+# start-dev-env
+
+## When to Use
+
+Use this command when you want to:
+- Test your code changes in an isolated Docker Compose environment
+- Verify API endpoints work correctly after modifications
+- Test database interactions with a fresh copy of the main database
+- Iterate on changes by testing them in a real environment
+- Debug issues in an isolated environment before committing
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- .NET SDK installed (`dotnet --version`)
+- Main PostgreSQL database running on localhost:5432
+- Docker installed and running
+- PostgreSQL client (psql) installed
+- Scripts are executable: `chmod +x scripts/*.sh`
+
+## Execution Steps
+
+### Step 1: Verify Prerequisites
+
+Check that all prerequisites are met:
+
+1. **Check main database is accessible:**
+   Run: `PGPASSWORD=postgres psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres -d managing -c '\q'`
+
+   **If connection fails:**
+   - Error: "❌ Cannot connect to main database at localhost:5432"
+   - **Fix**: Start the main PostgreSQL container:
+     ```bash
+     cd src/Managing.Docker
+     docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.local.yml up -d postgres
+     ```
+   - Wait 15 seconds for PostgreSQL to start
+   - Retry connection check
+   - **STOP** if database cannot be started
+
+2. **Check Docker is running:**
+   Run: `docker ps`
+
+   **If Docker is not running:**
+   - Error: "❌ Docker is not running"
+   - **Fix**: Start Docker Desktop or Docker daemon
+   - **STOP** if Docker cannot be started
+
+### Step 2: Generate Task ID
+
+Generate a unique task ID for this dev session:
+
+- Use format: `DEV-{timestamp}` or `DEV-{random}`
+- Example: `DEV-20250101-143022` or `DEV-A3X9`
+- Store this ID for later reference
+
+### Step 3: Find Available Port
+
+Find an available port offset to avoid conflicts:
+
+- Start with offset 0 (ports: 5433, 5000, 6379)
+- If ports are in use, try offset 10, 20, 30, etc.
+- Check if ports are available:
+  ```bash
+  lsof -i :5433 || echo "Port 5433 available"
+  lsof -i :5000 || echo "Port 5000 available"
+  ```
+
+### Step 4: Start Docker Environment
+
+Start the Docker Compose environment with database copy:
+
+Run: `bash scripts/start-task-docker.sh {TASK_ID} {PORT_OFFSET}`
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+bash scripts/start-task-docker.sh DEV-A3X9 0
+```
+
+**Or use the simple wrapper:**
+```bash
+bash scripts/start-dev-env.sh DEV-A3X9 0
+```
+
+**What this does:**
+1. Creates task-specific Docker Compose file
+2. Starts PostgreSQL on port 5433 (or 5432 + offset)
+3. Starts Redis on port 6379 (or 6379 + offset)
+4. Waits for PostgreSQL to be ready
+5. Copies database from main repo (localhost:5432) to test instance
+6. Starts API and Workers with correct connection strings
+7. Uses main InfluxDB instance at localhost:8086
+
+**If start succeeds:**
+- Note the API URL (e.g., "http://localhost:5000")
+- Note the database name (e.g., "managing_dev-a3x9")
+- Continue to Step 5
+
+**If start fails:**
+- Check error messages
+- Common issues:
+  - Port conflicts: Try different port offset
+  - Database connection: Verify main database is running
+  - Docker issues: Check Docker is running
+- **Try to fix:**
+  - Use different port offset
+  - Restart Docker
+  - Verify main database is accessible
+- **STOP** if cannot start after multiple attempts
+
+### Step 5: Verify Environment is Running
+
+Verify the Docker environment is working:
+
+1. **Check API health endpoint:**
+   Run: `curl http://localhost:{API_PORT}/health`
+
+   **If health check fails:**
+   - Wait 30 seconds for services to start
+   - Check Docker logs: `docker logs managing-api-{TASK_ID}`
+   - Check for errors
+   - **STOP** if services don't start after 2 minutes
+
+2. **Verify database was copied:**
+   Run: `PGPASSWORD=postgres psql -h localhost -p {POSTGRES_PORT} -U postgres -d managing_{TASK_ID} -c "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM \"Users\";"`
+
+   **If database is empty or missing:**
+   - Error: "❌ Database was not copied correctly"
+   - **Fix**: Re-run database copy script manually
+   - **STOP** if database cannot be copied
+
+### Step 6: Test Your Changes
+
+Now you can test your changes:
+
+1. **API endpoints:**
+   - Use API URL: `http://localhost:{API_PORT}`
+   - Test modified endpoints
+   - Verify responses are correct
+
+2. **Database interactions:**
+   - Changes are isolated to this test database
+   - Main database remains unchanged
+   - Can test migrations, data changes, etc.
