local-up.py is a stdlib-only Python rewrite of local-up.sh +
local-seed-secrets.sh. Key improvements:
- Correctly parses limactl list --json NDJSON output (json.load()
choked on NDJSON, causing spurious VM creation attempts)
- Handles all Lima VM states: none, Running, Stopped, Broken, etc.
- Inlines seed secrets (no separate local-seed-secrets.sh subprocess)
- Partial runs: --seed, --apply, --restart flags
- Consistent idempotency: every step checks state before acting
- Adds people-backend/celery to restart list; find to PG users list
local-up.sh patched: yq in prereqs, NDJSON-safe VM detection,
--server-side for Linkerd apply, people in restart list, Mail URL.
