Starting points built from this record, not transcripts of a run. Each prompt is written the way it should be sent, as one paragraph, and each is worth editing before you send it.

1. 01

   Stand it up from scratch

   You have read the record and want Fewer preview reloads while you edit working in a real project rather than a sandbox.

   Expected outcome

   A working setup, a plain list of what changed, and a short list of anything left for you to switch on. Check that list before assuming it is done.

   A direct yes or no with the reasoning, the cases against it, and one first step. Treat a hedged answer as a no.
