Start the OpenWork dev stack via Docker and verify real user flows via Chrome MCP. Triggers when user mentions: - "dev-up.sh" - "docker dev stack" - "verify in chrome mcp" - "test the real flow"
## Quick Usage (Already Configured) ### 1) Start the dev stack (Docker) Run from the OpenWork repo root: ```bash cd _repos/openwork packaging/docker/dev-up.sh ``` This prints: - Web UI URL (http://localhost:<WEB_PORT>) - OpenWork server URL (http://localhost:<OPENWORK_PORT>) - Token file path (`_repos/openwork/tmp/.dev-env-<id>`) containing `OPENWORK_TOKEN` + `OPENWORK_HOST_TOKEN` - A `docker compose ... down` command that stops this stack ### 2) Verify a real UI flow (Chrome MCP) Minimum gate: 1. Open the printed Web UI URL. 2. Navigate to the session/chat surface (typically `/session`). 3. Send a message (example: `smoke: hello from chrome mcp`). 4. Confirm a response renders in the UI. Chrome MCP tool recipe (typical): - `chrome-devtools_list_pages` (optional: see existing tabs) - `chrome-devtools_new_page` with the Web UI URL (or `chrome-devtools_navigate_page` if a page is already open) - `chrome-devtools_take_snapshot` to locate the chat input + Send button uids - `chrome-devtools_fill` the chat input uid with your message - `chrome-devtools_click` the Send button uid - `chrome-devtools_wait_for` a distinctive piece of response text (or re-snapshot until the response appears) - `chrome-devtools_take_screenshot` (save to `/tmp/...png` when possible) - If debugging: `chrome-devtools_list_console_messages` Evidence: - Take a Chrome MCP screenshot after the response appears. - If something fails, capture console logs and (optionally) Docker logs. ### 3) Stop the stack Use the exact `docker compose -p ... down` command printed by `dev-up.sh`. If you lost it, you can find the project name via: ```bash docker ps --format '{{.Names}}' | rg '^openwork-dev-' ``` Then stop it (replace `<project>`): ```bash cd _repos/openwork docker compose -p <project> -f packaging/docker/docker-compose.dev.yml down ``` ## Required Gate (Non-Negotiable) - Any user-facing change or change that touches remote behavior must be validated end-to-end in the running UI. - The change is not "done" until it succeeds via Chrome MCP against the Docker dev stack started by `packaging/docker/dev-up.sh`. ## Common Gotchas - Docker is required (and the `docker` CLI must be available on PATH). - `dev-up.sh` uses random host ports; do not assume `5173`/`8787`. - If the UI looks up but is disconnected, confirm you opened the *printed* URL and that headless is healthy.
