Correct what the local dev server actually does - #37
Conversation
Four published claims that a reader following them cannot reproduce. The Astro page said the integration serves redirects, rewrites, proxy rules, and response headers in the dev server, mirroring the Vite plugin. Redirects and headers are applied; rewrites and proxy rules fall through to Astro's own dev server by design and are served by the platform after a publish. The Vite plugin does serve all four, so the page now points there for full parity instead of claiming it. The Zero quick start said to open http://localhost:4173. The dev server is capability-gated: that URL serves a page whose only content is a note telling you to open the private URL sf dev printed. The guestbook webhook example failed the same way - every route needs the capability, so the curl needs an Authorization: Bearer header beside the endpoint's own secret. The services page described the transactional email guarantee with no local caveat, and did not say that sf dev brokers none of the three services. It now names the codes a local call throws and the one call (gravatar.avatarUrl) that needs no service, and states where the local transaction boundary differs from the published one.

The walkthrough told readers to sign the guestbook from the browser, but that mutation calls ctx.spam.check, which the local dev server answers with zero_spam_unavailable. The webhook path writes without any brokered service, so name the split instead of promising both. The capability claim was also too broad: the dev server serves the root HTML page without one, and gates everything else.

Both findings are correct. Fixed in The guestbook walkthrough. The capability claim. Right, "every route" was too broad and contradicted the quick start eleven lines up. Checks: Separately, I removed the Indent and Slack links from this PR's description. AGENTS.md:27-33 forbids private links and history in this repository and I should not have added them here. |
Spacefast.Spelling accepts Astro but not Astro's, and no other page uses the possessive form. Name the dev server instead of possessing it.

Items 2, 8, 13 (and the user-facing half of 7) from a local-development bug report. Each one is a published instruction that does not work as written, verified against the shipped packages rather than by reading prose.
guides/frameworks/astroclaimed four dev-server behaviours; two are realThe page said the integration "validates those files, serves the resulting redirects, rewrites, proxy rules, and response headers in the dev server" and "mirrors
@spacefast/vite-plugin". Measured againstastro dev:/redir-test→ 301, and response headers are applied — but a rewrite and a proxy rule both 404, because the shared dev middleware deliberately lets them fall through to the framework's own dev server, with a test asserting exactly that. The Vite plugin does implement all four, so the page now says which two are local, why the other two are not, and where to go for full parity. The Vite page's claims were accurate and are untouched.The Zero quick start opened a page whose only content is "go back and get the real URL"
The dev server is capability-gated. Every route except
/answers 401 without thezero-dev-capabilityfragment, and/returns a bootstrap shell whose script renders "Open the private dev-server URL printed by sf dev." So "Openhttp://localhost:4173" is a dead end for a first-run reader.The guestbook webhook example fails for the same reason:
The endpoint's own
x-webhook-secretcheck never runs, because the capability gate rejects the request first. The cookie flow cannot rescue acurleither:POST /__spacefast/zero/bootstrapenforces same-origin. Both examples now carry the capability, and the page says the published Space needs none.services/promised transactional email with no local caveat, and no note thatsf devbrokers nothingsf devprovides none of the three services:ctx.email,ctx.spam, andctx.gravatar.profilethrowzero_email_unavailable/zero_spam_unavailable/zero_gravatar_unavailable. That is why an example that spam-checks every write cannot run locally end to end.ctx.gravatar.avatarUrlis offline-computable and does work, which is worth saying because it looks like the same service.Locally the transaction boundary is also wider than the one declared: a throwing mutation or endpoint rolls back everything it wrote, including writes made outside
ctx.transaction(), an error you catch yourself leaves that block's writes in place, and actions get no rollback at all. Any of those makes a capsule that relies on rollback behave differently once published, so the page says it.Checks:
