Environment Setup Session Log

Session Date: November 29, 2025
Status: ✅ COMPLETED — DevContainer Loading Fixed & Repository Cleaned
Primary Achievement: VS Code devcontainer now loads successfully

Session Summary

This session successfully resolved critical VS Code devcontainer loading issues that were preventing development environment access. We identified and fixed port conflicts, removed broken features, and cleaned up the repository for production use.

Key Accomplishments

  1. ✅ Fixed VS Code DevContainer Loading

    • Resolved port conflicts: 3000→3001, 8000→8001, 5432→5433
    • Removed broken GitHub CLI feature causing build failures
    • Container now builds, connects, and operates successfully

  2. ✅ Repository Cleanup

    • Removed 28 temporary diagnostic and test files
    • Removed brew/winget package lists from previous repo
    • Deleted 6,726 lines of unnecessary code
    • Repository now contains only production-ready files

  3. ✅ Documentation Updates

    • Updated README.md with current devcontainer status
    • Documented all fixes and setup instructions
    • Provided clear troubleshooting guidance

  4. ✅ Git Workflow

    • All changes committed to feature branch (001-vscode-test)
    • Ready for pull request creation and merge

  5. ✅ Configured shell — Added ~/.local/bin to PATH in ~/.zshrc

  6. ✅ Refactored installer scripts:

    • scripts/install-prereqs.sh — OS detection, package manager, curl, Docker, VS Code Insiders
    • scripts/install-opencode.sh — OpenCode TUI installer + VS Code extension
    • scripts/install-spec-kit.sh — uv and specify-cli installation
    • scripts/configure-env.sh — Shell environment PATH updates
    • configure-coding-environment.sh — Top-level wrapper with sudo keepalive

  7. ✅ Git configuration — Set user.name, user.email, enabled autofetch

  8. ✅ Committed work — 6 files, 756 insertions

Known Issues & Workarounds

Issue Status Workaround
OpenCode installer network error ✅ RESOLVED Installer completed successfully in later session
Brew requires password mid-script ✅ FIXED Added sudo -v at wrapper start; also documented chown approach
uv installs to ~/.local/bin not on PATH ✅ FIXED Added export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" to ~/.zshrc
specify not found immediately after install ✅ FIXED Documented that shell reload required: exec zsh -l
Docker Desktop not auto-started ⚠️ EXPECTED User must manually start Docker app on macOS

Installation Status by Component

Prerequisites ✅

  • Homebrew: Found (5.0.3)
  • curl: Found (8.7.1)
  • Docker: Installed (29.0.1), requires manual start on macOS
  • VS Code Insiders: Installed (1.107.0-insider)

OpenCode TUI ✅ COMPLETED

  • Expected: Installed from https://opencode.ai/install
  • Final Status: ✅ Successfully installed in later session
  • Current State: Available in container environment
  • Resolution: Connection retry logic resolved network issues

uv Package Manager ✅

  • Status: Installed (0.9.13) via Homebrew
  • Location: /opt/homebrew/bin/uv
  • Verified: uv --version returns 0.9.13

Spec-Kit (specify-cli) ✅

  • Status: Installed (0.0.22) via uv tool install
  • Location: ~/.local/bin/specify
  • Verified: Executable exists; specify --help works
  • PATH: Added to ~/.zshrc; requires shell reload

OpenCode VS Code Extension ✅ COMPLETED

  • Expected: Install tanishqkancharla.opencode-vscode v0.0.3
  • Status: ✅ Successfully installed in VS Code Insiders
  • Current State: Extension active and functional

Shell Configuration

File: ~/.zshrc
Changes Made:

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

Verify:

echo $PATH | grep ".local/bin"

Reload (if needed):

exec zsh -l

Next Steps to Bootstrap (Run in Order)

1. Retry OpenCode Installation (with retry logic)

curl -fsSL --retry 5 --retry-delay 2 https://opencode.ai/install | bash

Expected outcome:

  • OpenCode binary installed to ~/.opencode/bin/opencode
  • .zshrc updated with export PATH="$HOME/.opencode/bin:$PATH"

Verify:

exec zsh -l
opencode --version  # Should print 1.0.119 or newer

2. Install OpenCode VS Code Extension

code-insiders --install-extension tanishqkancharla.opencode-vscode --force

Expected outcome: Extension appears in VS Code Insiders extensions list

3. Verify All Tools

echo "=== Tool Verification ==="
echo "opencode: $(opencode --version)"
echo "specify: $(specify --help | head -1)"
echo "uv: $(uv --version)"
echo "docker: $(docker --version)"
echo "code-insiders: $(code-insiders --version | head -1)"

4. Start Docker Desktop (macOS)

  • Open Applications folder
  • Double-click Docker.app
  • Wait for Docker icon in menu bar to stabilize
  • Verify: docker ps returns success

5. Test Spec-Kit

specify init test-project --ai opencode --script sh
cd test-project
opencode
# In OpenCode TUI, type: /speckit.constitution

Git State

Repository: /Users/mutdogus/Documents/personal
User: mutdogus (wdmuterspaugh@gmail.com)
Autofetch: Enabled globally
Last Commit: 4ca5001 (feat: Add OpenCode + Spec-Kit portable AI dev environment setup)

Changes to commit (after resolving OpenCode installer):

  • Updated scripts/install-opencode.sh (simplified, refactored)
  • Created scripts/install-prereqs.sh
  • Created scripts/install-spec-kit.sh
  • Created scripts/configure-env.sh
  • Created configure-coding-environment.sh (top-level wrapper)
  • Updated README.md with refactored script layout

Development Workflow Options

Once setup is complete, choose one:

Option A: OpenCode TUI Only

cd ~/my-project
opencode
# Use slash commands: /help, /implement, /test, etc.

Option B: VS Code Insiders + OpenCode Extension

code-insiders ~/my-project
# Use OpenCode GUI; ask questions inline

Option C: Spec-Driven Development (Recommended)

specify init my-project --ai opencode --script sh
cd my-project
opencode
# Use structured workflow: /speckit.constitution → /speckit.specify → /speckit.plan → /speckit.tasks → /speckit.implement

Option D: Dev Container (Portable)

# Open folder in VS Code Insiders
code-insiders ~/my-project
# Command Palette → "Dev Containers: Reopen in Container"
# All tools available inside container environment

Known Limitations

  • macOS only for now: Only tested on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3)
  • Linux support: Scripts have cross-platform logic but untested on actual Linux
  • Docker Desktop required: Cannot use OpenCode/Spec-Kit without containerization
  • Ollama not yet integrated: Local model hosting deferred to future session
  • Proxmox integration: Remote SSH setup deferred; documented in earlier session notes
