Returning 'local' for :localhost makes ProfileManager.addProfile() treat @user:localhost as a known environment, so the non-interactive path (boxel profile add -u ... -p ...) no longer requires explicit URLs and silently falls back to the staging defaults (https://matrix-staging.stack.cards and https://realms-staging.stack.cards/). In practice, local profiles created this way point to staging endpoints and break local auth/workflows; addProfile needs a local default branch (or localhost should remain unknown until that branch exists).
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Let's make sure to update the software-factory README.md to describe the end to end flow for running the factory. right now it's using env vars instead of relying on the boxel-cli profile |

When testing boxel-cli locally I needed an option to save a profile that works in a local setup. I think it would be beneficial to others too.
