Split the backend into API host, Domain, Application and Infrastructure projects. Add Swagger/OpenAPI per API version, Asp.Versioning (query/header), ProblemDetails with a global exception handler and SurrealQL migrations applied at startup (namespace/database ensured). Infrastructure owns the SurrealDB client, settings and DI.
Add StorageService backed by SurrealDB using the embedded RocksDB provider that persists to ./data (never in memory). Support an optional remote server via SurrealDb:RemoteUrl for frontend sync. Expose readiness and storage probe endpoints under /api/system and add a helper script to start a local SurrealDB server.
Set the backend version to 0.0.1.
