🫶 USAGE 🫶

ngl, there is normally little reason to run this command directly. usually you're letting horizon-prj-mgr and horizon-pool-mgr do the whole thing for you — they're the ones running the group chat, horizon-imp is just the one showing up to the party. 💖

but!! it remains useful for debugging. so when something's acting sus, this is your girl. 🔥

---

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

this command requires the environment variable HORIZON_POOL to point to the pool's directory — and yes, that means the one with the pool.json and pool.db in it. no pool dir, no party. 🙈

ok bestie do not skip this one, HORIZON_POOL is not optional, she's a requirement, she's the whole vibe check. 💀

and that's the whole page!! 💜 this slice of wisdom is from the 2018.03.31 era — yeah, retro, but the lore still hits. mwah, go debug something cute. 🎀💅🌸
