Walk the user through getting Sentry running locally. The full process from a bare machine takes 30-45 minutes — most of that is downloading dependencies and Docker images. Set expectations clearly at each step.
AL MCP: If the al MCP server is available, use alsearchdocs and alreaddoc for detailed troubleshooting. The AL docs cover devenv, devservices, and common issues in depth. The AL server is part of the devinfra-mcp project — see that repo for setup instructions if the server isn't configured yet.
