Explanation

Issue #295 is active. The guide documents Node.js, pnpm, Rust, Python, installation, environment examples, frontend, backend, shared-package, contract, and ML commands. README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md link the guide. The root package.json confirms pnpm 9.15.9 and the documented root build, lint, and test scripts. No reviewable evidence shows that a clean checkout was set up or that every documented command was verified against the current workflows. The whole-PR diff read also failed, so workflow alignment cannot be independently confirmed.

Remove the embedded PostgreSQL credentials from the example.

postgres:postgres is a literal username/password pair. It conflicts with issue #295’s requirement for examples without credentials, even though the URI points to localhost. Use placeholders or keep the SQLite example only.

Make the pre-PR commands match the CI workflows.

The guide claims these are the exact CI checks, but the backend commands run root-wide recursive scripts instead of the guarded apps/backend commands used by CI. They can fail on unrelated workspace packages. The contracts commands add -D warnings, which CI does not use, and omit CI's no-buildable-crate guard. Mirror the CI working directories, guards, fallbacks, and command flags.

Invoke the official TruffleHog binary directly.

npx trufflehog filesystem . can execute the unrelated npm package trufflehog, which searches subreddit posts instead of scanning secrets. Install the official TruffleHog CLI, then run it directly. Apply the same correction in CONTRIBUTING.md.

- npx trufflehog filesystem .
