Alpha Setup Guide

Historical Astro API-only reference — 0.1 line. The former setup flow on this page does not describe the current 0.2 multi-platform adapters, receiver-owned publication queue, or connection-secret workflow. Do not use old publish-new, sync-existing, publish-and-sync, import-existing, or check-discourse commands for a new installation.

Use the current documentation instead:

1. Alpha Installation and Operator Guide for the end-to-end installation and acceptance sequence.
2. Platform Profiles for platform-specific package and runtime requirements.
3. Adapter Operating Models for native objects, claim limits, leases, worker cadence, acknowledgement, and recovery.
4. Presentation Modes for Simple, Full, and Interactive presentation.
5. Key Management for connection secrets and other protected credentials.
6. Troubleshooting for current queue and adapter triage.

Existing 0.1 Astro Estates

An already-installed 0.1 estate may still require its matching immutable release documentation. Before operating it, record the exact package version, source commit, artifact hash, lockfile binding, forum, public origin, and rollback point. Use only the documentation shipped with that exact artifact.

The former import-existing command belongs to that legacy toolchain. On the reviewed legacy line it wrote source-mode metadata and discussionSync: false. Verify the generated guard before any later write; do not assume that a current 0.2 adapter exposes the command.

Use interactive in all new configuration. During the compatibility window, adapters may accept the historical fullInteractive value and normalize it to interactive. It is not a separate current presentation mode.

Never paste an API key, connection secret, provider token, or database credential into a public command, page, support request, screenshot, or Git.
