Development

This section is for contributors developing Mission Control locally.

Recommended workflow (fast loop)

Run Postgres in Docker, run backend + frontend on your host.

1) Start Postgres

From repo root:

cp .env.example .env
docker compose -f compose.yml --env-file .env up -d db

2) Run the backend (dev)

cd backend
cp .env.example .env

uv sync --extra dev
uv run uvicorn app.main:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

Verify:

curl -f http://localhost:8000/healthz

3) Run the frontend (dev)

cd frontend
cp .env.example .env.local
npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000.

Useful repo-root commands

make help
make setup
make check

• make setup: sync backend + frontend deps
• make check: lint + typecheck + tests + build (closest CI parity)
