Production-Ready Django and React Auth Starter

Wires the annoying auth plumbing — JWT with refresh/rotation, email activation, password reset, UUID user model, rate limiting and Swagger out of the box — so you can skip weeks of setup. The frontend is modern (TS + Vite, Tailwind, Radix) and includes route guards, but this is an incremental starter in a crowded space; I'd like to see deployment/CI examples or opinionated infra choices to make it truly turnkey.
