## Description

Keystone Classic is a Node.js headless content management system and web application framework. It provides a database schema framework for defining structured data models and validation rules to organize information.

The system automatically generates a responsive administrative dashboard based on predefined data models and database fields, allowing for content management and record editing without custom administration code.

The framework covers identity and security through session state management and password encryption. It includes capabilities for request routing, form submission processing, and an integrated email template engine for dispatching formatted messages via delivery services.
