Development

Backend

uv sync                    # install Python dependencies
python minihub/run.py      # start backend server on port 9007

The backend serves the API at http://localhost:9007. Bootstrap endpoint: http://localhost:9007/api/v1/graph/bootstrap

Frontend

cd minihub/ui
npm install                # install Node dependencies
npm run dev                # start Vite dev server on port 4097

The frontend runs at http://localhost:4097 and proxies API calls to the backend.

Running Tests

# Backend API tests
python -m pytest tests/api/ -v

# Backend SDK unit tests
cd flow-sdk/python && python -m pytest tests/ -v

# Frontend build + lint
cd minihub/ui && npm run build && npm run lint

Deployment

Use the deploy script to bump version, tag, push, and validate:

./scripts/deploy_to_github.sh              # runs tests first
./scripts/deploy_to_github.sh --skip-tests # skip tests

This will:

1. Increment the patch version in _version.py
2. Run tests (unless --skip-tests)
3. Commit and tag the release
4. Push to GitHub
5. Install from GitHub and validate the version
