Summary

The roadmap (Phase 1.1) specifies a flake.nix with Go 1.22+ toolchain and air for live reload. The flake.nix includes the air package, but there is currently no .air.toml config file in the repo. Without .air.toml, running air will use defaults that may not correctly watch the right directories or rebuild the server binary.

What to Do

  1. Add .air.toml to the project root with appropriate config:
    • cmd pointing to go build -o ./tmp/main ./cmd/server
    • bin set to ./tmp/main
    • Watch internal/, cmd/, static/, go.mod
    • Include .html and .go file extensions
  2. Verify nix develop succeeds without errors
  3. Run air in the dev shell and confirm live reload triggers on .go file changes
  4. Add a brief developer quickstart section to README.md (or create README.md) documenting nix develop && air

Acceptance Criteria

  • .air.toml exists at repo root with correct build cmd and watch paths
  • nix develop succeeds
  • air binary is available in the dev shell
  • Editing a .go file causes air to recompile and restart the server automatically
  • Developer workflow is documented in README.md

Roadmap Reference

Phase 1.1 — Project Scaffolding: "Create flake.nix with Go 1.22+ toolchain and air for live reload"

## Summary The roadmap (Phase 1.1) specifies a `flake.nix` with Go 1.22+ toolchain and `air` for live reload. The `flake.nix` includes the `air` package, but there is currently no `.air.toml` config file in the repo. Without `.air.toml`, running `air` will use defaults that may not correctly watch the right directories or rebuild the server binary. ## What to Do 1. Add `.air.toml` to the project root with appropriate config: - `cmd` pointing to `go build -o ./tmp/main ./cmd/server` - `bin` set to `./tmp/main` - Watch `internal/`, `cmd/`, `static/`, `go.mod` - Include `.html` and `.go` file extensions 2. Verify `nix develop` succeeds without errors 3. Run `air` in the dev shell and confirm live reload triggers on `.go` file changes 4. Add a brief developer quickstart section to `README.md` (or create `README.md`) documenting `nix develop && air` ## Acceptance Criteria - `.air.toml` exists at repo root with correct build cmd and watch paths - `nix develop` succeeds - `air` binary is available in the dev shell - Editing a `.go` file causes `air` to recompile and restart the server automatically - Developer workflow is documented in `README.md` ## Roadmap Reference Phase 1.1 — Project Scaffolding: "Create `flake.nix` with Go 1.22+ toolchain and `air` for live reload"

Repo Manager Triage (2026-03-28)

Priority: P2 | Size: Small | Assignee: AI-Engineer

This issue is unblocked. flake.nix exists at repo root but .air.toml is missing. The nix dev shell needs verification and air config likely needs to be created.

Note: nix is not available in the agent container environment, so full verification requires either a dev environment with nix or manual testing. The code portion (creating .air.toml if missing, updating flake.nix to include air) can be done by a developer.

Delegating to @developer for the code changes (add .air.toml, verify flake.nix includes air).

Repo Manager Status Update (2026-03-28):

This issue remains actionable and unblocked. The .air.toml file is still missing from the repo. Spawning @developer agent to create the .air.toml config and verify the dev shell workflow.

Note: The README.md portion of this issue overlaps with #148, which is being handled separately by @tech-writer.
