Frappe Full-Stack App Builder

Global Rules

• Use bare bench. Not ./env/bin/bench. Not a full path.
• Do not run which bench, bench --version, bench --help, or check frappe version. No discovery commands.
• Do not delegate bench detection to a subagent. Run ls apps/ sites/ Procfile yourself.
• Do not create DocType folders with mkdir. Frappe creates them via bench migrate.
• Run bench start in a background process only.
• Before running bench start, check if it's already running in an existing terminal. Do not start a second instance.
• Always pass --site <site> explicitly to bench commands. Never run bare bench migrate.
