+* All binaries should be built inside the bin/ folder.
+* All hardcoded variables should be defined in a central place and accessed from there directly, so that the amount of work needed to change a config is significantly less.
+* Log files should be written into the logs/ folder.
+* All protobuf and grpc service file definitions should be in the proto/ folder.
+* Always check whether the test cases pass from a cold start -- without having previously built containers, volumes, and pods.
+* A sample experiment file is in tests/sample_experiment.yml. This file should be used with the CLI to test whether the system can actually run experiments. If the experiment works and all results are generated and they can be listed, viewed, and downloaded, and is organized according to the project it was grouped under.
+* Always keep the docs/ and README.md files up to date with the current state of the code. This is a must. Out of sync docs and README is unacceptable.

+# Airavata Scheduler
+
+A production-ready distributed task execution system for scientific computing experiments with a crystal-clear hexagonal architecture, cost-based scheduling, and comprehensive data management.
+
+## 🎯 Conceptual Model
+
+The Airavata Scheduler is built around **6 core domain interfaces** that represent the fundamental operations of distributed task execution, with a **gRPC-based worker system** for task execution:

+
+## πŸš€ Quick Start
+
+### Cold Start (Recommended for Testing)
+
+For a complete cold start from scratch (no existing containers or volumes):
+
+```bash
+# Complete cold start setup - builds everything from scratch
+./scripts/setup-cold-start.sh
+
+# This script automatically:
+# 1. Validates prerequisites (Go, Docker, ports)
+# 2. Downloads Go dependencies
+# 3. Generates protobuf files
+# 4. Creates deterministic SLURM munge key
+# 5. Starts all services with test profile
+# 6. Waits for services to be healthy
+# 7. Uploads SpiceDB schema
+# 8. Builds all binaries
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+Run comprehensive integration tests across all compute and storage types:
+
+```bash
+# Run integration tests (includes cold start)
+./scripts/test/run-integration-tests.sh
+
+# This validates:
+# - SLURM clusters (both cluster 1 and cluster 2)
+# - Bare metal compute nodes
+# - Storage backends (S3/MinIO, SFTP, NFS)
+# - Credential management via SpiceDB/OpenBao
+# - Workflow execution and task dependencies
+# - Worker system and scheduler recovery
+# - Multi-runtime experiments
+```
+
+### Manual Setup
+
+Get up and running quickly with the Airavata Scheduler:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Build all binaries (scheduler, worker, CLI)
+make build
+
+# 2. Start services (PostgreSQL, SpiceDB, OpenBao)
+# Production mode (default)
+docker compose up -d postgres spicedb spicedb-postgres openbao
+
+# Or explicitly use production profile
+docker compose --profile prod up -d postgres spicedb spicedb-postgres openbao
+
+# 3. Upload SpiceDB schema
+make spicedb-schema-upload
+
+# 4. Run your first experiment
+./build/airavata-scheduler run tests/sample_experiment.yml \
+  --project my-project \
+  --compute cluster-1 \
+  --storage s3-bucket-1 \
+  --watch
+```
+
+For detailed setup instructions, see the [Quick Start Guide](docs/guides/quickstart.md).
+
+## πŸ–₯️ Command Line Interface
+
+The Airavata Scheduler includes a comprehensive CLI (`airavata`) for complete system management:
+
+### Complete Workflow Example
+
+```bash
+# 1. Authenticate
+./bin/airavata auth login
+
+# 2. Create project
+./bin/airavata project create
+
+# 3. Upload input data
+./bin/airavata data upload input.dat minio-storage:/experiments/input.dat
+
+# 4. Run experiment
+./bin/airavata experiment run experiment.yml --project proj-123 --compute slurm-1
+
+# 5. Monitor experiment
+./bin/airavata experiment watch exp-456
+
+# 6. Check outputs
+./bin/airavata experiment outputs exp-456
+
+# 7. Download results
+./bin/airavata experiment download exp-456 --output ./results/
+```
+

+
+### Cold-Start Testing (Fresh Clone)
+
+For testing on a fresh clone with only Docker and Go:
+
+```bash
+# Clone and enter directory
+git clone <repo-url>
+cd airavata-scheduler
+
+# Run cold-start setup
+chmod +x scripts/*.sh
+./scripts/setup-cold-start.sh
+
+# Run all tests
+make cold-start-test
+
+# Or run individual test suites
+make test-unit
+make test-integration
+```
+
+**Prerequisites**: Docker and Go 1.21+ must be in PATH.
+
+## πŸ” Credential Management Architecture
+
+The Airavata Scheduler implements a **three-layer credential architecture** that separates authorization logic from storage for maximum security and scalability:

+
+### Credential Resolution Flow
+
+When an experiment runs, the system automatically:
+
+1. **Identifies Required Resources**: Determines compute and storage resources needed
+2. **Finds Bound Credentials**: Queries SpiceDB for credentials bound to each resource
+3. **Checks User Permissions**: Verifies user has read access to each credential
+4. **Retrieves Secrets**: Decrypts credential data from OpenBao
+5. **Uses for Execution**: Provides credentials to workers for resource access

+
+## πŸ”§ Development
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Go 1.21+
+- PostgreSQL 15+
+- Docker (for testing)
+
+### Setup
+
+```bash
+# Clone repository
+git clone https://github.com/apache/airavata/scheduler.git
+cd airavata-scheduler
+
+# Install dependencies
+go mod download
+
+# Generate proto code
+make proto
+
+# Or manually
+protoc --go_out=core/dto --go-grpc_out=core/dto \
+    --go_opt=paths=source_relative \
+    --go-grpc_opt=paths=source_relative \
+    --proto_path=proto \
+    proto/*.proto
+
+# Build binaries
+make build
+
+# Setup database
+createdb airavata_scheduler
+psql airavata_scheduler < db/schema.sql
+
+# Run scheduler server
+./build/scheduler --mode=server
+
+# Run worker (in separate terminal)
+./build/worker --server-address=localhost:50051
+```
+
+### Docker Compose Profiles
+
+The project uses a single `docker-compose.yml` file with profiles to support different environments:
+
+```bash
+# Production mode (default) - Core services only
+docker compose up -d
+
+# Test mode - Full test environment with compute services
+docker compose --profile test up -d
+```
+
+**Test Profile (`test`):**
+- 2 SLURM clusters with controllers and compute nodes
+- 2 baremetal SSH servers for direct execution
+- Kubernetes-in-Docker (kind) cluster
+- Standard healthcheck intervals and timeouts
+- Used for integration testing with production-like environment
+
+### Testing
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+make test
+
+# Run unit tests
+make test-unit
+
+# Run integration tests
+make test-integration
+
+# Run performance tests
+make test-performance
+
+# Run tests with coverage
+make test-coverage
+
+# Run cold start test with CSV report (destroys containers/volumes)
+make cold-start-test-csv
+```
+
+#### Cold Start Testing with CSV Reports
+
+For comprehensive testing from a clean state with detailed reporting:
+
+```bash
+# Full cold start test with CSV report generation
+make cold-start-test-csv
+
+# Or run directly with options
+./scripts/test/run-cold-start-with-report.sh [OPTIONS]
+
+# Options:
+#   --skip-cleanup        Skip Docker cleanup
+#   --skip-cold-start     Skip cold start setup
+#   --unit-only          Run only unit tests
+#   --integration-only   Run only integration tests
+#   --no-csv             Skip CSV report generation
+```
+
+This will:
+1. **Destroy all containers and volumes** for a true cold start
+2. **Recreate environment from scratch** using `scripts/setup-cold-start.sh`
+3. **Run all test suites** (unit + integration) with JSON output
+4. **Generate CSV report** with detailed test results in `logs/cold-start-test-results-[timestamp].csv`
+
+**CSV Report Format:**
+```
+Category,Test Name,Status,Duration (s),Warnings/Notes
+Unit,TestExample,PASS,0.123,
+Integration,TestE2E,FAIL,45.67,Timeout waiting for service
+```
+
+**Status Types:**
+- `PASS`: Test passed without issues
+- `FAIL`: Test failed with errors  
+- `SKIP`: Test skipped (service unavailable, etc.)
+- `PASS_WITH_WARNING`: Test passed but had warnings
+
+**Generated Files:**
+- `logs/cold-start-test-results-[timestamp].csv` - Detailed test results
+- `logs/unit-tests-[timestamp].json` - Unit test JSON output
+- `logs/integration-tests-[timestamp].json` - Integration test JSON output
+- `logs/cold-start-setup-[timestamp].log` - Cold start setup log

+
+## ⚠️ Known Issues & Troubleshooting
+
+### Cold Start Testing
+
+When running cold-start tests from a fresh clone, ensure:
+
+1. **SLURM Munge Key**: Run `./scripts/generate-slurm-munge-key.sh` to generate the shared authentication key
+2. **Kubernetes Cluster**: The kind-cluster service may take 2-3 minutes to fully initialize
+3. **Service Dependencies**: All services have proper health checks and startup dependencies
+
+### Service Health Checks
+
+All services now include health checks:
+- **Scheduler**: HTTP health check on `/api/v2/health`
+- **SLURM**: Munge authentication with shared key
+- **Kubernetes**: Node readiness check
+- **Storage**: Connection and availability checks
+
+### Common Issues
+
+- **SLURM Authentication Failures**: Regenerate munge key if nodes can't register
+- **Kubernetes Cluster**: Kind cluster initialization is complex and may require manual setup
+- **Port Conflicts**: Ensure ports 8080, 50051-50053, 5432, 8200, 9000-9001, 2222, 2049 are available
+
