@cursor cursor released this 29 Aug 22:47

Windows developers can run MyAPES Core on a Laragon Apache virtual host with a dedicated env profile, bootstrap switch, and dev launcher that skips artisan serve.

Changes

  • Add .env.laragon.example with vhost URLs and VITE_DEV_SERVER_URL for Laragon Apache workflows.
  • Extend bootstrap.ps1 with -Laragon and optional -AppUrl for SQLite QA setup on a .test hostname.
  • Add composer run dev:laragon and dev-laragon.ps1 so Vite, queue, and logs run without php artisan serve.
  • Tune Vite dev-server HMR settings for pages served from a Laragon virtual host.
  • Document Laragon prerequisites, vhost setup, daily dev loop, and troubleshooting in README and AGENTS.md.

Affected areas

  • Local development documentation
  • Local bootstrap and dev launcher scripts
