This path starts the reviewer console and its CockroachDB-backed demo environment. At the end, you will have an isolated workspace with seeded memory, evaluation scenarios, and audit history.

​
Prerequisites

  • Node.js 22.13 or newer
  • npm
  • Docker with Compose support
  • An unused local port 3000
1

Create local configuration

From the repository root, copy the safe configuration template.
Local development can override server settings. Never expose database URLs, bootstrap keys, session secrets, trusted-source key material, or AWS secrets through a NEXT_PUBLIC_ variable.
2

Install application dependencies

The lockfile defines the dependency graph used by CI.
3

Start CockroachDB

The integration database listens on localhost:26258 with TLS disabled for local use only.
4

Reset and seed the demo

This applies migrations and creates a repeatable local workspace. It does not mutate the production cluster.
5

Start the reviewer console

Open http://localhost:3000/onboarding. The page should show the workspace checklist and links to the change queue, evaluations, memory explorer, and audit log.

​
Confirm the environment

Run the fast application checks in another terminal:
When both commands pass, continue to release your first governed memory.
The local database configuration is deliberately permissive. Use the restricted runtime principal, TLS, AWS Secrets Manager, and the production migration workflow outside local development.
