redefined-designs/scripts/start-local.ps1

#Requires -Version 7
<#
.SYNOPSIS
    Starts the Redefined Designs stack locally for testing and review.

.DESCRIPTION
    Brings up a Postgres container, runs migrations, builds and starts the
    backend, and starts the Vite dev server. Safe to run repeatedly: an
    existing container is reused rather than recreated, and processes already
    listening are left alone.

    Logs and process ids go to .local/ at the repository root.

.PARAMETER Fresh
    Drop the database container and its data before starting, so migrations
    run against an empty database.

.PARAMETER Stop
    Stop the backend, the dev server and the database container, then exit.

.PARAMETER DbPort
    Host port for Postgres. Change it if something already holds the default.

    .\scripts\start-local.ps1
    .\scripts\start-local.ps1 -Fresh
    .\scripts\start-local.ps1 -Stop
