check_for_updates = false # Disable automatic update checks
Update checks run in background and don’t slow down startup.
Startup Optimizations
SignalPilot launches Jupyter Lab with optimized settings for fast startup (150-750ms faster than default):
# Authentication - disabled for local use
--IdentityProvider.token=''
# Kernel management - prevent conflicts
--KernelSpecManager.ensure_native_kernel=True
--KernelSpecManager.allowed_kernelspecs=[]
# Hide development artifacts
--ContentsManager.hide_globs=['*.venv', '.venv', '__pycache__', '*.egg-info', '.git']
# Startup speed - skip news fetch and collaboration init
--LabApp.news_url='' # Saves ~100-500ms
--LabApp.collaborative=False # Saves ~50-200ms
# Async file handling for better performance
--ServerApp.contents_manager_class=jupyter_server.services.contents.largefilemanager.AsyncLargeFileManager
Token authentication is disabled by default. Re-enable if exposing Jupyter to a network.
Custom Arguments

uvx signalpilot lab --port=9999
