 ## Quick Start
 
+Tool versions are declared in `mise.toml`. Install [mise](https://mise.jdx.dev) and run `mise install` once to get the correct Go and Node versions.
+
 ### Development
 
 ```bash
-# 1. Set your auth token
-export AUTH_TOKEN=mysecrettoken
+# Install frontend dependencies (first time only)
+mise run install
 
-# 2. Start both servers
-make dev
+# Start both servers (Go API + Vite dev server)
+mise run dev
 # Go API:  http://localhost:8080
 # Vite UI: http://localhost:5173 (with /api proxy)
 ```
 
+`AUTH_TOKEN` defaults to `devtoken` in `mise.toml`. Override it by setting the variable in your environment before running.
+
 Open `http://localhost:5173`, go to **Settings**, enter your token.
 
 ### Production (single binary)
 
 ```bash
-make build           # builds web/ then embeds it in the Go binary
+mise run build        # builds web/ then embeds it in the Go binary
 
-# Run
 AUTH_TOKEN=mysecrettoken ./wotra
 # open http://localhost:8080
 ```
