 "summary": "Start the FastAPI backend and React frontend without Docker so you can change the code.",
 "who": "A developer who wants to modify the agent, retrieval, or frontend and test changes locally.",
 "problem": "Docker images do not show the code you are editing, so you need a source setup for development.",
 "outcome": "The backend, frontend, and settings page run locally, and the launcher prints the local addresses.",
 "steps": [
  "`git clone https://github.com/MoMoM101/RAG-ReActAgent.git`",
  "`cd RAG-ReActAgent`",
  "`cp backend/.env.example backend/.env` (Windows PowerShell: `Copy-Item backend/.env.example backend/.env`)",
  "`python -m venv .venv`",
  "`pip install -r backend/requirements.txt`",
  "`cd frontend`, then `npm install`, then `cd ..`",
  "`python main.py`"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Clone https://github.com/MoMoM101/RAG-ReActAgent, create a Python 3.12 virtual environment, install backend/requirements.txt, run npm install in frontend, then run python main.py. Expected output: the launcher output with the Web, settings, and API docs addresses. Verify that the backend health check responds before reporting success.",
