`doctor` told users to run `./cli.py backend setup`. cli.py is a four-line
wrapper at the repo root that calls bot_bottle.cli:main, and it does not ship —
[tool.setuptools.packages.find] includes only bot_bottle*, so anyone who
installed rather than cloned has no such file. Confirmed against a real
install: the user's tree contains exactly one executable, `bot-bottle`, and no
cli.py anywhere, while doctor recommended `./cli.py` three times. Invisible in
development, where ./cli.py works fine from a checkout, which is why only a
clean-install test surfaced it.
The two entry points are the same code, so the fix is to name the one that
always exists. 141 replacements across 45 files: the runtime messages that
caused this, plus README, docs, PRDs, research notes and test prose, so nothing
teaches the invocation a user cannot run.
scripts/demo.sh is deliberately untouched — it *executes* ./cli.py from a
checkout, where that is the correct and available path.
Verified end to end: a sandbox install now reports
"Run: bot-bottle backend setup --backend=firecracker", and bot-bottle is on
that user's PATH. Unit suite unchanged against the pre-existing baseline.

Concrete worked example covering image strategy (with the bake-the-
claude-bottle-image-in optimization that elides 30-90s of in-VM
build), cold/warm/hot boot-to-prompt timing, standby vs ephemeral
cost breakdown, three workflow patterns, and Fly-specific gotchas
(DinD kernel requirements, the y/N preflight blocking automated
launch, pricing-may-have-moved hedge).

Argues that running claude-bottle unchanged on a remote Linux VM with
dockerd is the cheapest practical path to stronger isolation than
local Docker — preserves the v1 pipelock topology, requires zero code
changes, and shrinks the agent's blast radius from the developer
laptop to a disposable VM. Cross-references the existing
stronger-isolation-alternatives and local-vs-remote-agent-execution
notes so the research set composes cleanly.
