Documentation Created (1)

🚀 Quick Start (60 seconds)

# 1. Check prerequisites (no Docker)
npm run act:diagnose

# 2. Test it works (1 job, ~2-3 min)
npm run act:lint

# 3. Run full CI locally (all jobs, ~8-15 min)
npm run act

# Now you can push with confidence!
git push origin feature-branch

📋 Available Commands

Essential (Use Daily)

npm run act              # Full CI pipeline (use before pushing)
npm run act:lint        # Just linting (use during development)
npm run act:test        # Interactive menu (use for debugging)
npm run act:diagnose    # Check setup (use if something feels wrong)

Component-Specific

npm run act:typecheck   # TypeScript validation
npm run act:build       # Production build
npm run act:e2e         # End-to-end tests
npm run act:prisma      # Database setup

Utilities

npm run act:list        # Show all available jobs
npm run act:all         # Run full CI (alias for `npm run act`)

⚡ Performance Profile

Command Time Use Case
npm run act:diagnose <1s Check setup (no Docker)
npm run act:lint 2-3 min Quick feedback during dev
npm run act:build 3-5 min Verify build still works
npm run act:e2e 4-6 min Test UI changes
npm run act 8-15 min Full validation before push
First run 5-10 min Docker image download (one-time)

💡 Tip: Use component commands during development, full pipeline before pushing.

🎓 Recommended Workflow

Day-to-Day Development

# 1. After making changes
npm run act:lint        # Quick feedback (2-3 min)

# 2. Before committing
npm run act:build       # Verify build (3-5 min)

# 3. Before pushing
npm run act             # Full CI (8-15 min)

# 4. Done!
git push origin feature-branch

When Debugging CI Failures

# 1. Check what's wrong
npm run act:diagnose

# 2. Test specific component
npm run act:test        # Choose job from menu

# 3. View logs
tail -f /tmp/act-logs/*.log

# 4. Fix and retry
npm run act:lint        # Test just linting
npm run act             # Full pipeline when ready

Pre-Push Checklist

✓ npm run act:diagnose   # Setup OK?
✓ npm run act:lint       # Code clean?
✓ npm run act:build      # Builds?
✓ npm run act:e2e        # Tests pass?
✓ npm run act            # Full CI OK?
✓ git push               # Ready!

🐛 Troubleshooting

"act not installed"

brew install act  # macOS
# or equivalent for your OS

"Docker not running"

# Start Docker Desktop (macOS/Windows)
# or: sudo systemctl start docker (Linux)

"Out of memory"

# Docker Settings → Resources → Memory → 8GB+

"First run is slow"

# Expected! Docker image downloads 2-5GB
# Subsequent runs are much faster (cached)

"Need to debug"

# View logs
tail -f /tmp/act-logs/*.log

# Or use interactive menu
npm run act:test
