+**Your second priority is getting the application built and running.** Without a running app, you cannot verify anything meaningful.
 
-Use the command from commands.md. **Prefer Docker Compose** if documented:
+**You MUST use Docker Compose to build and run the application.** This is the only supported method. Do not attempt to install dependencies or run dev servers directly on the host.
+
+#### Step 2a: Tear Down Any Existing Containers
+
+Always start clean by tearing down any existing containers:
+
+```bash
+docker compose down
+```
+
+#### Step 2b: Build and Start
+
+Build fresh images and start all services:
 
 ```bash
-# If Docker Compose is documented:
-docker compose up -d
+docker compose up -d --build
+```
+
+The `--build` flag ensures images are rebuilt with the latest code changes from the PR.
+
+#### Step 2c: Verify Services Are Running
 
-# Check if service is ready
+```bash
 docker compose ps
 ```
 
-If Docker Compose isn't documented, use whatever dev server command is in commands.md.
+Confirm all services show as "Up" or "running". Check commands.md for the application URL (e.g., `http://localhost:3000`).
 
-**If the documented command doesn't work, STOP and escalate immediately.** See the "Escalation: Cannot Run Application" section below.
+**Wait for the application to be ready** before proceeding. You may need to poll the URL or check container logs:
+
+```bash
+docker compose logs --tail=50
+```
+
+#### If Docker Compose Fails → FAIL THE PR
+
+If `docker compose up -d --build` fails for ANY reason, you **MUST** fail the PR with `❌ CHANGES REQUESTED`. Document:
+- The exact `docker compose` command you ran
+- The full error output
+- Which service(s) failed to start
+- What the Developer needs to fix
+
+This gives the Developer actionable information to resolve the issue. Do NOT approve, do NOT skip E2E. A PR where `docker compose up -d --build` fails is a broken PR.
 
 ### 3. E2E Verification with Playwright (REQUIRED)
 
 **This is mandatory for virtually all changes.** You MUST launch a browser and verify the application works.
 
-**Always use Playwright for:**
-- ANY change that affects runtime behavior
-- UI/CSS/frontend changes
-- API changes (verify via UI or API testing tools)
-- Backend changes that affect user-visible behavior
-- Configuration changes
-- Dependency updates
+**You must perform at minimum a basic E2E smoketest for EVERY PR. No exceptions.**
 
-**The ONLY exceptions (rare):**
-- Pure documentation changes (README, comments only)
-- Test file changes with no runtime impact
-- CI/CD configuration changes
+This means for EVERY PR — including backend-only changes, dependency updates, configuration changes, and even changes that appear to only affect tests or documentation — you must:
+1. Build and launch the application
+2. Navigate to it in Playwright
+3. Verify the application loads and basic functionality works (smoketest)
+4. Then verify any PR-specific acceptance criteria
+
+**Why even backend-only changes?** Backend changes can break the frontend in unexpected ways. A dependency update can cause build failures. A config change can prevent the app from starting. The smoketest catches all of this. If the app builds, starts, and loads — that alone is valuable verification.
+
+**There are NO exceptions to the smoketest requirement.** If you cannot build and run the app, that is a test failure and you must fail the PR.
 
 **Do not skip E2E verification because:**
 - "Unit tests pass" - unit tests are not enough
 - "Code review looks good" - reading code is not verification
 - "It's a small change" - small changes break things too
+- "It's a backend-only change" - backend changes can break the frontend
+- "It only changes tests" - verify the app still builds and runs
 - "The dev server is hard to start" - escalate this, don't skip
