 The Phoenix CLI (`phoenix` command) is the unified tool for all configurator development. It combines domain code generation, webhook building, deployment management, and development workflows into a single interface:
 
-- `phoenix init` - Start a new project with a working starter spec
+- `phoenix init` - Start a new project: a working starter spec and a `package.json` with the SDK, the packages it requires next to it, ESLint and Prettier
 - `phoenix dev` - Start the development server with hot reload
 - `phoenix build` - Build the configurator for production
-- `phoenix sync` - Synchronize dependencies and generated code
+- `phoenix sync` - Regenerate the generated code and project files
+- `phoenix deps` - Add the SDK's missing peer dependencies to `package.json` and move out-of-range ones into range
 - `phoenix check` - Validate domain configuration and code
 - `phoenix fix` - Auto-fix common issues in domain files

 Before diving into Phoenix Platform development, ensure you have:
 
-- **Node.js** and **pnpm** - Required versions are set automatically in the project
+- **Node.js 22.13 or newer** and **a package manager** - The SDK and the Phoenix CLI run on Node.js 22.13 or newer (see [Starting a New Project](?path=/docs/phoenix-phoenix-cli--docs#starting-a-new-project)). A project installs with any package manager; with pnpm 11 it needs the settings in [Package manager](?path=/docs/phoenix-project-structure--docs#package-manager)
 - **JavaScript/TypeScript** - Phoenix generates TypeScript code and uses modern JavaScript patterns
 - **React** - The platform builds on React components, hooks, and modern React patterns
 - **Three.js** - Basic knowledge of 3D graphics, scenes, cameras, and rendering concepts
 - **React Three Fiber** - Understanding of declarative 3D development and R3F component patterns
 
+The commands in this documentation use pnpm, as in `pnpm phoenix sync`. They work the same through any other package manager: `npx phoenix sync` with npm, `yarn phoenix sync` with Yarn, `bunx phoenix sync` with Bun.
+
 We assume you have working knowledge of these technologies before starting with Phoenix Platform. If you're new to any of these areas, we recommend familiarizing yourself with them first, as Phoenix Platform builds directly on these foundations.

-- Mount `SharedCanvas`, not `Canvas`: `Canvas` suspends while it probes the GPU on its first mount, and `SharedCanvas` holds the boundary that catches it. Without either, the app loader stays on screen unless the project sets `appLoader: legacy`.
+- Mount `SharedCanvas`, not `Canvas`: `Canvas` suspends while it probes the GPU on its first mount, and `SharedCanvas` holds the boundary that catches it. `SharedCanvas` also tells the app loader to wait for the scene from the moment it mounts; `Canvas` alone does so only once the probe is done, so the loader can leave and come back. A layout with neither is not held by the loader for a scene.
 - `SharedCanvas` fills its nearest positioned ancestor and paints an opaque background, so the layout positions its own UI after it in the markup.
-- Snackbars are raised by `Services`, and also by the built-in finalize and footer actions when their handler fails and when saving the configuration fails. A layout that shows violations, side-effect hints and validation errors its own way calls `phx.frontend.useConfiguratorMessages(onMessage)` instead of mounting `Services`, see [Configurator Interface → Hooks for a Project Layout](?path=/docs/phoenix-configurator-interface--docs#hooks-for-a-project-layout); the other snackbars still need a root. They render into the snackbar root the layout mounts; with no root mounted they render into the page's `document.body`, outside the configurator. The desktop root is a zero-height element the snackbars stack upwards from, so the layout places it where their bottom edge belongs. The phone root leaves them fixed to the viewport, see `MobileSnackbarsRoot`.

+When you run `deployment:prepare-local` or `deployment:prepare`, the CLI communicates with the Phoenix server, which generates environment variables and writes them to `.env.generated`. `phoenix dev` does the same for its development deployment when it starts.
+
+### The generated env file
+
+A project has one generated env file. Phoenix keeps it in `.phoenix/`, as `.phoenix/.env.generated`, unless the project has a `.env.generated` in its root, which then is the one that counts.
+
+- `phoenix dev` reads and writes `.phoenix/.env.generated` in a project without a root `.env.generated`, and creates no file in the project root. In a project that has a root `.env.generated`, it reads and writes that file and `.phoenix/.env.generated` is not used.
+- The deployment and environment commands (`deployment:prepare`, `deployment:prepare-dev`, `deployment:prepare-local`, `deployment:build-envs` and the others with an `--outFile` option) write `.env.generated` in the project root unless `--outFile` or `OUT_FILE` names another file. Deploy pipelines read it there. Once one of them has written it, `phoenix dev` and `phoenix build` use it.
+- Everything that reads environment variables follows the same rule: the root `.env.generated` when it exists, otherwise `.phoenix/.env.generated`. The two files are never merged.
+- `phoenix clean` removes `.phoenix/` and with it `.phoenix/.env.generated`; the next `phoenix dev` prepares the development deployment again. A root `.env.generated` stays.
+
+This holds for a project on the application-spec pipeline. In a project on the legacy pipeline (see [Current and legacy project tooling](#current-and-legacy-project-tooling)), `phoenix dev` always reads and writes `.env.generated` in the project root.

+Regenerates all project files without building Vite bundles or webhooks. Faster than `clean` — use this for routine updates after changing spec files or updating the SDK. It installs nothing: install with your package manager before syncing, after any change to `package.json`. It writes no package-manager settings; `pnpm-workspace.yaml` is the project's own. In a project on the legacy pipeline, `phoenix sync` runs `pnpm install` first.
 
 With the application-spec pipeline (see [Current and legacy project tooling](#current-and-legacy-project-tooling)), `.gitignore` is written only when the project is inside a git repository: the project folder or one of its parent folders holds a `.git` entry. Outside a repository, sync neither creates the file nor changes one that is already there, and the same holds for `dev`, `build` and `clean`. Run `git init` before the first sync, or sync again after it, to get the file. The legacy pipeline writes `.gitignore` in every project.
 
+With the application-spec pipeline, sync never writes `package.json`. Before it generates any file, it checks that `package.json` declares every peer of the installed SDK at a version inside the SDK's range, and stops with a non-zero exit code when it does not. The message lists each peer that fails, with the range the SDK needs and the version found, or `missing`, and names the fix: run [`phoenix deps`](#phoenix-deps), then install with your package manager. `phoenix build`, `phoenix clean` and `phoenix dev` make the same check, and so does the platform build of [`phoenix deploy`](#phoenix-deploy). `phoenix dev` stops when the check fails at start; on a rebuild it reports the failure like a spec error and keeps running. [Dependencies](?path=/docs/phoenix-project-structure--docs#dependencies) has the rules. The legacy pipeline merges the SDK's dependencies into `package.json` on every sync.

 To keep the conversation that led to a build, place a reviewed UTF-8 transcript in `conversation.log` at the project root before deploying. Deploy automatically includes it in the private source archive. Download the build's sources from Studio to read it; access is the same as for the rest of that build's sources. The build extractor skips the log, so it is not an application build input or a public asset. Missing logs produce a warning and deployment continues. Directories, links and special files at that path are rejected.
