Plan: Convert brianhelton.com Figma Export to Laravel 12 + React Site

Context

Brian Helton's portfolio site exists as a Figma-exported React SPA in brianHeltonDotCom/. It has 3 pages (Home, Bio, Portfolio) with the Portfolio gated by a password — but the protection is entirely client-side (hardcoded password in JS, images publicly accessible). We need to turn this into a production site backed by Laravel 12 so the portfolio content is truly protected server-side. Then commit and push to git@github.com:collegeman/brianhelton.com.git.

Architecture

Laravel serves the React SPA + provides API routes for portfolio auth:

Plan: Reverse-Engineer PRD from Existing Codebase

Context

The LAX Training Hub codebase was rewritten from a previous stack into Laravel 12 + React/Inertia. Before building new features (using Ralph), we need a comprehensive PRD that documents everything the app currently does so we can review it for completeness, identify gaps, and establish a baseline.

This PRD will be saved to tasks/prd-existing-platform.md — it's a review document, not a build plan. All user stories will reflect implemented functionality.
