+For the normal development loop, install an editable local user service once:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/install-dev
+```
+
+This writes only to `~/.config/systemd/user` and `~/.local/share/dbus-1/services`; it does not install a system package. Python source changes are visible through the editable uv install. Restart the daemon after changes and follow its journal with:
+
+```bash
+systemctl --user restart parley.service
+journalctl --user -u parley.service -f
+```
+
+Rerun `./scripts/install-dev` after changing entry points or service files.
