## Development

If you're contributing to this project, run the initial setup script to install git hooks:
If you're contributing to this project, install the development dependencies from an editable checkout:

```bash
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

Then run the same checks locally that the pre-push hook and CI use:

```bash
# Lint and format
python -m ruff check src/ tests/ --fix
python -m ruff format src/ tests/

# Typecheck source files
python -m mypy src/

# Run tests
python -m pytest tests/
```

You can also run the initial setup script to install git hooks:

```bash
./scripts/initial-setup.sh
```

This installs a pre-push hook that runs lint checks before pushing, matching the CI workflow. To skip the hook temporarily, use `git push --no-verify`.

PR titles should use Conventional Commits, such as `fix: handle missing session id` or `docs: clarify development setup`.
