• Sprint 1: Implement sign-up/login with Spotify OAuth, user schema, GraphQL me query, and profile page
• Sprint 2: Music cataloging (artists, albums, tracks), reviews (with GraphQL), UI for reviews
• Sprint 3: Playlist import via Spotify, token refresh, background jobs, progress UI
• Sprint 4: Feed + Search (activity feed, ElasticSearch integration)
