Set up and run the Donut dev environment on Cursor Cloud VM (no Nix). Use when working on Cloud VM, running tests on Cloud VM, or encountering command errors related to missing nix. Triggers on: cloud VM, cloud agent, no nix available, /workspace path.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

<objective>
Set up and run the Donut dev environment on Cursor Cloud VM without Nix.

Purpose: Cloud-agent development and testing when `nix develop` is unavailable.

Output: Environment ready for tests + summary ending with `## CLOUD VM READY`.
</objective>

<context>
**On Cloud VM: do NOT use `CURSOR_DEV=true nix develop -c` prefix. Run commands directly.**

**Pre-configured:** Node.js v26.13.0 and pnpm (pnpm follows root `packageManager`) — no nix needed.

**Ports:**

| Service | Port |
|---------|------|
| Spring Boot | 9081 |
| Local LB | 5173 |
| Vite dev | 5174 |
| MySQL | 3309 |
| Redis | 6380 |

`CI=1` is exported by the setup script (CLI PTY tests use pipe fallback, matching
GitHub Actions).
</context>

<process>

<step name="one_time_setup">
Backend + E2E one-time setup (idempotent — safe to re-run):

```bash
source /workspace/scripts/cloud_agent_setup.sh
```

Installs: Java 25, MySQL 8.4 (port 3309), Redis (port 6380), xvfb, and initializes
test databases.
</step>

<step name="frontend_tests">
```bash
pnpm frontend:test
```

Single file: `pnpm -C frontend test tests/path/to/TestFile.spec.ts` (no `--` before the path).
</step>

<step name="backend_tests">

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nerds-odd-e/doughnut/cloud-vm-setup@sha256:f243e31e8a01f813

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.6bb5c5b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
