 - Tauri prerequisites (platform-specific dependencies)
 - **Note:** Development on Linux is discouraged due to complex Tauri dependencies that vary by distribution
 
-### One-Time Setup
+### Build
 ```bash
 cd app/Build
 dotnet run build
 ```
 This builds the .NET app as a Tauri "sidecar" binary, which is required even for development.
 
-### Development Workflow
-Run these commands in separate terminals:
-
-**Terminal 1 - Start Rust runtime:**
-```bash
-cd runtime
-cargo tauri dev --no-watch
-```
-
-**Terminal 2 - Start .NET app:**
-```bash
-cd "app/MindWork AI Studio"
-dotnet run
-```
-
-The app will start in the Tauri window. Hot reload is supported for .NET code changes.
-
-### Building for Production
-```bash
-cd app/Build
-dotnet run build
-```
-Creates a release build for the current platform and architecture. Output is in `runtime/target/release/`.
 
 ### Running Tests