+
+3. **Iterate:**
+   - Make code changes
+   - Rebuild solution: `/build-solution`
+   - Rebuild Docker images if needed: `docker-compose -f {COMPOSE_FILE} build`
+   - Restart services: `docker-compose -f {COMPOSE_FILE} restart managing-api-{TASK_ID}`
+   - Test again
+
+### Step 7: Stop Instance When Done
+
+When finished testing, stop the Docker environment:
+
+Run: `bash scripts/stop-task-docker.sh {TASK_ID}`
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+bash scripts/stop-task-docker.sh DEV-A3X9
+```
+
+This will:
+- Stop all containers
+- Remove volumes
+- Clean up compose file
+
+## Integration with Development Workflow
+
+### After Making Code Changes
+
+1. **Build solution:**
+   - Run: `/build-solution`
+   - Fix any build errors
+
+2. **Start Docker environment for testing:**
+   - Run: `/start-aspire-dev`
+   - Note the URLs
+
+3. **Test your changes:**
+   - Use the API endpoints
+   - Verify database interactions
+   - Check logs: `docker logs managing-api-{TASK_ID}`
+
+4. **Iterate if needed:**
+   - Fix issues found during testing
+   - Rebuild Docker images if code changed
+   - Restart services
+   - Test again
+
+5. **Stop when done:**
+   - Stop the Docker environment
+   - Clean up if needed
+
+### When to Use This Command
+
+- ✅ After modifying API endpoints
+- ✅ After changing database models
+- ✅ After updating business logic
+- ✅ Before committing changes
+- ✅ When debugging issues
+- ✅ When testing integrations
+
+### When NOT to Use This Command
+
+- ❌ For production deployments (use proper CI/CD)
+- ❌ For running unit tests (use test runner)
+- ❌ For code review (use static analysis)
+
+## Error Handling
+
+**If main database is not accessible:**
+- Start PostgreSQL container: `cd src/Managing.Docker && docker-compose up -d postgres`
+- Wait 15 seconds
+- Retry connection check
+- **STOP** if database cannot be started
+
+**If ports are in use:**
+- Try different port offset (10, 20, 30, etc.)
+- Check what's using the ports: `lsof -i :{PORT}`
+- Stop conflicting services if needed
+
+**If database copy fails:**
+- Verify main database is accessible
+- Check PostgreSQL client is installed: `which psql`
+- Verify connection strings are correct
+- Check disk space
+- **STOP** if copy cannot complete
+
+**If Docker services don't start:**
+- Check Docker logs: `docker logs {container_id}`
+- Verify all dependencies are installed
+- Check .NET SDK version matches requirements
+- **STOP** if services cannot start after multiple attempts
+
+## Example Execution
+
+**User input:** `/start-dev-env`
+
+**AI execution:**
+
+1. Verify prerequisites:
+   - Check main database: ✅ Accessible
+   - Check Docker: ✅ Running
+
+2. Generate task ID: `DEV-A3X9`
+
+3. Find available port: Offset 0 (ports available)
+
+4. Start Docker environment:
+   ```bash
+   bash scripts/start-task-docker.sh DEV-A3X9 0
+   ```
+   - Creating compose file...
+   - Starting PostgreSQL...
+   - ✅ PostgreSQL ready
+   - Copying database...
+   - ✅ Database copied
+   - Starting API and Workers...
+   - ✅ Services started
+
+5. Verify:
+   - API: http://localhost:5000 ✅
+   - Health check: ✅ Healthy
+   - Database: ✅ Copied (1234 users found)
+
+6. Success: "✅ Docker dev environment ready!"
