 ## Hard rules
 
-1. **Ask only REPLIT_SETUP.md questions 1–3** (see **Questionnaire scope**). Do not invent alternate setup questionnaires on Replit.
-2. **One questionnaire step at a time (Q1 → Q2 → Q3).** Wait for that step to finish before opening the next. **Inside** a step, use **one multi-field dialog** when collecting Secrets or branding — **never** field-by-field “Next” wizards.
-2a. **Q1 Supabase:** choice → **immediately** `SUPABASE_URL` input (same Question 1).

 2c. **Q3:** one dialog, **seven inputs stacked** (all optional).
 3. **Do not invent** Cloudinary credentials, Supabase URLs, or brand colours. **Do not ask** screen / device count.
 4. **Do not use Replit’s reserved `DATABASE_URL` Secret for Supabase.** On Replit, `DATABASE_URL` is often the **built-in Replit PostgreSQL** URL. For Supabase always use **`SUPABASE_URL`**. For built-in Replit Postgres, use **`DATABASE_URL`** with `TOMORROWOS_STORE=postgres`.
 4a. **If Supabase is chosen: never collect `SUPABASE_URL` twice.** One capture right after the choice is enough.

 4c. **`TOMORROWOS_STORE` + `DATABASE_SSL` are agent-owned.** After the Q1 choice (and URL if needed), set them yourself. Never ask the user to type those names/values.
-5. **Always seed with `npx @tomorrowos/sdk@latest init .`** (or merge `templates/cms-starter` from that same `@latest` install). **Never** run untagged `npx @tomorrowos/sdk init` — npx may reuse a stale cache and pin an old SDK. Do not rebuild pairing, WebSocket, or playlist APIs from scratch.
