Self-hosting the local server core

Just want it running over HTTP? Follow the quickstart: bring up the API + admission gateway (SQLite metadata, filesystem object store), mint a token, and submit your first discovery run with curl or lawsynth.Client. The runnable Compose profile lives in deploy/quickstart.

lawsynth-server is a dependency-light Python domain core for local use and integration tests. It uses Python's standard-library SQLite adapter and atomic filesystem object storage. Application.dispatch() receives an in-process request dictionary; it is not itself an HTTP listener. The HTTP surface is the separate lawsynth-api process (a stdlib WSGI adapter that dispatches to this core); the domain's own lawsynth serve intentionally returns an unsupported-operation error.

Install the package in a Python 3.11+ environment, set PYTHONPATH=src while developing, and run python -m pytest -q tests from python/lawsynth-server. Configure a SQLite URL, an object root on a local filesystem, and explicit local bearer tokens. See architecture and authentication before exposing any adapter beyond a trusted machine.

Production HTTP/ASGI hosting, OAuth/OIDC verification, PostgreSQL, object-store signing, queues, worker execution, and distributed event delivery are deliberately unavailable here. Supply reviewed deployment-specific adapters for those concerns; do not infer support from the presence of domain routes.
