dev-desktop-sandbox
Desktop (Electron) sandbox instances
make dev + make start (Electron) uses MUX_ROOT for persisted state (config, sessions, worktrees, etc.). Running multiple Electron instances against the same mux root is noisy and risky during development.
This skill documents the repo workflow for starting multiple desktop dev instances in parallel (including from different git worktrees) by giving each instance its own temporary MUX_ROOT.
Quick start
make dev-desktop-sandbox
What it does
- Creates a fresh temporary
MUX_ROOTdirectory - Copies these files into the sandbox if present (unless disabled by flags):
providers.jsonc(provider config)config.json(project list)
- Picks free ports:
