scripts/workbench — a single robust entrypoint so a fresh clone runs the
Workbench the FIRST time, not sometimes:
- doctor: fail-loud preflight (uv, node>=20, pnpm via corepack, curl) — each
failure prints the exact fix, never a half-started UI
- setup: idempotent — uv venv + editable CORE install + pnpm frozen install,
only when actually missing; re-runs instant
- up: health-gated start of the stdlib API (:8765 /health) + Vite UI (:5173),
reuses already-healthy ports, invokes vite directly so Ctrl+C tears down
both cleanly (TERM-then-KILL, EXIT trap); logs to /tmp/core-workbench-*.log
- pure-Python backend (numpy) — no Rust build required to run the Workbench
- API_PORT / UI_PORT overridable
Tested end-to-end: up in ~5s (API /health 200, UI 200), clean teardown
frees both ports. README gains a 'CORE Workbench — one command' quick-start
as the most-discoverable visual entry, with the first-time-works guarantees
spelled out for an external evaluator.
