Using Recess

- Library: create, rename, reopen, duplicate, and delete sites.
- Starting points: blank WordPress, a seeded blog, an editable block-theme starter, and a small plugin starter.
- Preview / WordPress Admin: navigate the same running WordPress instance.
- Files: browse sandbox directories, read/edit files, and install plugin/theme ZIPs.
- Console: run PHP, supported WP-CLI commands, and inspect PHP debug logs. WP-CLI is not an operating-system terminal.
- Blueprint: validate, save, export, and launch setup recipes. Bundle exports retain their original resources.
- Snapshots: save named checkpoints, download them, or restore into a new site.
- Backups: explicitly upload an exported site ZIP into OpenStation's desktop file storage, subject to its ownership and size limits.
- Open with Recess: import JSON/ZIP desktop files through the framework's file opener.
WordPress/PHP version choices are installation inputs. Use fresh sites to compare WordPress versions. A site's original Blueprint is never rerun just because it is reopened.
