## Local CI Verification

Before pushing code or opening a PR, verify changes pass CI locally using `act`.

### Prerequisites
- Docker must be running
- If `act` is not installed, run: `bash scripts/act/install-act.sh`

### How to Verify

1. Read `.github/workflows/` to find the CI workflow and identify the job ID
2. Run the verification script:
   ```bash
   bash scripts/act/run-act.sh "push -j <JOB_ID>"

rm -f act_output.log
git checkout <any unintended file changes>

### Step 3: Update .gitignore

Append these entries to `.gitignore` if they don't already exist:

### Step 4: Print next steps for the user

Tell the user:
1. Docker must be installed and running on any machine (or Jules VM) where verification runs
2. `act` will be auto-installed on first use via `scripts/act/install-act.sh`
3. If workflows require secrets, create a `.secrets` file (KEY=VALUE format) — never commit it
4. Commit all generated files

## Troubleshooting

- **Docker not running**: `act` requires Docker. Ensure the Docker daemon is started.
- **Image pull slow**: First run downloads ~2GB+. Use `-P ubuntu-latest=node:20-bookworm` for faster pulls.
- **ARM64 issues**: On Apple Silicon, add `--container-architecture linux/amd64` to act arguments.
- **Secrets required**: Create a `.secrets` file and pass `--secret-file .secrets` in the act arguments.
- **Timeout**: Increase with `ACT_TIMEOUT=1200 bash scripts/act/run-act.sh "..."`.
