CLI/TUI launcher for the AareDAQ server and GUI on MX beamline consoles at PSI.
Installed as the `aarel` command. It detects the current beamline and launches the
matching application, opens a TUI to pick one, or deploys a new checkout.
## Usage
```
aarel pick # open the TUI to choose what to launch
aarel gui # launch the GUI for the detected beamline
aarel server # launch the server for the detected beamline
aarel deploy <name> # clone the repos and install them into a new virtualenv
```
Each command has a single-letter alias (`p`, `g`, `s`, `d`). `--config <path>`
selects a different config file; it defaults to `data/defaults.json`.
### Launching
`gui` and `server` pick their config entry from the detected beamline. Use
`--entry <name>` to launch a different one.
### Deploying
`deploy <name>` clones [aaredaq] and [aarecommon] into `<apps_base>/<name>`, then
installs both editable into a fresh `uv` virtualenv at `<venvs_base>/<name>`. It
requires `git` and `uv` on the `PATH`.
| Flag | Effect |
| --- | --- |
| `--upgrade` | Update an existing deployment (`git pull` + reinstall) instead of refusing to overwrite it. |
| `--force` | Deploy a production name from a machine on another beamline. |
The production names `x06da`, `x06sa` and `x10sa` may only be deployed from their
own beamline's machines. Any other name is a test or development deployment and
can be deployed anywhere. This is a guard against mistakes, not a security
boundary, and `--force` bypasses it.