+   - API: http://localhost:5000
+   - Database: managing_dev-a3x9 on port 5433
+   - To stop: `bash scripts/stop-task-docker.sh DEV-A3X9`
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- ✅ **Always verify main database first** - Must be accessible
+- ✅ **Use unique task IDs** - Prevents conflicts
+- ✅ **Check port availability** - Avoids port conflicts
+- ✅ **Wait for services to start** - Can take 30-60 seconds
+- ✅ **Database is isolated** - Changes don't affect main database
+- ✅ **InfluxDB uses main instance** - No separate InfluxDB per task
+- ✅ **Stop when done** - Frees up resources
+- ⚠️ **Multiple instances** - Each needs unique ports
+- ⚠️ **Resource usage** - Each instance uses memory/CPU
+- 📦 **Script location**: `scripts/start-task-docker.sh`
+- 🔧 **Main database**: localhost:5432
+- 🗄️ **Test databases**: localhost:5433+ (isolated per task)
+- 📊 **InfluxDB**: Uses main instance at localhost:8086

+# .env File Setup
+
+## Overview
+
+A `.env` file has been created at the project root to store environment variables **primarily for Vibe Kanban worktrees**. The .NET API optionally loads this file using the `DotNetEnv` package. 
+
+**Note**: `.env` file loading is **optional** - if the file doesn't exist, the application will continue normally using system environment variables and `appsettings.json`. This is expected behavior for normal operation.
+
+## What Was Done
+
+1. **Created `.env` file** at project root with all environment variables
+2. **Added DotNetEnv package** to `Managing.Api.csproj`
+3. **Updated `Program.cs`** to automatically load `.env` file before configuration
+4. **Updated `.gitignore`** to exclude `.env` files from version control
+
+## File Locations
+
+- **`.env`**: Project root (`/Users/oda/Desktop/Projects/managing-apps/.env`)
+- **Configuration**: `src/Managing.Api/Program.cs` (lines 34-58)
+
+## How It Works
+
+The `Program.cs` file **optionally** searches for a `.env` file in multiple locations:
+1. Current working directory
+2. Executable directory
+3. Project root (relative to bin/Debug/net8.0)
+4. Current directory (absolute path)
+
+When found, it loads the environment variables before `WebApplication.CreateBuilder` is called, ensuring they're available to the configuration system.
+
+**Important**: If no `.env` file is found, the application continues normally without any warnings. This is expected behavior - the `.env` file is only needed for Vibe Kanban worktrees.
+
+## Environment Variables Included
+
+The `.env` file contains:
+- Database connection strings (PostgreSQL, Orleans)
+- InfluxDB configuration
+- JWT secrets
+- Privy configuration
+- Admin users and authorized addresses
+- Feature flags
+- Discord, N8n, Sentry, Flagsmith configurations
+- Orleans configuration
+
+## Usage
+
+### Local Development
+
+When running the API locally (outside Docker), the `.env` file will be **optionally** loaded if it exists:
+
+```bash
+cd src/Managing.Api
+dotnet run
+```
+
+If `.env` exists, you'll see: `✅ Loaded .env file from: [path] (optional - for Vibe Kanban worktrees)`
+
+If `.env` doesn't exist, the application runs normally using system environment variables and `appsettings.json` (no message is shown).
+
+### Vibe Kanban Worktrees
+
+When Vibe Kanban creates a worktree, configure it to copy the `.env` file:
+
+**In Vibe Kanban Settings → Copy Files:**
+```
+.env
+```
+
+The API will automatically find and load the `.env` file from the worktree root.
+
+### Docker Containers
+
+Docker containers continue to use environment variables set in `docker-compose.yml` files. The `.env` file is not used in Docker (environment variables are passed directly to containers).
+
+## Security
+
+⚠️ **Important**: The `.env` file contains sensitive information and is excluded from git via `.gitignore`. 
