No default value for log directory in any monorepo app. Config must use
process.env.LOG_DIR ?? '' (or equivalent) so that when unset, the value is empty.
When LOG_DIR is empty or unset, logs are console-only (no file transport). This avoids bulky log files inside containers when no external volume is mounted.
When LOG_DIR is set (e.g. in Docker with a volume), use the path that matches the external volume mount.
Do not default to ./logs or /app/logs in app code; that causes file logging inside
containers without a volume and can become bulky.
Apps today use lightweight console loggers (e.g. apps/api/src/lib/logger.ts). When introducing
structured file logging, wire transports only when LOG_DIR is non-empty.
config/index.tsCanonical linear DB migrations under infra/k8s/base/ops/source/database/linear-migrations, ops bundles, env keys, and runners. Use when adding or changing SQL migrations, K8s DB bootstrap, or scripts/database in this repo.
When an E2E test verifies a specific element, pass it to the capture helper so the step screenshot is taken with that element vertically centered.
Create and use Metaboost git worktrees in sibling directories named metaboost_<branch_slug> (underscores). Use when starting feature work, moving WIP off the main checkout, or opening the correct worktree path for a branch.
Distributed tracing and OTLP export patterns. Use when adding trace context, log correlation, or Observability env — after Metaboost adopts a shared observability package.
When you finish a plan file in active/, automatically move it to completed/. If it's the last plan in its set, move the whole set. Use when completing any plan under .llm/plans/active/.
User vocabulary abcmemory and abcremember — where Cursor guidance lives and how to persist new instructions. Use when the user says abcmemory or abcremember.
