**This command has side effects you should know about before running it.** It requires a
clean working tree, then it:
1. Assigns the service the next free IOC port and registers it in
[`config/services_registry.yml`](../../config/services_registry.yml).
2. Adds the service to `AGEBD-CPCL-MASTER`'s IOC pattern file, so it gets the standard
ALH lifecycle PVs (`AGEBD-ALH$(SUFFIX):$(SERVICE)-*`) and appears in the `ServiceManager`
GUI screen.
3. Appends a row to [`iocs_overview.md`](ioc/iocs_overview.md).
4. Creates a new branch **`feature/add-service-<name>`**, scaffolds the new service's files
from the templates, and **pushes the branch automatically** — you don't run `git push`
yourself.
Pushing that branch triggers the `Add new service` Gitea Actions workflow
(`.gitea/workflows/add-new-service.yml`), which deploys `master`, installs/restarts its IOC,
deploys your new service, and installs/starts its own IOC — all in `dev`. Check the Actions
tab for that run to confirm it succeeded before doing anything else with the new service.
## Environments
The services are deployed to 2 environments:

#### PVs - Service Specific
You create them, see (# TODO: docs...)
These are defined as EPICS records in your service's own `services/<name>/current/ioc/*.template`
file, instantiated by `services/<name>/current/ioc/AGEBD-CPCL-<NAME>_main.subs`.
`prod` and `dev` PVs automatically get created.
`prod` and `dev` PVs automatically get created: at deploy time, `{{ agebd_env_suffix_upper }}`/
`{{ agebd_env_suffix_lower }}` placeholders in those files are substituted with `-DEV`/`-dev`
in `dev`, or left empty in `prod` (see `.gitea/scripts/deploy-service.sh`).
In your code, you only use the `prod` name of a PV. The framework will automatically use the
`dev` name/PV when a service runs in the `dev` environment.
In your code, you only use the `prod` name of a PV, e.g. `PV("AGEBD-MYSERVICE:MYPVNAME")`.
The `PVLink`/`DevPVLink` framework (`packages/agebd/src/agebd/pv.py`) automatically appends
`-DEV` when the service runs in `dev` — but **only** for PVs belonging to your own service,
plus `AGEBD-ALH`/`AGEBD-MASTER`. See "External" below for PVs owned by another service.
#### PVs - External
The framework will use the same PV in `prod` and `dev`, i.e. there is no `dev` PV.
However, in `dev` you can only read from the PV, whereas in `prod` you can also write to it.
PVs owned by another service (including another AGEBD service, e.g. `AGEBD-PARAMS:...` used
from a different service) or by real accelerator hardware (e.g. `ARS01-MOCT-...`) are used
verbatim — no `-DEV` suffix is ever added, even in `dev`.

**Note:** launching straight from a git checkout, as above, uses the raw `.ui` files as
committed - including the literal `{{ agebd_env_suffix_upper }}`/`{{ agebd_env_suffix_lower }}`
placeholders in their PV names. Those only get substituted with `-DEV`/`-dev` (or emptied out,
in `prod`) at deploy time, by `.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml`'s `"Qt - deploy"` step, on the
*deployed* copy at `/sls/bd/hla/<env>/qt/`. If widgets show up blank or unresponsive, check
whether you're accidentally pointing at the raw checkout instead of the deployed `.ui` file.
