Vitest's fork pool default scales with availableParallelism, which on machines with many cores spawns dozens of fresh workers. Each worker dynamic-imports the full Express stack (TypeScript transform + DB constructor + every migration) and saturates CPU on cold start. Most of the previous suite wall time was spent waiting on this contention rather than running tests. Cap concurrency at 4 workers via the new top-level maxWorkers / minWorkers options (Vitest 4 unified the previous poolOptions.forks.maxForks under maxWorkers across pool types). Local backend wall time drops from ~93 s to ~32-60 s on typical runs. The pre-existing pre-cap fork-contention flakes (rate limiting, metrics-routes, fleet integration) clear consistently on the warm path; the remaining variance is environmental (background processes, antivirus on Windows) and is what it was before this change minus the contention floor. testTimeout (30 s) and hookTimeout (45 s) stay generous so the stress path in database-metrics and the HTTP integration suites still cover their cold-start envelope on slow runners.

Quick Start
services:
sencho:
image: saelix/sencho:latest
container_name: sencho
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- "1852:1852"
volumes:
- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
- ./data:/app/data
# 1:1 Compose Path Rule: host path MUST match container path
- /opt/docker:/opt/docker
environment:
- COMPOSE_DIR=/opt/docker
- DATA_DIR=/app/data
docker compose up -d
Then open http://your-server:1852 and create your admin account.
See the full documentation for configuration details, multi-node setup, and more.
Development
# Backend (Express + TypeScript)
cd backend && npm install && npm run dev
# Frontend (React + Vite)
cd frontend && npm install && npm run dev
The frontend dev server proxies /api requests to the backend on port 1852.
