- Decision: The demo recording workflow should be live and reset-backed, not only credential-free command tours.
- Destructive guard: Recording must go through a script that warns the user and requires an explicit confirmation before running
make wipe-infra. - Tape order: Record separate tapes for
make start-infra, database upgrade, load fixtures plus a no-op embedding generation/check, and server startup. - Verification boundary: Do not run tests or VHS recordings during implementation. The user will run the tapes with the generated Makefile/script entrypoint.
