content/docs/architecture/adr/000200-technology-stack.mdx) and the [Technology Architecture](./docs/src/content/docs/architecture/adm/technology-architecture.mdx#66-test-execution-environment) doc for details).
