Developer Quick Start

The standard local entry point is now a single root command:

pnpm dev

Required tools in PATH: pnpm, func, swa.

This starts the local web development stack:

• Azure Functions TypeScript watch
• Azure Functions host
• Angular dev server on https://localhost:4200
• Azure Static Web Apps emulator

Useful root shortcuts:

pnpm dev:api
pnpm dev:angular
pnpm dev:swa
pnpm build:web
pnpm test:web
pnpm lint:web
pnpm build:corejs
pnpm test:corejs
pnpm build:tauri

In VS Code you can run the dev: full web stack task from the workspace root.
