 ## Overview
 
 A web interface for MeshCore mesh radio networks. The backend connects to a MeshCore-compatible radio over Serial, TCP, or BLE and exposes REST/WebSocket APIs. The React frontend provides real-time messaging and radio configuration.

 ### Before Completing Changes
 
-**Always run both backend and frontend validation before finishing any changes:**
-
-```bash
-# From project root - run backend tests
-PYTHONPATH=. uv run pytest tests/ -v
-
-# From project root - run frontend tests and build
-cd frontend && npm run test:run && npm run build
-```
-
-This catches:
-- Type mismatches between frontend and backend (e.g., missing fields in TypeScript interfaces)
-- Breaking changes to shared types or API contracts
-- Runtime errors that only surface during compilation
+**Always run `./scripts/all_quality.sh` before finishing any changes.** This runs all linting, formatting, type checking, tests, and builds in parallel, catching type mismatches, breaking changes, and compilation errors.