+
+**Never commit the `.env` file to version control!**
+
+## Updating Environment Variables
+
+To update environment variables:
+
+1. Edit `.env` file at project root
+2. Restart the application
+3. The new values will be loaded automatically
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### .env file not found
+
+**This is normal!** The `.env` file is optional and only needed for Vibe Kanban worktrees. If no `.env` file is found, the application will:
+- Continue normally
+- Use system environment variables
+- Use `appsettings.json` files
+- No error or warning is shown (this is expected behavior)
+
+If you need the `.env` file for Vibe Kanban:
+- Ensure `.env` exists at the project root
+- Configure Vibe Kanban to copy it in "Copy Files" settings
+
+### Variables not loading
+
+- Ensure `.env` file is at project root
+- Check file format (KEY=VALUE, one per line)
+- Verify no syntax errors in `.env` file
+- Restart the application after changes
+
+### Priority Order
+
+Configuration is loaded in this order (later sources override earlier ones):
+1. `.env` file (via DotNetEnv)
+2. `appsettings.json`
+3. `appsettings.{Environment}.json`
+4. System environment variables
+5. User Secrets (Development only)
+
+## Related Files
+
+- `src/Managing.Api/Program.cs` - Loads .env file
+- `src/Managing.Api/Managing.Api.csproj` - Contains DotNetEnv package reference
+- `.gitignore` - Excludes .env files
+- `scripts/create-task-compose.sh` - Docker environment variables (separate from .env)

+
+## Part 3: Configure for Your Project
+
+### Create Vibe Kanban Configuration
+
+**Recommended: At Projects level** (to manage all projects):
+
+Create a `.vibe-kanban` directory in your Projects folder:
+
+```bash
+cd /Users/oda/Desktop/Projects
+mkdir -p .vibe-kanban
+```
+
+Create `/Users/oda/Desktop/Projects/.vibe-kanban/config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "projectRoot": "/Users/oda/Desktop/Projects",
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "dev-manager": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["dev-manager-mcp", "stdio"]
+    }
+  },
+  "qa": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "autoStartDevEnv": true,
+    "devEnvScript": "managing-apps/scripts/start-task-docker.sh",
+    "healthCheckUrl": "http://localhost:{port}/health",
+    "dashboardUrl": "http://localhost:{port}"
+  },
+  "tasks": {
+    "statuses": {
+      "ready-for-qa": {
+        "autoStartDevEnv": true
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Note**: The `devEnvScript` path is relative to the Projects folder. For managing-apps, it's `managing-apps/scripts/start-task-docker.sh`. For other projects, configure project-specific scripts in Vibe Kanban's project settings.
+
+### Update Your MCP Configuration
+
+If you're using Cursor or another editor with MCP support, add to your MCP config (usually `~/.cursor/mcp.json` or similar):
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "dev-manager": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["dev-manager-mcp", "stdio"]
+    }
+  }
+}

+# Task Environments Setup with Docker Compose
+
+This document explains how to use Docker Compose to create isolated test environments for each development task.
+
+## Overview
+
+Each task gets its own isolated Docker Compose environment with:
+- ✅ Isolated PostgreSQL database (copy of main database)
+- ✅ Isolated Redis instance
+- ✅ API and Workers containers
+- ✅ Uses main InfluxDB instance (shared)
+- ✅ Unique ports per task to avoid conflicts
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Start a Test Environment
+
+```bash
+# Simple way (auto-generates task ID)
+bash scripts/start-dev-env.sh
+
+# With specific task ID
+bash scripts/start-dev-env.sh TASK-123
+
+# With specific task ID and port offset
+bash scripts/start-dev-env.sh TASK-123 10
+```
+
+### Stop a Test Environment
+
+```bash
+bash scripts/stop-task-docker.sh TASK-123
+```
+
+## Scripts
+
+### `scripts/start-task-docker.sh`
+Main script that:
+1. Creates task-specific Docker Compose file
+2. Starts PostgreSQL and Redis
+3. Copies database from main repo
+4. Starts API and Workers
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+bash scripts/start-task-docker.sh <TASK_ID> <PORT_OFFSET>
+```
+
+### `scripts/stop-task-docker.sh`
+Stops and cleans up a task environment.
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+bash scripts/stop-task-docker.sh <TASK_ID>
+```
+
+### `scripts/copy-database-for-task.sh`
+Copies database from main repo to task-specific PostgreSQL instance.
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+bash scripts/copy-database-for-task.sh <TASK_ID> <SOURCE_HOST> <SOURCE_PORT> <TARGET_HOST> <TARGET_PORT>
+```
+
+### `scripts/create-task-compose.sh`
+Generates a Docker Compose file for a specific task.
