## Contributor Onboarding

New contributors should start here:
+
1. `docs/tutorials/FIRST_AUTOMATION_10_MIN.md` (fast baseline walkthrough)
2. `docs/ONBOARDING.md` (setup + contribution tracks)
3. `docs/CONTRIBUTING.md` (standards, definition of done, PR workflow)
4. `.github/pull_request_template.md` (PR structure used in this repo)
Good first areas:
+
- UI polish and node inspector UX (`apps/web/src`)
- New activity handlers (`apps/server/src/lib/runner.ts`)
- New API endpoints with `zod` validation (`apps/server/src/index.ts`)
- Docs and tutorials (`docs/*`)
## Development Commands
+
Start stack:
+
```bash
./start.sh
```
Start without auto-update:
+
```bash
AUTO_UPDATE=0 ./start.sh
```
Run backend tests:
+
```bash
cd apps/server && npm test
```
Run web tests:
+
```bash
cd apps/web && npm test
```
Run web Playwright smoke tests:
+
```bash
cd apps/web && npx playwright install --with-deps chromium && npm run test:e2e
```
Build server + web:
+
```bash
cd apps/server && npm run build
cd apps/web && npm run build
```
Stop stack:
+
```bash
docker compose down
```
## Release Automation
+
Create the next version tag from `main`:
+
```bash
npm run release:patch
```
Other bump modes:
+
```bash
npm run release:minor
npm run release:major
```
Dry run:
