-# CI Considerations (for future implementation):
-# - GitHub Actions can run these services in isolated containers
-# - Port conflicts won't exist in CI since each job runs in isolation
-# - For CI, we could add:
-#   - --build flag for fresh builds
-#   - --force-recreate for clean state
-#   - Volume cleanup between test runs
-# - Environment variables can be injected via GitHub secrets
-# - Health checks ensure services are ready before tests run
