What

Lets bun tauri dev drive the auth + entitlement flow against a Vercel preview or a local website, so you can test the pricing gate without prod data or local key setup. Unset env = production behavior, so prod is untouched.

# against a #238 preview (already has prod Clerk/Supabase/Stripe — zero local setup):
NEXT_PUBLIC_SCREENPIPE_WEB_URL=https://<your-238-preview>.vercel.app \
NEXT_PUBLIC_SCREENPIPE_FORCE_BILLING_GATE=true \
bun tauri dev

Flow

flowchart LR
  A["bun tauri dev"] --> B{"NEXT_PUBLIC_SCREENPIPE_WEB_URL set?"}
  B -->|yes| P["preview / localhost:3000<br/>(/api/user, /onboarding)"]
  B -->|no| Q["prod screenpi.pe / screenpipe.com"]
  A -. "FORCE_BILLING_GATE=true" .-> G["gate visible in dev"]

Changes

• lib/web-url.ts — screenpipeWebUrl(path, fallbackHost) helper, reads NEXT_PUBLIC_SCREENPIPE_WEB_URL.
• loadUser → /api/user, auth-guard → /login, gate PRICING_URL → /onboarding now route through it.
• NEXT_PUBLIC_SCREENPIPE_FORCE_BILLING_GATE=true forces the gate visible in dev (dev otherwise bypasses it via NODE_ENV).

Notes

• The native "sign in" window still opens prod login. That's fine against a preview (shared Clerk). A fully-local website would also need that redirected (Rust open_login_window), out of scope here.
• Only the pricing/auth path is rerouted; the other ~330 prod URLs are unchanged.

Validation

• tsc --noEmit clean, next lint clean, vitest 15/15 (entitlement logic + gate component).

You can pull the branch and run it now without merging:

git fetch origin claude/dev-web-url-override && git checkout claude/dev-web-url-override
