 "title": "Run Comma locally with a mock model for testing",
 "page_title": "How to run Comma locally with a mock model for testing with Comma",
 "summary": "Start the backend and Web client without a model key and run the test suites.",
 "who": "A developer who wants to explore or contribute to Comma and does not have a model provider key yet.",
 "problem": "Setting up a model provider just to see how Comma works slows down development and testing.",
 "outcome": "A local Comma backend and Web client running on a deterministic mock model, with the client and system test suites passing.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `pnpm install` once in the repository root.",
  "Run `make dev` to start the local backend and the Web client.",
  "Sign in as comma-local@example.com and read the login code in Mailpit at the address shown in the README development section.",
  "Run `make test-clients` from the repository root.",
  "Run `make test-systems` from the repository root."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the AFK-surf/Comma repository, install dependencies with pnpm, start the local stack with make dev, and run make test-clients and make test-systems. Report which suites pass and which fail, with the failing test names. Verify that the mock model is in use by confirming the README says make dev uses a deterministic mock model.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "60 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The mock model in make dev is deterministic and does not give real model answers, so use a configured provider to test real behavior.",

 "requirements": [
  "Docker Engine with Compose v2.24 or later for self-hosting",
  "A model provider account, or a ChatGPT or Claude plan, for real model calls",
  "Enough disk space for the first Docker build, which downloads Lean, Elixir, Go, and Node toolchains",
  "A Mac with the Comma Mac app for local file and agent work",
  "pnpm and make for local development"
