Use when running pynchy locally — running the app, tests, linting, formatting, prek hooks, or rebuilding the agent container. Also use when determining whether you're on the live Pynchy host or a local machine, and for debugging agent behavior-- session transcript branching, inspecting message history and agent traces in SQLite, pytest hangs, or diagnosing known codebase issues.

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

# Pynchy Development

Run commands directly—don't tell the user to run them.

## Am I on pynchy?

Check `hostname` and compare it with the deployment-specific live host from local memory, environment, or the operator. If you are on that host, access services at `localhost`. Otherwise, reach Pynchy over SSH or Tailscale using that configured host.

## Commands

```bash
uv run pynchy            # Run the app
uv run pytest tests/     # Run tests
uv run ruff check --fix src/  # Lint + autofix
uv run ruff format src/       # Format
uvx prek==0.4.10 run --all-files  # Run all repository hooks
./src/pynchy/agent/build.sh     # Rebuild agent container
```

## Managed worktrees and optional runtimes

Use `new-feature create <slug> --no-agent` from the control checkout before any source or
documentation edit. Work in the resulting `.worktrees/<slug>` directory; direct edits on the
target branch are blocked. Setup installs dependencies but does not start a runtime. Start
an isolated Pynchy runtime only when interactive diagnosis needs one.
See [the feature-runtime workflow](../../../docs/contributing/new-feature.md) for create, merge,
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add crypdick/pynchy/Pynchy Development@sha256:3f34c8dc9d346dbe

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260906.dbbbed4, 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.
