Local Development

This setup is intended for day-to-day backend and frontend work.

Backend

Build and test the backend from the repository root:

dotnet build PatchHound.slnx
dotnet test PatchHound.slnx -v minimal

Run the API and worker in separate terminals:

dotnet run --project src/PatchHound.Api
dotnet run --project src/PatchHound.Worker

Start the frontend from frontend/:

npm install
npm run lint
npm run typecheck
npm test
npm run dev

Keep .env out of version control.
Use Docker when you need the full dependency stack locally.
Update tests with any behavior change that affects API contracts, persistence, or UI flows.
