Split docs/agents/action/iteration.md into role.md, playwright.md, workflow.md, and a scope-focused README. Move Certificate Authority and Inspect rules into role.md. Rewrite playwright.md as a machine- oriented state machine with explicit preconditions, procedure, exit gates, and escape path. Extract Playwright spec content MUSTs into the new contrib SPOT docs/contributing/artefact/files/role/playwright.specs.js.md. Reduce the agent-side spec and env.j2 pages to procedure only. Align the framework SPOT and the test-e2e-playwright role README with the central templates/package.json.j2 + files/playwright.config.js model and images.playwright.version as single source of truth. Sweep em dashes and sentence-case role headings across all touched docs per documentation.md and readme_md.md rules.

Development Environment Setup 🛠️
Use the repository's real setup flow. The main source of truth is the Makefile.
Important:
- Some local development commands change host settings such as DNS, AppArmor, and IPv6.
- Some commands use
sudo. - Read the setup guides first if you are new to this environment.
- The local development workflow is mainly tested on Linux.
Platform-Specific Instructions 🖥️
Shared Repository Workflow 🔄
These steps are the shared repository workflow and apply regardless of whether you work on Linux, macOS, or Windows with WSL2.
Bootstrap 🚀
Run these commands from the repository root:
make bootstrap
make environment-bootstrap
make up
make trust-ca
Bootstrap Commands 📋
| Phase | Command | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Initial setup | make bootstrap |
Installs project dependencies and runs the first repository setup. |
| Host preparation | make environment-bootstrap |
Prepares the local development machine for the project workflow. |
| Start stack | make up |
Starts the local development stack. |
| Browser trust | make trust-ca |
Trusts the generated local CA so *.infinito.example works correctly in your browser. |
Optional Development Marker 🏷️
If you want to mark this checkout as a development environment, run:
make mark-development
This step is optional. It creates an empty env.development file in the repository root.
Several tools (e.g. cli/deploy/development/compose.py, scripts/meta/resolve/apps.sh) pass env.ci as the base env-file to Docker Compose and then, when env.development exists, append it as a second --env-file. Because Docker Compose applies env-files in order, any variable defined in env.development overrides the corresponding value from env.ci. This lets you customize local settings (ports, image tags, flags) without modifying the shared env.ci file.
The pre-commit hooks are installed automatically by make environment-bootstrap and do not depend on this marker.
Teardown 🧹
When you are done, use these commands to stop the stack and clean up the local environment:
make down
make environment-teardown
Teardown Commands 📋
| Phase | Command | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Stop stack | make down |
Stops the local development stack. |
| Host cleanup | make environment-teardown |
Reverts local development environment changes where supported. |
Full Development Flow 🔁
The repository already contains a modular environment test suite at scripts/tests/environment/. The commands from that suite are explained here as the intended end-to-end flow.
Flow Summary 📋
| Step | Command | Purpose in this flow |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | make install |
Installs the dependencies needed before running the local development flow. |
| 2 | make environment-bootstrap |
Prepares the host machine for local development. |
| 3 | make up |
Starts the development stack. |
| 4 | make test |
Runs the main combined validation flow. |
| 5 | make deploy-fresh-purged-apps APPS=web-app-matomo |
Runs the baseline validation path for one concrete app. For the retry-loop policy, see Role Loop. |
| 6 | make trust-ca |
Makes the generated local certificates trusted by the host browser. |
| 7 | make down |
Stops the running development stack. |
| 8 | make environment-teardown |
Cleans up host-side development environment changes. |
Use this as a practical reference when you want to understand how local development is expected to work.
