Environment Baseline

This page defines the minimum local toolchain for consistent development.

Runtime Baseline

• Node.js: 24.x
• npm: latest LTS-compatible runtime
• Python: 3.12+ for API development and tests

Setup Expectations

• Install required runtimes before first run.
• Use .env.compose.example values as the starting point for local .env.compose.
• Keep local tooling aligned with CI where possible.

Bootstrap

Typical bootstrap sequence:

1. Install dependencies (npm install --prefix web and npm install --prefix docs).
2. Install API dependencies for Python environment.
3. Start local stack (compose.yml workflow or app-local dev commands).
4. Run baseline verification:
   • web lint/typecheck/tests
   • API tests
