Hot reload comment no longer accurate
The dev script was changed from smithery dev (which provided hot reload) to pnpm embed && tsx src/index.ts. The tsx command in this form does not provide hot reload — that would require tsx watch src/index.ts. The inline comment # Development with hot reload is now misleading.

**Hot reload comment no longer accurate**
The `dev` script was changed from `smithery dev` (which provided hot reload) to `pnpm embed && tsx src/index.ts`. The `tsx` command in this form does not provide hot reload — that would require `tsx watch src/index.ts`. The inline comment `# Development with hot reload` is now misleading.

pnpm dev # Development server (no hot reload; use tsx watch for file watching)

Inconsistent package manager invocation
Every other workflow in this PR was updated from npm to pnpm, but this step still uses npx tsx to run the verify-assumptions script. While this works (pnpm populates node_modules/.bin/ so npx can find tsx), it's inconsistent with the rest of the codebase migration.

🤖 Augment PR SummarySummary: Removes Smithery tooling and standardizes Thoughtbox around pnpm + source-based distribution. Changes:
Technical Notes: This makes pnpm availability a broader assumption (CI, dev, and notebook runtime), so it’s important that docs and automation consistently reflect how the CLI/server should be invoked from a source checkout. 🤖 Was this summary useful? React with 👍 or 👎 |

The dev script runs tsx src/index.ts without watch mode, so it won’t hot-reload as implied by the docs. Consider aligning the script behavior and the README so local dev instructions aren’t misleading.

installDependencies() now spawns pnpm, which may not exist in default Node environments (npm is bundled, pnpm typically isn’t). If notebooks are expected to work out-of-the-box, consider ensuring pnpm is provisioned or surfacing a clearer “pnpm not found” error.

The install section now describes running from a source checkout, but later examples still assume thoughtbox is already on $PATH (no install/link step is described). This can leave users unable to start the server after pnpm build unless they discover node dist/index.js/linking on their own.

This acceptance gate now calls pnpm typecheck, but the root package.json doesn’t define a typecheck script, so this command will fail if executed. If this is intended to be automated validation, the command and available scripts should match.

Keep npm lockfile when Docker build still uses npm ci
Removing package-lock.json breaks image builds because the project Dockerfile still runs npm ci in both stages (RUN npm ci and RUN npm ci --omit=dev --ignore-scripts). In this state, npm ci fails with EUSAGE (can only install with an existing package-lock.json or npm-shrinkwrap.json), so any standard docker build from this commit will fail before the app is built.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
