Practical walk-through for someone landing on the platform without
context: pick a base model, prepare data, run a fine-tune, test the
result. Grounded in what the platform actually does today.
Covers the four main pages (/models, /datasets/upload, /jobs/create,
/jobs/view) and flags current limitations (NFP-52 chat-test gap for
platform-trained models, etc.). Includes an iteration table mapping
common failure modes to fixes, and a "first-week mistakes" list.

Full mariadb-dump (schema + data) from the live develop instance,
post-NFP-18 migration. Includes test data new devs can immediately
poke at instead of staring at an empty dashboard.
Contents:
- 36 tables (full schema)
- 2 users (admin@finetune.ai/admin123, testuser@example.com/test123)
- 5 datasets, 1 job (Support Bot v1, completed), 1 model
- 1 user_billing row, 5 user_settings rows
- 8 email_templates, 3 ACL roles, all migrations table state
Sanitization applied at the end of the dump (POST-LOAD block):
- user.user_pass set to NULL (legacy AES-encrypted passwords;
post-NFP-18 auth uses user_password_hash only)
- user_settings values for keys matching token/key/secret/password/api
set to empty string (devs add their own HF token, etc.)
- user_password_hash for both default users reset to freshly-generated
argon2id hashes that verify against the documented plaintexts
bootstrap-db.sh adds NFP_USE_SNAPSHOT=1 to load this instead of the
clean 3-file path. Both routes arrive at the same credentials.
Verified end-to-end:
- dump loads on a fresh DB (exit 0)
- both default credentials authenticate via password_verify
- all data rows preserved
- no credential-shaped strings in non-comment lines