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+bash scripts/create-task-compose.sh <TASK_ID> <PORT_OFFSET>
+```
+
+### `scripts/start-dev-env.sh`
+Simple wrapper for dev agents to start environments.
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+bash scripts/start-dev-env.sh [TASK_ID] [PORT_OFFSET]
+```
+
+## Port Allocation
+
+Default ports (offset 0):
+- PostgreSQL: 5433
+- API: 5000
+- Redis: 6379
+- InfluxDB: 8086 (uses main instance)
+
+With offset 10:
+- PostgreSQL: 5442
+- API: 5010
+- Redis: 6389
+- InfluxDB: 8086 (uses main instance)
+
+## Database Setup
+
+Each task environment:
+- Gets a fresh copy of the main database
+- Has isolated databases: `managing_{task_id}` and `orleans_{task_id}`
+- Changes don't affect the main database
+- Can be reset by stopping and restarting
+
+## Integration with Vibe Kanban
+
+When a task moves to "Ready for QA":
+1. Vibe Kanban calls `scripts/start-task-docker.sh`
+2. Environment is created with database copy
+3. Test URLs are provided
+4. When done, Vibe Kanban calls `scripts/stop-task-docker.sh`
+
+## Integration with dev-manager-mcp
+
+dev-manager-mcp can manage multiple environments:
+- Start: `npx dev-manager-mcp start --command "bash scripts/start-task-docker.sh TASK-123 0"`
+- Status: `npx dev-manager-mcp status`
+- Stop: `npx dev-manager-mcp stop --session-key <KEY>`
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Port Conflicts
+Use a different port offset:
+```bash
+bash scripts/start-task-docker.sh TASK-123 10
+```
+
+### Database Copy Fails
+1. Verify main database is running: `docker ps | grep postgres`
+2. Check connection: `PGPASSWORD=postgres psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres -d managing -c '\q'`
+3. Ensure PostgreSQL client is installed: `which psql`
+
+### Services Don't Start
+Check logs:
+```bash
+docker logs managing-api-TASK-123
+docker logs managing-workers-TASK-123
+```
+
+### Clean Up All Task Environments
+```bash
+# List all task containers
+docker ps -a | grep -E "postgres-|managing-api-|managing-workers-|redis-"
+
+# Stop and remove all task containers
+docker ps -a | grep -E "postgres-|managing-api-|managing-workers-|redis-" | awk '{print $1}' | xargs docker rm -f
+
+# Remove all task volumes
+docker volume ls | grep -E "postgresdata_|redis_data_" | awk '{print $2}' | xargs docker volume rm
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use descriptive task IDs**: `TASK-123`, `FEATURE-456`, `BUGFIX-789`
+2. **Stop environments when done**: Frees up resources
+3. **Use port offsets for parallel testing**: Test multiple tasks simultaneously
+4. **Check port availability**: Before starting, verify ports aren't in use
+5. **Monitor resource usage**: Each environment uses memory and CPU
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+Main Environment (localhost:5432)
+├── PostgreSQL (main database)
+└── InfluxDB (shared)
+
+Task Environment (offset ports)
+├── PostgreSQL (isolated, copied from main)
+├── Redis (isolated)
+├── API Container (connects to task PostgreSQL, main InfluxDB)
+└── Workers Container (connects to task PostgreSQL, main InfluxDB)
+```
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Install Vibe Kanban: See `docs/INSTALL_VIBE_KANBAN_AND_DEV_MANAGER.md`
+2. Install dev-manager-mcp: See `docs/INSTALL_VIBE_KANBAN_AND_DEV_MANAGER.md`
+3. Configure agent command: See `.cursor/commands/start-dev-env.md`

+# Vibe Kanban Dev Server Script Configuration
+
+## The Problem
+
+Vibe Kanban runs the dev server script from a different working directory than expected, causing "No such file or directory" errors.
