Actions: Created hybrid dev setup (Docker DBs + native app), added Makefile at project root, added AUTH_USER/AUTH_PASS to .env. Decisions: Used ports from .env (15432 for Postgres, 16379 for Redis), kept API on 9621 and WebUI on 5173; scripts stored in project root for discoverability. Next steps: Run make dev to start the full stack; credentials are admin/admin123. Lessons/insights: Existing scripts (scripts/start-dev-stack.sh, starter/Makefile) used different configs; a unified approach using root .env is cleaner for development.
