Cannot create Organization: features step required but unclear (fresh install, no docs / seed data?)

[querywilly]

Issue body

Hi! I’ve just completed a fresh install and I’m trying to create my first Organization, but I’m blocked at the “features” step.

What happens

During Organization creation, a features field/step appears to be required.
However:

Leaving it empty doesn’t work

Filling it with values also doesn’t work (I’m not sure what format/values are expected)

I couldn’t find documentation explaining what features are, where they come from, or how to configure them

Questions

What exactly are Organization features in this project?

Where are they defined/configured (env/config/db/seed/mini-apps, etc.)?

Is there a recommended default value for a local/dev setup (e.g. [])?

Is there any admin guide / documentation for “property/condo management flows” (what goes where, typical setup steps)?

Is there any seed / test data / demo dataset available so we can explore the UI and understand the data model?

Environment

Fresh install on macOS

process.env.FEATURES and process.env.FEATURE_FLAGS are undefined in my setup

Error observed earlier: JSON.parse: unexpected end of data... (looks like something tries to parse an empty/undefined features config)

Any pointers (docs, config location, example values, or seed scripts) would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Hi!

Thanks for the issue..

Organization.features is a JSON field. Condo expects it to be an array, so try filling it with [] and see where this is going :-)

Also, creating an organization through the admin panel might be trickier than intended. Another way is to run yarn dev, head over to localhost:3000, and Condo will guide you through the organization setup.

Hope that helps! Feel free to update me on how it turns out.

after "yarn workspace @app/condo dev" - no service appears on port 3000. Only the standard application on port 4008 works. Why is there no application on port 3000?

[toplenboren]

Port may be configured thorough environment variables.. Please send a full stacktrace starting from yarn workspace @app/condo dev – and we'll be able to help you :-)

It would be nice to add the example to https://github.com/open-condo-software/condo/blob/main/.env.example

My stacktrace after comand: "yarn workspace @app/condo dev"

I didn't set environment variables on purpose.
