+`simple_module_settings` is also installed as a baseline dependency of every scaffolded host (regardless of preset), so the Settings admin UI is available even in `minimal`. Dependencies between modules are resolved automatically — e.g. `users` always pulls in `auth`.
 
 After scaffolding, `smpy new` runs `uv sync`, `npm install`, and `alembic upgrade head` for you (skip with `--no-install` if you'd rather drive that yourself).
