1. Environment variables

• Add a .env file at the root directory using .env.example as guide

2. Install dependencies

npm install

3. Run. Will solve the map

npm start

There are some handy scripts to

1. Clear: fills the whole current map with space objects

npm run clear

2. Validate: validates the current map against the goal map and informs of any missing objects to reach the goal

npm run validate

3. Solve: solves the goal map by validating and inserting any missing objects

npm run solve

npm test

Currently only map and goal map parsing is tested for the happy path

• Both the current and goal map are parsed and normalized into an array of "astral" objects.
  • A consistent domain model accross all interfaces
  • Easier handling than ad-hoc object matrix without losing information (ie: x,y position)
• The api client uses retry and exponential backoff for errors and rate limiting
• The astral service uses a concurrency pool when batch creating/removing objects

• Better object validation and fail fast when parsing. Probably use zod schemas for validation and type inference
• e2e tests
