## Local development and deployment
48

            
49
Work on application code locally, commit changes, then deploy to jumper:
50

            
51
```bash
52
cd /Users/bogdan/Documents/Workspaces/Xdev/Madagascar/LocalAuthority
53
scripts/deploy_to_jumper.sh
54
```
55

            
56
The deploy script copies code, docs and deployment assets, restarts `host-manager`, and checks `/healthz`.
57

            
58
`config/` is not deployed by default because `hosts.yaml`, `local-hosts.tsv`, and `work-orders.yaml` are operational data that may be changed on jumper by the application. Deploy config only when intentionally replacing runtime registry data:
59

            
60
```bash
61
scripts/deploy_to_jumper.sh --include-config
62
```
63

The default internal domain is `madagascar.xdev.ro`. Short aliases are derived automatically from FQDNs, so `autonas01.madagascar.xdev.ro` also publishes `autonas01` without declaring it separately.

Name removals with operational impact go through a Work Order. A WO records intent first; the operational checklist must be completed before confirmation can update `hosts.yaml`, mark the WO as confirmed, and regenerate `local-hosts.tsv`. Resolver sync remains an explicit operator step.

The local host CA stores private material outside git under `var/ca`. Initialize it on jumper with:
69

            
70
```bash
71
sudo scripts/ca_manager.sh init
72
```
