+## Cursor Cloud specific instructions
+
+See also [.cursor/CLOUD.md](.cursor/CLOUD.md) for the command quick reference.
+
+### Node and Bun on the VM
+
+The default `node` on Cursor Cloud VMs may be `/exec-daemon/node` (older than the
+repo’s `^24` requirement). Use nvm Node 24 and Bun on your `PATH` before running
+scripts, for example:
+
+```bash
+export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
+[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
+nvm use 24
+export PATH="$HOME/.nvm/versions/node/v24.16.0/bin:$HOME/.bun/bin:$PATH"
+```
+
+Install Bun once if missing: `curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash`
+
+### First-time database setup
+
+After `bun install`, run `bun run setup:env` (copies `.env.example`, migrates
+SQLite, generates Prisma client). Optional full local bootstrap:
+`bun run setup:local` (build, seed, Playwright Chromium).
+
+### Dev server
+
+`bun run dev` serves on port 3000 with `MOCKS=true` (MSW mocks Twilio/Stripe).
+Use a tmux session for long-running dev.
+
+### Seeded demo account
+
+After `bunx prisma db seed`, log in as username `kody` / password `kodylovesyou`
+and open `/recipients` to exercise the core product flow.
+
+### Playwright in this environment
+
+`bunx playwright install --with-deps chromium` can stall after the download
+reaches 100%. If browser binaries are incomplete, kill stuck install processes,
+remove `~/.cache/ms-playwright/__dirlock`, and retry—or run UI checks with
+`chromium.launch({ channel: 'chrome' })` using the system Google Chrome package.
