+By default, the Vite dev server proxies `/api/*` to the remote stable API at
+`https://api-v2.truckwash.io/master/api`. This lets the Vue app run locally
+without a local PHP API container.
+
+To develop against a local PHP API instead:
+
+```powershell
+$env:VITE_API_PROXY_TARGET="http://localhost"; npm run dev
+```
+
+To use another remote API route:
+
+```powershell
+$env:VITE_API_PROXY_BASE_PATH="/canary/api"; npm run dev
+```
+
+For compatible local gateways that expect the `/api` prefix to be preserved:
+
+```powershell
+$env:VITE_API_PROXY_TARGET="http://localhost"; $env:VITE_API_PROXY_STRIP_PREFIX="false"; npm run dev
+```
