+# Agent Dev Setup
+
+Two commands to spin up the full Autumn stack on a fresh Ubuntu VM — no Docker, no Infisical, no Supabase cloud signup, no interactive prompts.
+
+## Commands
+
+### `bun agent:bootstrap` — one-time
+
+Installs all system dependencies and downloads required binaries. Safe to re-run; every step is guarded and completes in ~1s if already installed.
+
+- Installs `postgresql-16` and `redis-server` via apt
+- Installs `clickhouse-server` and `clickhouse-client` from the official ClickHouse apt repo
+- Downloads the ElasticMQ jar to `/opt/elasticmq/elasticmq.jar` and writes its config
+- Runs `bun install --frozen-lockfile` if `node_modules` is missing
+
+### `bun dev:agent` — every session
+
+Starts all local services, creates the database, writes env files, runs migrations, then starts the dev servers.
+
+1. Starts `postgresql`, `redis-server`, and `clickhouse-server` via `service`
+2. Starts ElasticMQ in the background on `:9324` (skipped if already running)
+3. Creates the `autumn` Postgres database if it does not exist
+4. Writes `server/.env` (skips if already present) and `vite/.env` from `vite/.env.example`
+5. Runs `bun db:migrate`
+6. Launches server `:8080`, vite `:3000`, checkout `:3001`, and workers via `scripts/dev.ts`
+
+## Static team-wide env vars
+
+Set these in the process environment before running `bun dev:agent` and they will be written into `server/.env` on first run:
+
+| Variable | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `STRIPE_SANDBOX_SECRET_KEY` | Stripe test-mode secret key |
+| `STRIPE_SANDBOX_WEBHOOK_SECRET` | Stripe test-mode webhook signing secret |
+| `STRIPE_SANDBOX_CLIENT_ID` | Stripe Connect test platform client ID |
+| `STRIPE_LIVE_SECRET_KEY` | Stripe live secret key |
+| `STRIPE_LIVE_WEBHOOK_SECRET` | Stripe live webhook signing secret |
+| `STRIPE_LIVE_CLIENT_ID` | Stripe Connect live platform client ID |
+| `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | Anthropic API key |
+| `RESEND_API_KEY` | Resend email API key |
+| `RESEND_DOMAIN` | Resend sending domain |
+| `SVIX_API_KEY` | Svix webhook API key |
+| `POSTHOG_API_KEY` | PostHog project API key |
+| `POSTHOG_HOST` | PostHog instance URL |
+
+## Local services and ports
+
+| Service | Port | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| PostgreSQL | 5432 | Database: `autumn`, user: `postgres`, password: `postgres` |
+| Redis | 6379 | Used for `CACHE_URL` and `CACHE_URL_US_EAST` |
+| ElasticMQ | 9324 | Local SQS replacement, queue: `autumn.fifo` |
+| ClickHouse | 8123 | Used for `TINYBIRD_CLICKHOUSE_URL` |
+| Server | 8080 | Autumn API server |
+| Vite | 3000 | Frontend dev server |
+| Checkout | 3001 | Checkout app dev server |
+
+## SQS isolation
+
+Each agent instance gets its own local ElasticMQ. `SQS_QUEUE_URL` is always hardcoded to `http://localhost:9324/000000000000/autumn.fifo` in `server/.env` — the shared `SQS_QUEUE_URL` from the Capy environment is intentionally ignored to prevent agents from consuming a shared queue.
+
+## Known limitations
+
+- **EventBridge lock-receipt scheduler**: `createSchedule` and `deleteSchedule` are no-ops when running against a local (non-amazonaws.com) queue URL. Lock-receipt expiry will not fire automatically in local dev.
+- **Supabase logo upload**: Storage is not configured locally. Logo upload endpoints return 400 — expected.
+- **Stripe webhooks**: `STRIPE_WEBHOOK_URL=http://localhost:8080`. Configure a Stripe CLI webhook forwarder separately if you need live webhook testing.
+
+## Reset
+
+To regenerate `server/.env` with fresh secrets:
+
+```bash
+rm server/.env vite/.env && bun dev:agent
+```
