# Task: Start Makelore development project

## Identity

- Task ID: 20260905-start-project-a4c7e9
- Mode: Feature
- Branch: main
- Worktree: /Users/inmanx/Documents/makelore
- Base commit: f8eee430f4f4167dc2ecc682ece96c652cdde14b
- Owner: codex
- Status: Planning

## Scope

- Start the Makelore Electron application in desktop development mode from the
  current local `main` checkout with the pnpm version pinned by `packageManager`.
- Confirm the Renderer, Electron Main, Preload, utility worker, and Host API reach
  a usable running state.

## Intent And Constraints

- Use `corepack pnpm run dev` with pinned pnpm `10.33.4`.
- Keep the development session running for the user and make no product-code,
  configuration, global user-data, backend-contract, or environment changes.
- Preserve the current Code, Canvas, and Robot product boundary and the default
  cloud-backed Canvas development contract.

## Outcome

- Started `corepack pnpm run dev`; Vite became ready at
  `http://localhost:5173/`, all Electron development targets compiled, and the
  Electron development window opened as `Makelore`.
- Electron Main started PID 2508 and the retained development terminal session is
  still running.

## Verification

- `corepack pnpm --version` returned `10.33.4`.
- Port inspection before launch found no listener on TCP 5173 or 13210.
- Development output reached `VITE v7.3.1 ready`, compiled Main, Preload, and the
  release utility worker, and reported the Host API at `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.
- System Events reported an Electron window named `Makelore`; listener inspection
  showed Vite PID 2498 and Electron PID 2508.
- Startup emitted only non-fatal development warnings about login-item permission,
  mixed static/dynamic imports, and stale Browserslist data.

## Follow-ups

- Keep the retained 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.
