[Backend] backend/prisma.config.ts is not referenced in any onboarding doc, so new contributors don't know it exists or why it's separate from schema.prisma

Why this matters

backend/prisma.config.ts configures the Prisma CLI (e.g. seed command, schema path) separately from backend/prisma/schema.prisma. Newer Prisma versions moved some config here, but nothing in backend/README.md or docs/DEVELOPMENT.md mentions this file, so a contributor debugging a prisma generate/migrate quirk has no pointer to check it.

Acceptance criteria

• Add a short section to backend/README.md explaining what prisma.config.ts controls and why it exists alongside schema.prisma
• Link it from docs/DEVELOPMENT.md's database setup section

Files to touch

• backend/README.md
• docs/DEVELOPMENT.md

Out of scope

• Changing the Prisma config itself
• Migrating to a different config format