+
+## Solution: Use Absolute Path
+
+In the Vibe Kanban dev server script field, use the **absolute path** to the wrapper script:
+
+```bash
+bash /Users/oda/Desktop/Projects/managing-apps/scripts/vibe-dev-server.sh
+```
+
+## Alternative: If Relative Path is Required
+
+If Vibe Kanban requires a relative path and you know it runs from `/Users/oda/Desktop`, use:
+
+```bash
+bash Projects/managing-apps/scripts/vibe-dev-server.sh
+```
+
+## What the Wrapper Script Does
+
+The `vibe-dev-server.sh` wrapper script:
+
+1. ✅ Uses absolute paths internally
+2. ✅ Changes to the correct project directory
+3. ✅ Handles task ID parameters
+4. ✅ Works regardless of Vibe Kanban's working directory
+5. ✅ Provides debug output to help troubleshoot
+
+## Testing the Script
+
+You can test the script manually:
+
+```bash
+# From any directory
+bash /Users/oda/Desktop/Projects/managing-apps/scripts/vibe-dev-server.sh TEST-001 0
+```
+
+## Debug Output
+
+The script includes debug output that shows:
+- Current working directory
+- Script path being used
+- Task ID and port offset
+
+This helps identify if Vibe Kanban is running from an unexpected directory.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Error: "Script not found"
+
+1. Verify the script exists:
+   ```bash
+   ls -la /Users/oda/Desktop/Projects/managing-apps/scripts/vibe-dev-server.sh
+   ```
+
+2. Check permissions:
+   ```bash
+   chmod +x /Users/oda/Desktop/Projects/managing-apps/scripts/vibe-dev-server.sh
+   ```
+
+3. Try running it directly:
+   ```bash
+   bash /Users/oda/Desktop/Projects/managing-apps/scripts/vibe-dev-server.sh TEST-001
+   ```
+
+### Error: "Cannot change to project root"
+
+- Verify the project root exists: `/Users/oda/Desktop/Projects/managing-apps`
+- Check directory permissions
+
+## Configuration in Vibe Kanban
+
+**Dev Server Script Field:**
+```
+bash /Users/oda/Desktop/Projects/managing-apps/scripts/vibe-dev-server.sh
+```
+
+**Health Check URL:**
+```
+http://localhost:{port}/health
+```
+
+**Port Detection:**
+Vibe Kanban should detect the port from the script output or you may need to configure it manually.

+# Vibe Kanban Project Settings Configuration
+
+## Settings URL
+http://127.0.0.1:63100/settings/projects?projectId=1a4fdbff-8b23-49d5-9953-2476846cbcc2
+
+## Configuration Steps
+
+### 1. MCP Servers Configuration
+
+In the **MCP Servers** section, add or verify:
+
+**Server Name:** `dev-manager`
+
+**Configuration:**
+```json
+{
+  "command": "npx",
+  "args": ["dev-manager-mcp", "stdio"]
+}
+```
+
+This enables Vibe Kanban to use dev-manager-mcp for managing multiple dev server instances.
+
+### 2. QA / Testing Configuration
+
+In the **QA** or **Testing** section, configure:
+
+**Enable QA Automation:** ✅ Checked
+
+**Dev Environment Script:**
+```
+managing-apps/scripts/vibe-dev-server.sh
+```
+
+**Or use absolute path:**
+```
+/Users/oda/Desktop/Projects/managing-apps/scripts/vibe-dev-server.sh
+```
+
+**Note:** This path is relative to `/Users/oda/Desktop/Projects` (the Projects folder root)
+
+**Health Check URL:**
+```
+http://localhost:{port}/health
+```
+
+**Dashboard URL (optional):**
+```
+http://localhost:{port}
+```
+
+### 3. Task Status Configuration
+
+Configure which task statuses should auto-start dev environments:
+
+**Status:** `ready-for-qa`
+
+**Auto-start dev environment:** ✅ Enabled
+
+This means when a task moves to "Ready for QA" status, Vibe Kanban will automatically:
+1. Call `managing-apps/scripts/start-task-docker.sh` with the task ID
+2. Wait for the environment to be ready
+3. Provide the test URLs
+4. Stop the environment when the task is completed
+
+### 4. Project Root
+
+**Project Root Path:**
+```
+/Users/oda/Desktop/Projects/managing-apps
+```
+
+This should be automatically detected from the `.vibe-kanban/config.json` file location.
