 ### Running in Development
 
+By default, `pnpm dev` uses [mprocs](https://github.com/pvolok/mprocs) to run the agent and code app in parallel.

+### phrocs (alpha)
+
+phrocs is our custom process runner built as a replacement for mprocs. It's currently in alpha and can be used as an alternative dev runner. phrocs does not auto-update — you must manually run the update command to pull the latest version.
+
+```bash
+# Run dev with phrocs (auto-installs on first run)
+pnpm dev:ph
+
+# Manually update phrocs to the latest version
+pnpm update:phrocs
+```
+
+phrocs reads the same `mprocs.yaml` config file. The binary is downloaded to `bin/phrocs` and is git-ignored.
