notes: >-
  Kurrent has no hosted sandbox tenant and no test-vs-live key prefixes, because KurrentDB is a
  database you run rather than a shared multi-tenant API. Its equivalent of a sandbox is a
  disposable local instance — a documented Docker one-liner that starts an insecure single node
  with projections and AtomPub enabled. Every value below is published verbatim by Kurrent; none
  has been invented.
model: local-instance
test_live_separation:
  key_prefixes: none
  detail: >-
    There are no test-mode credentials or key prefixes. Isolation comes from running a separate
    instance — typically a local container for development and a Kurrent Cloud cluster or
    self-hosted cluster for production.
local_instance:
  method: docker
  command: >-
    docker run --name kurrentdb-node -it -p 2113:2113
    docker.kurrent.io/kurrent-latest/kurrentdb:latest
    --insecure --run-projections=All --enable-atom-pub-over-http
  image: docker.kurrent.io/kurrent-latest/kurrentdb:latest
  connection_string: kurrentdb://localhost:2113?tls=false
  web_ui: http://localhost:2113
  http_api: http://localhost:2113
  flags:
  - flag: --insecure
    effect: Disables TLS and authentication. Development only — never use in production.
  - flag: --run-projections=All
    effect: Enables the projections subsystem, required for projections and for the MCP server.
  - flag: --enable-atom-pub-over-http
    effect: >-
      Enables the AtomPub HTTP API, which is off by default in recent versions. Required to use
      openapi/kurrent-kurrentdb-http-api-openapi.yml against the instance.
