We use full TypeScript and ESM with Bun for our codebase. Please include relevant and detailed JSDoc comments for all functions and classes. Use explicit type annotations for all variables and function return values, such as:
```typescript
/**
* Adds two numbers together.
*
* @param {number} a
* @param {number} b
* @returns {number}
*/
const add = (a: number, b: number): number => a + b;
```
We always write TypeScript with double quotes and four spaces for indentation, so when your responses include TypeScript code, please follow those conventions.
Our codebase uses Drizzle as an ORM, which is exposed in the `@versia-server/kit/db` and `@versia-server/kit/tables` packages. This project uses a monorepo structure with Bun as the package manager.
The app has two modes: worker and API. The worker mode is used for background tasks, while the API mode serves HTTP requests. The entry point for the worker is `worker.ts`, and for the API, it is `api.ts`.
Run the typechecker with `bun run typecheck` to ensure that all TypeScript code is type-checked correctly. Run tests with `bun test` to ensure that all tests pass. Run the linter and formatter with `bun lint` to ensure that the code adheres to our style guidelines, and `bun lint --write` to automatically fix minor/formatting issues.
Cover all new functionality with tests, and ensure that all tests pass before submitting your code.

### Conventions
- We always use ESM and the very latest TypeScript/JavaScript features available in Bun.
- We use double quotes for strings and four spaces for indentation.
- We try to use JSDoc comments for all functions and classes, and we use explicit type annotations for all variables and function return values.
### TypeScript
Linting should not be ignored, except if they are false positives, in which case you can use a comment to disable the rule for the line or the file. If you need to disable a rule, please add a comment explaining why.

This project should not need much documentation, but if you think that something needs to be documented, please add it to the README, docs or contribution guide.
## Code structure
This project uses a monorepo structure with Bun as the package manager. Packages are located in the `packages` directory:
- Packages that start with `@versia-server/` are utility packages for the server, such as the database and tables packages.
- Packages that start with `@versia` are published packages that can be used by third-party developers, such as the `@versia/client` package.
### ORM
Our codebase uses Drizzle as an ORM, which is exposed in the `@versia-server/kit/db` and `@versia-server/kit/tables` packages.
### API and worker
The app has two modes: worker and API. The worker mode is used for background tasks, while the API mode serves HTTP requests. The entry point for the worker is `worker.ts`, and for the API, it is `api.ts`.
