 automatically reload it in the running game — no restart required during development.

+## Cursor Cloud specific instructions
+
+### Environment overview
+
+Love2D v12 nightly is installed at `/opt/love2d/` with its binary at `/opt/love2d/bin/love`
+(symlinked to `/usr/local/bin/love`). The shared libraries live in `/opt/love2d/lib/` and
+`LD_LIBRARY_PATH` is configured in `~/.bashrc` to include that path.
+
+The `lua-https` native module (`https.so`) must exist in the project root (`/workspace/https.so`)
+for any API/network calls to work. It is built from source
+([love2d/lua-https](https://github.com/love2d/lua-https)) using cmake + g++ against libcurl and
+openssl. If it is missing, rebuild it:
+
+```bash
+cd /tmp && git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/love2d/lua-https.git
+mkdir -p /tmp/lua-https/build && cd /tmp/lua-https/build
+cmake .. -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++ -DUSE_CURL_BACKEND=ON -DUSE_OPENSSL_BACKEND=ON
+make -j$(nproc)
+cp src/https.so /workspace/https.so
+```
+
+### Running the game
+
+```bash
+export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/love2d/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+love .
+```
+
+ALSA audio errors in the log are expected (no sound device in the VM) and do not affect
+gameplay. `conf.lua` sets `t.window.displayindex = 2`; this works in the Cloud VM (which
+has a virtual display), but on a single-monitor setup change it to `1`.
+
+### Backend services
+
+The game client requires two external services for full end-to-end testing:
+
+- **World API** (Django REST) at `http://localhost:8000` — auth, users, decks, cards
+- **Nakama** server at `localhost:7350` — real-time multiplayer
+
+The backend is cloned at `/workspace/backend` and runs via Docker Compose. To start all
+backend services:
+
+```bash
+cd /workspace/backend
+docker compose up -d --build
+```
+
+This starts: Postgres (5432), API (8000), Nakama (7349-7351), and SeaweedFS (8333).
+Migrations and `ensure_nakama_card_fdw` run automatically on API container startup
+via `entrypoint.sh`.
+
+**First-time SeaweedFS setup** (only needed once, after the containers are running):
+
+```bash
+# Create S3 credentials
+docker compose exec seaweedfs-master weed shell -master=seaweedfs-master:9333 <<'EOF'
+s3.configure -user=wildleague -access_key=wildleague -secret_key=wildleague-secret -buckets=cards -actions=Read,Write,List,Tagging,Admin -apply
+EOF
+
+# Seed card data + mirror images to S3
+docker compose exec api python manage.py seed_default_cards
+
+# Allow anonymous read access to card images
+docker compose exec seaweedfs-master weed shell -master=seaweedfs-master:9333 <<'EOF'
+s3.configure -user=anonymous -actions=Read:cards,List:cards -apply
+EOF
+```
+
+**Backend tests:** `docker compose exec api python manage.py test`
+
+Without the backend, the game launches to the server-selection screen but cannot
+authenticate or enter a match.
+
+### Linting and testing
+
+- **Lint (game):** `luacheck .` — see `AGENTS.md` § Linting for details.
+- **Tests (game):** No project-level test suite exists. Manual testing via `love .`.
+- **Lint (backend):** No linter configured; follow `.editorconfig`.
+- **Tests (backend):** `docker compose exec api python manage.py test` (in `/workspace/backend`).
+
+### Docker in the Cloud VM
+
+Docker is installed with `fuse-overlayfs` storage driver and `iptables-legacy` for
+compatibility in the nested container environment. The `ubuntu` user is in the `docker`
+group for non-root access. Start the daemon with `sudo dockerd &>/tmp/dockerd.log &`
+if it's not already running.
