- Revised instructions for starting Automaker, changing from `npm run dev` to `npm run start` for production mode.
- Added a setup wizard for authentication on first run, with options for using Claude Code CLI or entering an API key.
- Clarified development mode instructions, emphasizing the use of `npm run dev` for live reload and hot module replacement.

**Note:** The `npm run start` command will:
- Check for dependencies and install if needed
- Install Playwright browsers for E2E tests
- Build the application if needed
- Kill any processes on ports 3007/3008
- Present an interactive menu to choose your run mode
- Run in production mode (no hot reload)
**Authentication Setup:** On first run, Automaker will automatically show a setup wizard where you can configure authentication. You can choose to:
- Use **Claude Code CLI** (recommended) - Automaker will detect your CLI credentials automatically
- Enter an **API key** directly in the wizard
If you prefer to set up authentication before running (e.g., for headless deployments or CI/CD), you can set it manually:
```bash
# Option A: Environment variable
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
# Option B: Create .env file in project root
echo "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-..." > .env
```
**For Development:** If you want to develop on Automaker with Vite live reload and hot module replacement, use `npm run dev` instead. This will start the development server with fast refresh and instant updates as you make changes.
