Local CRE

Local CRE is the developer environment for building, running, and testing CRE workflows locally. It covers the environment lifecycle in core/scripts/cre/environment and the smoke-test flows in system-tests/tests/smoke/cre.

Use this doc set when you need to:

• bootstrap a local CRE stack on Docker or Kubernetes
• choose or inspect a topology
• deploy or debug workflows
• run or extend CRE smoke tests
• understand how the test helpers interact with a running Local CRE environment
• reuse repo-local agent guidance for Local CRE under docs/local-cre/agent-skills/local-cre-e2e/
