+### Test `vp migrate` / `vp create` through a local npm registry
+
+`pnpm link` swaps the code inside an existing project, but `vp migrate` and `vp create` pin the exact CLI version and then _install_ it, so the checkout's `vite-plus` / `@voidzero-dev/vite-plus-core` must be resolvable from a registry. `packages/tools/src/local-npm-registry.ts` provides that: it packs the checkout, serves the tarballs behind a real registry HTTP interface, and proxies every other package upstream. This replaces the old pkg.pr.new publish + registry-bridge round-trip for local iteration; you can verify migrate/create logic immediately after a build.
+
+```bash
+pnpm build   # the served packages are built artifacts; rebuild after JS changes
+
+# One-shot: wrap any command (from the project you want to migrate)
+cd /path/to/test-project
+node /path/to/vite-plus/packages/tools/src/local-npm-registry.ts --pack -- vp migrate --no-interactive
+node /path/to/vite-plus/packages/tools/src/local-npm-registry.ts --pack -- vp create vite:application --no-interactive
+
+# Or keep a server running for repeated commands (from the vite-plus checkout)
+pnpm local-registry --pack --serve
+# copy the printed `export ...` lines into the shell where you run vp
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- The served versions carry an old publish time, so `minimumReleaseAge` gates never quarantine them, and wrapped runs get throwaway Yarn Berry / bun caches (both cache registry state in ways that would otherwise leak stale local builds between runs).
+- The same server backs the install snap fixtures (`localVitePlusPackages` in `steps.json`) and ecosystem e2e (`ecosystem-ci/patch-project.ts`), so a flow that works here works there too.
+- `pnpm local-registry:ps` lists any registry processes still running (e.g. a `--serve` you forgot, or a wrapper that was killed mid-run); `pnpm local-registry:kill` stops them all and removes their leftover temp caches.
+
 ### Global CLI (Rust) changes
 
 `pnpm link` only swaps the JS side; the `vp` binary on `PATH` (and the Rust-backed commands it handles directly, such as package-manager commands) is still whatever is installed in `~/.vite-plus`. For changes to the Rust global CLI (`crates/`), install it from source, and combine with `pnpm link` when the change spans both layers:
