# Task: Start Makelore development project

## Identity

- Task ID: 20260905-start-project-d71a4c
- Mode: Feature
- Branch: main
- Worktree: /Users/inmanx/Documents/makelore
- Base commit: c5014030768e22ab95464494fca2d0892d901c8a
- Owner: codex
- Status: Ready for Integration

## Scope

- Start the Makelore Electron application in desktop development mode from the
  current local `main` checkout using the pnpm version pinned by `packageManager`.
- Confirm the Renderer, Electron Main, Preload, utility worker, and Host API reach
  a usable running state without terminating unrelated application state.

## Intent And Constraints

- Use `corepack pnpm run dev` with pinned pnpm `10.33.4`.
- Do not change application configuration, global user-data paths, single-instance
  behavior, or environment contracts merely to bypass an existing installed app.
- Do not force-quit the installed Makelore instance without the user's direction,
  because it may contain active or unsaved work.

## Outcome

- After user confirmation, gracefully quit the installed
  `/Applications/Makelore.app` instance and confirmed its process exited.
- Started `corepack pnpm run dev`; Vite became ready at
  `http://localhost:5173/`, all Electron development targets compiled, and the
  Electron development application opened without a single-instance-lock exit.
- The Renderer, Electron Main, Preload, utility worker, and authenticated Host API
  are running in the retained development session.

## Verification

- `corepack pnpm --version` returned `10.33.4`.
- Port inspection before the second launch found no listener on TCP 5173 or 13210.
- Development output reached `VITE v7.3.1 ready`, built Main, Preload, and utility
  bundles, started Electron PID 73770, and reported `Host API server listening on
  http://127.0.0.1:13210`.
- `http://localhost:5173/` returned HTTP 200.
- An unauthenticated request to `http://127.0.0.1:13210/` returned the expected
  HTTP 401, confirming the Host API listener and authentication gate are active.
- System Events reported an Electron window named `Makelore`; listener inspection
  showed Vite on localhost TCP 5173 and Electron on TCP 127.0.0.1:13210.
- Startup emitted only non-fatal development warnings about login-item permission,
  mixed static/dynamic imports, and stale Browserslist data.

## Follow-ups

- Keep the development session running for interactive use. Stop it with Ctrl-C
  when development work is finished.

## Promotion Candidates

- None. This is an operational startup task and does not change product behavior.
