The prompt

Write a docker-compose setup so anyone on my team can run the whole app locally with one command. Services: [e.g. web app (Node/Python), PostgreSQL, Redis, a background worker, Mailpit for test emails] My project structure: [folders, where Dockerfiles are or should be] Ports I want on my machine: [list] Requirements: - compose.yaml with healthchecks and depends_on conditions so services start in the right order. - Named volumes for database data; bind-mount source code for live reload. - A .env.example with every variable and a safe placeholder value; real .env ignored by git. - A seed step for sample data. - Comments for each service. Then give me: the commands to start, stop, view logs and reset everything; how to run tests inside the container; and the 5 most common errors (port already in use, permissions on volumes, etc.) with fixes.
