Configure Ideogram local development with mock responses and testing. Use when setting up a development environment, configuring test workflows, or establishing a fast iteration cycle with Ideogram. Trigger with phrases like "ideogram dev setup", "ideogram local development", "ideogram dev environment", "develop with ideogram", "ideogram testing".

}| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Module not found | Missing dependency | Run npm install |
| Env not loaded | Missing .env.local | Copy from .env.example |
| Test timeout | Mocking not set up | Use mockGenerate in tests |
| Credits burned in tests | Using real API in CI | Mock fetch in test files |
