Maybe we can merge the Troubleshooting section into a single page instead of a dropdown with two pages? Because the first page in that dropdown ("Response Header Injection") doesn't have a lot of content. It could just go under "Common Issues" only. WDYT?

# CLI

The mirrord CLI is the core tool for running mirrord from the command line. It can be used standalone, or is automatically managed by the IDE extensions.

Do you still need mirrord CLI installed if you're only using the extension?

Because if not then "is automatically managed by the IDE extensions" is incorrect.

Or, if you'd rather run a local container than a native process, run:

I'm not sure I understand this. I've never used this command and it wasn't clear from this line what or why I'd use this.

just sometimes when you have many dependencies it might be simpler to run a container instead of a local process, we do support it

If it's not commonly used I wouldn't mention it in the main CLI page like this

## Interactive Setup

You can use `mirrord wizard` to generate a `mirrord.json` configuration file interactively. This walks you through common use cases to help you create a configuration tailored to your needs. [Click here](/docs/overview/onboarding-wizard.md) for more information.

Add a line introducing mirrord.json and telling that that's where configuration lives.

the 'response header inject' is not an issue, so it doesnt make sense to me to add it under that section.. its a small feature we provide for trubleshooting.
Im about to add another small tool so ill add it to same section and rename it 'tools' or similar.

This should be under Using mirrord, not Installing mirrord (and with a more descriptive title)

I've moved it and changed the title to "Working with Local Containers". Open to further suggestions on the title

Isn't this section duplicative with Quick Start? Why do we need both?

There is duplicated content, but its relevant to both the quickstart and this section too. If someone is looking for more complete instructions than what you would typically find in a quick start, I would expect to find it here.
