-### Orchestration
+### Orchestration (Unified Stack)
 ```bash
-docker compose up -d           # Start all services
+docker compose up -d --build   # Build and start all services (Autonomous SvelteKit build)
 docker compose down            # Stop all services
-docker compose restart ae_api  # Restart specific service
+docker compose restart ae_app  # Restart the SvelteKit UI
+docker compose restart ae_api  # Restart the FastAPI Backend
 ```
 
-### Branch Management
+### Deployment Workflow
+The SvelteKit application is built **inside** the container. You can control the build mode (which bakes in the correct `PUBLIC_` variables) via the `.env` file:
+- Set `AE_APP_BUILD_MODE=staging` for development/testing.
+- Set `AE_APP_BUILD_MODE=prod` for production.
+
+Then run:
 ```bash
-git pull --all
-git switch development
-docker compose up -d --build
+docker compose up -d --build ae_app
 ```

 ## 🗄️ Database Management (Physical Backups)
+... (rest of the file remains the same) ...
 
 The system uses physical hot backups via `mariabackup` for maximum speed and data integrity.
