- **MongoDB**: Requires `--orm mongoose` or `--orm prisma`
- **Convex**: Incompatible with custom database/ORM/API options
- **PWA**: Requires compatible web frontend
- **Tauri**: Requires compatible web frontend
- **AI Examples**: Not compatible with `--backend elysia` or `--frontend solid`
The CLI will validate compatibility and show helpful error messages for invalid combinations.
