VS Code
Install from Homebrew, sign in, and let Settings Sync pull extensions, settings, and UI state back.
VS Code, Codex, Claude, Antigravity, OrbStack, and just enough runtime tooling.
The development setup is intentionally narrow: install the editor, install the assistants, restore sync, keep Node.js versioning on Volta, and use OrbStack for the local container path. No pnpm detour, no extra package-manager layer.
The dev slice keeps Go, Pandoc, Jira CLI, Volta, and OrbStack together because they belong on a real workstation.
Editor Restore
Install the tools, sign in, and pull the environment back into shape quickly.
Codex
Install the current Codex app and reconnect the workflow you use for repo work.
Claude
Install the desktop app and restore the project-level workflow you use next to VS Code and Codex.
Antigravity
Install the current Google Antigravity app if it stays part of the coding loop, especially when you want a second agent workflow outside VS Code.
OrbStack
Keep local containers and Linux workloads on OrbStack so the machine can run Docker-compatible workflows without falling back to Docker Desktop.
Volta
Keep Node.js version management in Volta so project runtimes stay clean without pulling pnpm into the base install.
Reference Screens
Visual cues matter when rebuilding fast and verifying the terminal integration is back.
VS Code Look
Sanity-check fonts, editor chrome, and overall feel after sync lands.
code Command
Confirm the VS Code command-line entry point is available from the shell.
