description	Authenticate with local development server and get CLI token

Authenticate with local development server and get CLI token.

Prerequisites

• Dev server must be running (use /dev-start first)
• Clerk test credentials must be configured in environment

Workflow

Step 1: Check Dev Server Running

Check if dev server is accessible via the Caddy reverse proxy:

if curl -k -s --connect-timeout 3 https://www.vm7.ai:8443/ > /dev/null 2>&1; then
  echo "✅ Dev server is accessible at https://www.vm7.ai:8443"
else
  echo "❌ Dev server is not accessible"
  echo "Please run /start first or check if server is running"
  exit 1
fi

Step 2: Check Required Environment Variables

Check and ensure all required environment variables are set in turbo/apps/web/.env.local:

PROJECT_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
ENV_FILE="$PROJECT_ROOT/turbo/apps/web/.env.local"

# Check NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL
if ! grep -q "^NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL=" "$ENV_FILE" 2>/dev/null; then
  echo "⚠️ NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL not found, adding it..."
  echo "NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL=http://localhost:3000" >> "$ENV_FILE"
  echo "✅ Added NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL to .env.local"
  echo "⚠️ Note: Dev server needs restart to pick up this change"
fi

# Check NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY
if ! grep -q "^NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=" "$ENV_FILE" 2>/dev/null; then
  echo "❌ NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY not found in .env.local"
  echo "Please run: script/sync-env.sh"
  exit 1
fi

# Check CLERK_SECRET_KEY
if ! grep -q "^CLERK_SECRET_KEY=" "$ENV_FILE" 2>/dev/null; then
  echo "❌ CLERK_SECRET_KEY not found in .env.local"
  echo "Please run: script/sync-env.sh"
  exit 1
fi

echo "✅ All required environment variables are present"

Step 3: Build and Install CLI Globally

Build and install the CLI globally:

PROJECT_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
cd "$PROJECT_ROOT/turbo/apps/cli" && pnpm build && pnpm link --global

Step 4: Run Authentication Automation

PROJECT_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
cd "$PROJECT_ROOT" && npx tsx e2e/cli-auth-automation.ts $(printenv VM0_API_URL)

This script:

• Spawns vm0 auth login with the current VM0_API_URL
• Launches Playwright browser in headless mode
• Logs in via Clerk using $(hostname)[e-mail]
• Automatically enters the CLI device code
• Clicks "Authorize Device" button
• Saves token to ~/.vm0/config.json

Step 5: Verify Authentication

cat ~/.vm0/config.json

Step 6: Display Results

✅ CLI authentication successful!

Auth token saved to: ~/.vm0/config.json

You can now use the CLI with local dev server:
- vm0 auth status
- vm0 project list

Error Handling

If authentication fails:

• Check dev server logs with /dev-logs
• Verify Clerk credentials in turbo/apps/web/.env.local
• Ensure Playwright browser is installed
