# Verifying job-finder changes
## Launch
- Dev server: `yarn app:dev` (nodemon) or `yarn server:start`; serves at
`http://localhost:8000` (PORT env, default 8000). Check first — it's often
already running.
- In dev mode the UI is bundled from `src/ui` per request via esbuild
middleware, so UI edits are picked up on page reload — no rebuild step.
## Drive
- The app blocks on onboarding unless localStorage has
`ai-job-finder-storage` with `{"isOnboarded":true,...}`. To skip onboarding
in a fresh Playwright profile:
`localStorage.setItem('ai-job-finder-storage', JSON.stringify({ isOnboarded: true, settings: {} }))`
then reload. Restore `{"isOnboarded":false,"partialSettings":{}}` when done.
- Jobs data comes from `/api/jobs`, companies from `/api/companies` — both already
populated locally.
- Jobs-list view prefs persist under localStorage key `ai-job-finder-ui-prefs`.
## Gotchas
- Playwright MCP screenshots with relative paths land in the repo root, not
`.playwright-mcp/` — use absolute scratchpad paths.
- Job cards animate in (`cardIn`, staggered by index); screenshot right after
reload catches half-faded cards. Wait a beat before capturing.
- The server on :8000 is usually the user's own dev server — never kill or
restart it. Close the Playwright browser when done.
