Panda — horticulture farming OS for Kenyan smallholders, sister product to Shira. Laravel 11 + React PWA + Astro. # Panda A horticulture-first farming OS for Kenyan smallholders. Adapted from the JAICA FarmTrack specification, inspired by JICA SHEP PLUS methodology ("grow to sell" — market-led farming decisions). **Standalone product** — sister to Shira (livestock farm management) but architecturally separate: own auth, own users, own data, own deploy. Not a Shira module. ## What it does A farmer enters a crop, acreage, planting date, and irrigation type. Panda generates the full season blueprint: activity timeline (nursery → transplant → growth → harvest), acreage-scaled input list (seed, fertilizer, chemicals, labour), cost budget, market price forecast, off-season opportunity prompts, AI disease detection from a phone photo, and the nearest agro-dealer stocking the recommended inputs. ## Status **P1 ready to start.** Pre-build governance complete (combined score 7.05/10, clears the 6.5 gate). All 14 Laravel skill files exist in `~/Desktop/uwc-web-co/00-skills/app-build/laravel/`. UWC pipeline is the build vehicle from here on.

Decision 2026-05-07 to separate: - Different stage of progress (Shira is live; Panda is at P1) - Different positioning (livestock vs horticulture; d …
