Local Test Workflow

How we work: test on staging first, promote to main for live. Staging workflow

Your flow

Step	What happens
1. Apply changes	Code edits on branch `staging`
2. Staging site	Cloudflare Pages auto-updates (free preview URL)
3. Go live	Merge `staging` → `main` → `monexmonad.xyz` updates
4. Cloudflare API	Does NOT auto-deploy — run manually when ready
5. Test locally	Download ZIP → run local server → play on your PC

After changes are on main:

https://github.com/jericddd/MonEx/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

Or: GitHub repo → Code → Download ZIP

Or: GitHub → Actions → Package test ZIP → Run workflow → download artifact (no node_modules).

cd path\to\MonEx-main\x-bot
npm install
npm run server

Open in browser:

http://localhost:3001/home.html
http://localhost:3001/monanimal_game.html

Local server uses the same API routes as Cloudflare. For cloud API instead, set js/monex-config.js to your Worker URL.

When you are ready to push API changes live:

Or on your PC:

cd cloudflare\monex-api
npx wrangler deploy
