Running your first search

Alba Core includes a small smoke script that runs the full backend flow against real cached PropertyMe-backed data.

python scripts\smoke_search.py "Find me a house in Auckland with 4 bedrooms under 5000 move in asap"

Expected flow

The output should show:

• extracted requirements such as location, budget, bedrooms, property type, and move-in timing;

• search_ready: true when the required fields are known;

• at most three real property matches;

• match notes explaining why each property was selected;

• a lead summary for Alba staff.

If no property fits, Alba Core should return an honest no-match result rather than creating a fake option.
