Run the MellonAI appliance

This environment is for engineers and testers who need to validate redactor-svc locally before Lovable orchestrates it in production.

Use the local admin password to unlock pairing, test user management, credit grants, and dev-only auth so you can iterate without touching customer data.

Once paired, Lovable handles real users and IdP logins. Locally you can focus on appliance health, pairing bundles, and manual QA.

What developers validate here

Pair appliances with Lovable. Generate challenges, redeem credentials, and export bundles from the Admin ▸ Pairing tab before wiring up the orchestrator.
Prototype identity locally. Toggle AUTH_MODE=local, mint test users/tokens, and confirm the extension’s developer mode matches what production OIDC will expect.
Exercise credits & observability. Test plan switches, usage accounting, and Grafana dashboards so your automation scripts know how the service behaves.

Local developer checklist

Use these steps whenever you spin up a fresh appliance for sandbox or CI usage.

Set the local admin password. Click Sign in at the top right of any page.
Review .env flags. For local auth set AUTH_MODE=local and provide DEV_SHARED_SECRET.
Visit Admin ▸ Pairing. Generate a challenge when Lovable needs to pair, or download the existing bundle for extensions.
Create test users. Use the Users tab to mint tokens with the roles/labels you need.
Grant credits. Switch plans or top up balances from the Credits tab to mimic orchestrator behavior.
Load the extension. Import the bundle (or enable developer mode) on the Options page, then sign in.
