 | `mesh deploy ...` | passthrough | Runs `pulumi` with the stack's `mesh:deployerRole` assumed. Unknown opts/args pass through; defaults to `up` if no subcommand. | `-s/--stack <name>` (stripped before pulumi `up`); everything else → pulumi (`preview`, `up --yes`, `destroy`, `stack output …`) |
 | `mesh dev` | `logs <service>`, `restart <service>`, `list`, `test-user [name]` | Two modes. **Tethered** (deployed stack): reads the Pulumi stack dev output, opens tunnels, injects Secrets Manager secrets; needs VPN/AWS creds. **Local** (`--local`, auto when the app has no `Pulumi.yaml`): synthesizes services from the app layout (subdirs with a `dev` script, plus a synthesized `dg dev` webserver when the app root is a Dagster workspace — `dg.toml`, or `[tool.dg]` in `pyproject.toml`; such an app runs with zero package.json services — see `docs/guides/local-dagster.md`) and wires them to the `mesh start` platform (Temporal `local-dev`, app DB, Zitadel, ministack via `AWS_ENDPOINT_URL`) — zero AWS/VPN/Pulumi. `--externals` (local mode; `--mock` is an alias) also realizes the app's declared external services (package.json → `mesh.externals`; legacy `mesh.mocks` still read). Each declaration runs in one of three MODES — `mock` (the service is emulated: `openapi` → a Prism mock server from a spec, or `src` → a mock process), `local` (a local version of the real service: a `compose` file + published `port`, e.g. a vendor-shaped DB — up `--wait` before the app's services; a realization another checkout already started is **adopted** instead of failing — declared port already served **by a container this compose file defines** → adopt as-is (a publisher the file doesn't define — a native install or unrelated container — is a hard **conflict**, never adopted, since credentials would seed against the wrong service); a stopped foreign container holding the compose `container_name` → `docker start` + adopt — so startup order across checkouts doesn't matter; adopted externals stay out of session state and `--kill` tears down only externals this session created, volumes kept), `remote` (connect to the ACTUAL service: inline vendor `credentials`, or the credentials the app's tenant environment is configured with via `remote.env`). A declaration may carry SEVERAL realizations; `mode` picks the default and `--externals name=mode` overrides it per run (`--externals plaid-db=remote,plaid`). Remote externals get a blackbox uptime probe against their real endpoint. Failing to realize a remote external is fatal only when you named it; a bare `--externals` warns and keeps going, so the local loop still works with no AWS identity. Every realization seeds its ExternalService credential secret (`{{url}}`/`{{host}}`/`{{port}}` from the stand-in's endpoint, `{{env:VAR}}` from the shell) so `resolveCredentials()` runs the deployed code path against the stand-in.

 | `mesh hub` | `dev` | One-command local Hub over a running dev-local stack. Launches the CURRENT-CODE Hub (apps/hub api+ui from a mesh-platform checkout) pointed at an existing `mesh dev` session — auto-assembles `HUB_TENANT`/`HUB_SCOPE_ENV`/`HUB_SCOPE_TENANTS` (session platform context), `TEMPORAL_ADDRESS` (session tunnel), `AWS_*` (session scratch profile), `DEV_USER_*`+`DEV_USER_TOKEN_URL` (session dev identity; starts its own token-server if the session predates it, so tokens stay fresh past ~1h). Refuses to launch with an empty tenant scope (which the Hub renders as silently blank). Runs in tmux session `mesh-hub-dev`. | `dev`: `--session <name>`, `--tenants <csv>`, `--port` (or `MESH_HUB_DEV_PORT`, default 9000; the containerized `mesh start` Hub uses the separate `MESH_HUB_PORT`), `--api-port <3002>`, `--platform-dir <dir>` (or `MESH_PLATFORM_DIR`), `--print-env`, `--kill` |
 | `mesh create-app` | — | Scaffold a tenant app. Composable mode (primitives) or legacy template mode. Interactive when TTY + missing flags. Run at the root of an **empty** `{tenant}-mesh-apps` git clone (a `.git` with no `package.json`/`apps/`/`tenants/` and no enclosing pnpm workspace), it first generates the repo-level shape — `pnpm-workspace.yaml` over `apps/*`, private root `package.json`, scoped-registry `.npmrc`, base `tsconfig.json`, `.gitignore`, `README.md`, `apps/` — then scaffolds the app. Never overwrites an existing file. | `--tenant`, `--name`, `--primitives <csv>` (`service,database,temporal,bucket`), `--template <workflow\|api-auth\|api-role-gating\|external-service>`, `--test` (writes to `tests/tenants/`) |
 | `mesh app` | `check [apps...]` | Checks tenant apps against the **Mesh app contract** (`@mesh-tech/app-kit#apps` → `references/app-contract.md`): a UI is its own Service (`UI_IN_API`, `NO_UI_SERVICE`), the app registers with the Hub (`NO_REGISTER`), sign-in goes through the platform proxy (`CUSTOM_SESSION_AUTH`), logs go through `@mesh-tech/logger` (`NON_PLATFORM_LOGGER`), and people/roles/keys are surfaced through the Hub (`NO_AUTHZ_POINTER`, `METADATA_UNPUBLISHED`, `IAC_GRANTS`, `PASSWORD_STORE`, `EMAIL_ALLOWLIST`, `USERS_TABLE`); a tenant-local auth lib is advisory (`LOCAL_AUTH_LIB`), as is a pointer that names its own Zitadel project instead of binding the env with `zitadelAppProjectId` (`POINTER_PROJECT_OVERRIDE`). One check per code on the `mesh dev doctor` engine; exit 1 on any BLOCK. The SAME gate `mesh create-app` runs after scaffolding, tenant CI runs beside `mesh skills sync --check`, and the platform reviewer runs on a PR. Default: every `apps/*` with a Pulumi program. | `[apps...]` (repo-relative dirs), `--root <dir>`, `--json`, `--verbose` |

+**This is the whole loop for a local-only tenant** — a `mesh.json` with
+`platform: local`, or no platform recorded yet. `mesh start` brings up the
+platform the app needs (Zitadel, Temporal, Postgres, the local AWS fabric, the
+Hub) and prints a `★ Start here` block with the seeded sign-in and the local
+mailbox; `mesh status` reprints it. No stack, no deployer role, no VPN.
+`create-app` prints this same order at the end of a scaffold, chosen from the
+tenant's `mesh.json`.
+
+**When the tenant deploys to a Mesh platform**, the stack and the deployer
+role replace `mesh start` — they need a platform to exist, so they come after
+it, not before:
+
+```bash
 mesh stack init              # personal dev-{github-user} stack (deploy:false)
 mesh deploy up --yes         # pulumi up via mesh:deployerRole
-mesh dev                     # tunnels + secrets + tmux (needs VPN for VPC access)
-mesh dev logs api            # tail one service;  mesh dev --kill to stop
+mesh dev                     # run locally against the platform (needs VPN for VPC access)
