Docs / Install

Install locally.

The current build is source-installable on macOS and is not notarized.

Prerequisites

Python 3.12, uv, Node 24, pnpm 11, Git and an installed authenticated Codex application.

pnpm setup
pnpm doctor
pnpm test
dovet init-state
dovet serve

Background service

dovet service install creates an opt-in per-user launchd service. The local ledger and checkpoints remain after uninstall so recovery evidence is not silently deleted.

Cloud recovery

Bedrock is disabled until AWS credentials, a model invocation probe and an explicit budget are configured. Local checkpoint tests do not claim cloud readiness.
