App

Application Mode (NODE_ENV-like)

Controls AUTO feature behavior (e.g., leak detection, verbose errors). Use this to distinguish between development and production environments.

app.mode

Section titled “app.mode”

Application mode used by AUTO settings (e.g., leak detection).

Values (case-insensitive):

  • “dev”, “development”, “local”, “test” → treated as development environment
  • Everything else (e.g., “production”, “staging”) → treated as production environment

Lookup order (highest priority first):

  • CLI: -m <mode> or --mode <mode>
  • System property: -Dmode=<mode> or -Dapp.mode=<mode>
  • SCRIBE_APP_MODE environment variable
  • APP_MODE environment variable (Node.js-style fallback)
  • APP_ENV environment variable (Node.js-style fallback)
  • This config value

Priority: CLI (-m/—mode) > -Dmode > SCRIBE_APP_MODE > APP_MODE > APP_ENV > config
