By market close. 4.5 Opus via Claude Code. No useful input from me, maybe some prompting to make it take good notes along the way. It had an easy time getting the front end running against the production DB.

Success criteria is a server running on my machine, a howto doc, and a PR. The server has to pass my brief scrutiny, we have to be able to make a not-quite-trivial change and see it work. The howto doc and the PR do not need to be of any particular quality, be tested, or be reviewed; Claude needs to think they're decent and they need to pass whatever review I decide to perform.

How locally is locally?

@Eliza If you need to be using no cloud services whatsoever I'll be buying No. If it can use all the various cloud services that production uses, then I'll be buying Yes.

@Eliza Just for reference, with no AI robots and no one to ask for any help it took me 2.5 hours to do "the main server is running locally but some cloud components are still used" as of June 2025.
