Summary

This PR transforms the lacylights repo into a comprehensive orchestration platform that manages all three LacyLights components (frontend, backend, and MCP server). It provides a seamless experience for new users to get the entire LacyLights system running with minimal configuration.

Key Features Added

🚀 Setup and Launch Scripts

  • setup.sh: Automated setup that clones repos, installs dependencies, configures environment
  • start.sh: Service launcher with Docker management and browser auto-opening
  • stop.sh: Graceful shutdown for all services
  • logs.sh: Log viewer with filtering for different components
  • update.sh: Updates all repositories to latest versions

🖥️ Mac App Bundle

  • LacyLights.app: Double-click launcher with native macOS integration
  • First-run setup wizard with GUI dialogs
  • Auto-detection of GitHub organization from current repo
  • Interactive API key configuration

🔧 Intelligent Configuration

  • Auto-detects GitHub organization from current repository
  • Automatic Docker Desktop startup on macOS
  • Interactive OpenAI API key setup for AI features
  • Environment file generation with sensible defaults
  • Database container management with health checks

User Experience Improvements

Before

Users had to manually:

  1. Clone three separate repositories
  2. Install dependencies for each
  3. Configure environment files
  4. Start Docker manually
  5. Launch services in correct order
  6. Remember all the commands and ports

After

Users can now:

  1. Clone just the lacylights repo
  2. Double-click LacyLights.app or run ./setup.sh
  3. Enter their GitHub org (auto-detected) and API key
  4. Everything starts automatically with one command

Technical Details

Process Management

  • Proper process tracking with PID management
  • Graceful shutdown with cleanup on exit
  • Health checks for Docker and database readiness
  • Log aggregation with timestamped output

Cross-Platform Support

  • macOS app bundle with native dialogs
  • Shell scripts work on Linux/macOS
  • Docker Desktop integration on macOS
  • Fallback to command-line prompts

Error Handling

  • Comprehensive error checking and recovery
  • User-friendly error messages with solutions
  • Automatic retry logic for Docker startup
  • Graceful degradation when components are missing

Test Plan

  • Test fresh setup on clean system
  • Verify GitHub organization auto-detection
  • Test Docker startup automation
  • Confirm API key configuration flow
  • Validate Mac app bundle functionality
  • Test service startup and shutdown
  • Verify log viewing functionality
