- Documented local setup, sample requests and known limitations in the project README.
Expense splitter API

Describe a behaviour you implemented
The lending project names reservations, permissions and concurrent updates. Those details are more useful than an endpoint count. Include one failure case you handled, such as two requests trying to reserve the same copy.
Avoid overstating an algorithm
The expense project creates a valid settlement plan and tests rounding and zero balances. It does not claim to produce the fewest possible transfers, which requires more than an ordinary greedy settlement method. Say what your implementation guarantees and what it does not.
Distinguish a project from production ownership
Local containers, a test deployment and a commercial production service are different settings. This example labels projects and supervised internship work separately. Link to a runnable repository only if it is yours and actually available.
