## 🔥 What Was Fixed (The npm Error)

### The Error
```
npm ERR! code EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL
npm ERR! Unsupported URL Type "link:": link:@/components/ui/badge
```

### The Root Cause
`package.json` had local development dependencies that only work in monorepo/development:
```json
❌ "badge": "link:@/components/ui/badge",
❌ "button": "link:@/components/ui/button",
❌ "card": "link:@/components/ui/card",
❌ "progress": "link:@/components/ui/progress",
❌ "separator": "link:@/components/ui/separator"
```

### The Fix Applied
Removed all `link:` dependencies from `frontend/package.json`.
These are internal component references only needed during development.

## 🚀 Ready to Publish