+
+## Complete Configuration Summary
+
+Here's what should be configured:
+
+### MCP Servers
+- ✅ `dev-manager` → `npx dev-manager-mcp stdio`
+
+### QA Settings
+- ✅ Auto-start dev environments: **Enabled**
+- ✅ Script: `managing-apps/scripts/start-task-docker.sh`
+- ✅ Health check: `http://localhost:{port}/health`
+- ✅ Dashboard: `http://localhost:{port}`
+
+### Task Statuses
+- ✅ `ready-for-qa` → Auto-start dev environment: **Enabled**
+
+## Verification
+
+After configuration, test by:
+
+1. **Create a test task** in managing-apps project
+2. **Move it to "Ready for QA"** status
+3. **Verify** that Vibe Kanban automatically:
+   - Starts a Docker environment
+   - Copies the database
+   - Provides test URLs
+   - Shows the environment status
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Script Not Found
+- Verify the script path is relative to Projects folder: `managing-apps/scripts/start-task-docker.sh`
+- Check that the script is executable: `chmod +x managing-apps/scripts/start-task-docker.sh`
+
+### MCP Server Not Working
+- Ensure dev-manager-mcp daemon is running: `npm run dev-manager:start` (in Projects folder)
+- Check MCP server configuration matches exactly
+
+### Environment Not Starting
+- Check Docker is running
+- Verify main database is accessible at localhost:5432
+- Check script logs in Vibe Kanban
+
+## Script Path Reference
+
+Since Vibe Kanban runs from `/Users/oda/Desktop/Projects`, all script paths should be relative to that:
+
+- ✅ `managing-apps/scripts/start-task-docker.sh`
+- ✅ `managing-apps/scripts/stop-task-docker.sh`
+- ✅ `managing-apps/scripts/copy-database-for-task.sh`
+

+# Vibe Kanban Setup Summary
+
+## ✅ Setup Complete!
+
+Vibe Kanban is configured at the **Projects level** to manage multiple projects (managing-apps, kaigen-web, gmx-interface, etc.).
+
+## File Locations
+
+- **Config**: `/Users/oda/Desktop/Projects/.vibe-kanban/config.json`
+- **Package.json**: `/Users/oda/Desktop/Projects/package.json`
+- **Run from**: `/Users/oda/Desktop/Projects`
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Start Vibe Kanban (from Projects folder)
+
+```bash
+cd /Users/oda/Desktop/Projects
+npm run vibe-kanban
+```
+
+This will:
+- Auto-discover all projects in `/Users/oda/Desktop/Projects`
+- Show managing-apps, kaigen-web, gmx-interface, etc.
+- Allow you to manage tasks across all projects
+
+### Start dev-manager-mcp (in separate terminal)
+
+```bash
+cd /Users/oda/Desktop/Projects
+npm run dev-manager:start
+```
+
+## Benefits of Projects-Level Setup
+
+✅ **Access all projects** from one Vibe Kanban instance
+✅ **Centralized configuration** for MCP servers
+✅ **Cross-project task management**
+✅ **Unified QA workflow** across projects
+✅ **Auto-discovery** of all git projects
+✅ **Project-specific dev environments** - Each project can have its own dev environment setup
+
+## Project-Specific Scripts
+
+For managing-apps specific tasks, scripts are in the project:
+
+```bash
+cd /Users/oda/Desktop/Projects/managing-apps
+npm run dev-env:start    # Start dev environment
+npm run dev-env:stop     # Stop dev environment
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+The Projects-level config references project-specific scripts:
+
+```json
+{
+  "projectRoot": "/Users/oda/Desktop/Projects",
+  "devEnvScript": "managing-apps/scripts/start-task-docker.sh"
+}
+```
+
+When Vibe Kanban starts a dev environment for a managing-apps task, it uses the script path relative to the Projects folder.
+
+For other projects, you can configure project-specific dev environment scripts in Vibe Kanban's project settings.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. ✅ Vibe Kanban config created at Projects level
+2. ✅ Package.json created with convenience scripts
+3. ✅ Auto-discovery enabled for all projects
+4. 🚀 **Start Vibe Kanban**: `cd /Users/oda/Desktop/Projects && npm run vibe-kanban`
