+# Phase 001: Project Baseline And Testing Setup
+
+## Goal
+Establish a stable Rails/RSpec foundation before adding application behavior.
+
+## Work
+- Confirm `rspec-rails` is installed and usable.
+- Ensure `bin/rails spec` or the project-preferred test command works.
+- Add initial request/system/model spec patterns for future phases.
+- Decide whether the app should use Rails fixtures or FactoryBot; prefer FactoryBot because it is already in the Gemfile.
+- Add a simple root page placeholder so the app has a visible landing point.
+
+## Deliverables
+- Working test suite.
+- Root route and minimal home page.
+- Documented test command.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- Test suite passes.
+- Root path returns success.
+- No application models are added without corresponding specs.
