Dev Environment (Docker)

• Frontend and backend run in Docker with hot reload (frontend and backend dirs are volume-mounted).
• Assume they are already running. You can check the app in the browser or hit APIs without starting anything.
• Only if services are not running: run docker compose up -d. Do not start frontend/backend manually outside Docker for normal dev.

Path Conventions

• Always use generic paths in examples and documentation - use ~ (tilde) for home directory instead of user-specific absolute paths like /Users/pk.
• Examples: ~/.mycelia/data/mongo instead of /Users/pk/.mycelia/data/mongo
• This applies to .env.example, documentation, comments, and any example code.
