Host/instance configuration (domain, port, registry, global concurrency) lives in a .werkator.yml in the home directory of the user running the instance — one instance per OS user, matching the platform model; repo configuration stays in each repository's .git/werkator/. Repo-level instance keys get ignored with a warning once a home config exists. The open questions now name the decisions still needed: repo defaults in the home file, cwd-vs-registry precedence, repo naming, and whether the third .werkator.yml location should carry a distinct name.

Developer Setup
Source .envrc to add tools/ to your PATH, or install direnv to have this done automatically on cd:
source .envrc
Common tasks:
./gradlew build # compile and run all checks
./gradlew test # run tests
./gradlew ktlintFormat # auto-format Kotlin sources
./gradlew ktlintCheck # check formatting (also runs as part of build)
adr-status # show all architecture decisions at a glance
direnv
direnv sources .envrc automatically whenever you enter the repository and unloads it when you leave.
# Ubuntu
sudo apt install direnv
# add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
eval "$(direnv hook bash)" # or: eval "$(direnv hook zsh)"
Trust the project's .envrc once per clone:
direnv allow
