@@ -70,6 +70,8 @@ Operational constraints for Coolify:
 - Keep this service to a single instance/replica. SQLite is file-based and not appropriate for multi-replica shared-write deployments.
 - Ensure the two named volumes are persisted (`fiscal_sqlite_data`, `fiscal_workflow_data`).
 - Workflow Local queueing is in-memory; in-flight queued jobs may be lost on restarts.
+- Docker build forces `WORKFLOW_TARGET_WORLD=local` to avoid stale Coolify build args referencing `@workflow/world-postgres`.
+- Runtime Compose config also pins `WORKFLOW_TARGET_WORLD=local` for the same reason.
