OpenRAG local dev stack

The local dev setup has three parts that normally run in three terminals. As an agent, run them from one session: part 1 is a detached Docker command, parts 2 and 3 are long-running processes you must launch in the background (however your runtime runs a command without blocking) and monitor.

Run everything from the repo root.

1. Infrastructure (OpenSearch, Langflow, Dashboards)

make dev-local-cpu

• Builds langflow/opensearch images if needed, then starts containers detached — the command itself exits when containers are up. Run it in the foreground (first run can take several minutes if images need building; use a generous timeout).
• Endpoints: Langflow http://localhost:7860, OpenSearch http://localhost:9200, Dashboards http://localhost:5601.
• Verify with docker compose ps — expect opensearch, dashboards, and langflow containers running/healthy. Wait for OpenSearch to be healthy before starting the backend.

2. Backend (host process)
