docs: activate install script prd

When a label is given it is now used verbatim as the slug (no random
suffix), so two launches with the same label collide by design.  The
CLI re-prompts via the TUI name modal with a disclaimer when the
candidate slug is already in use among running bottles.

 ## Features
 
-- **Per-bottle egress allowlist** — TLS-bumped HTTP/HTTPS chokepoint with a per-manifest host allowlist; per-route path/method/header `matches` filtering; outbound DLP scanning for known tokens and secrets, inbound DLP scanning for prompt-injection attempts; DoH and arbitrary hosts blocked by default.
+- **Per-bottle egress allowlist** — TLS-bumped HTTP/HTTPS chokepoint with a per-manifest host allowlist and request-body DLP scanner; DoH and arbitrary hosts blocked by default.
 - **Tokens the agent never sees** — host secrets live in a sidecar; the agent dials `http://sidecar:9099/<path>` and the proxy strips inbound `Authorization` and injects the real token before forwarding. `printenv` in the agent shows proxy URLs only.
 - **Gitleaks-scanned push (git-gate)** — `bottle.git` remotes route through a per-bottle `git daemon` that gitleaks-scans incoming refs pre-receive and forwards clean refs upstream over SSH. The agent never holds the upstream credential.
 - **Manifest-scoped skills + secrets** — each bottle declares its skills, env, git identity, remotes, and egress routes; unknown keys die at load.

 When the agent exits, `cli.py` tears down every sidecar and both networks; nothing about a bottle persists between runs.
 
+## Install
+
+Install the CLI with the bootstrap script:
+
+```sh
+curl -fsSL https://gitea.dideric.is/didericis/bot-bottle/raw/branch/main/install.sh | sh
+```
+
+The script checks Python 3.11+, checks Docker daemon reachability, creates the `~/.bot-bottle/` config directories, installs the Python package with `pipx` when available or `pip --user` otherwise, then runs:
+
+```sh
+bot-bottle doctor
+```
+
+Python-native installers can use the package metadata directly:
+
+```sh
+pipx install git+https://gitea.dideric.is/didericis/bot-bottle.git
+uv tool install git+https://gitea.dideric.is/didericis/bot-bottle.git
+```

 ## Quickstart
 
 On compatible macOS hosts, the default backend requires Apple's `container` CLI and does not require Docker. The smolmachines backend requires Docker on the host for the sidecar bundle plus smolvm. The legacy Docker backend requires Docker. Claude bottles also need a long-lived Claude Code OAuth token (`claude setup-token`) exported as `BOT_BOTTLE_CLAUDE_OAUTH_TOKEN`.

+# PRD prd-new: Install script
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** didericis
+- **Created:** 2026-06-06
+- **Issue:** #197
+
+## Summary
+
+Add a proper Python package distribution and a thin `install.sh` bootstrapper so users can install bot-bottle with a single command without cloning the repo.
+
+## Problem
+
+There is currently no install path for new users. The only way to run bot-bottle is to clone the repo and invoke `cli.py` directly. This blocks any HN-style public demo: readers want `curl | sh` or `pipx install`, not a manual clone-and-configure flow.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- `curl -fsSL <url>/install.sh | sh` (or equivalent) leaves a working `bot-bottle` command on PATH.
+- Python-native users can install with `pipx install bot-bottle` or `uv tool install bot-bottle`.
+- `install.sh` validates prerequisites (Python ≥ 3.11, Docker) and exits with a clear message if they are missing. It does not silently install Docker.
+- `install.sh` runs `bot-bottle doctor` (or equivalent diagnostic) after install to confirm the environment is ready.
+- The package has no runtime pip dependencies (stdlib-only, matching the existing constraint).
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Bundling a Python runtime or producing a standalone binary.
+- Automatic Docker installation.
+- Plugin architecture changes (out of scope; see issue #197 for future direction).
+- Publishing to PyPI in this PR — the package structure is the deliverable; publishing is a separate step.
+
+## Design
+
+### Package structure
+
+Add a minimal `pyproject.toml` at the repo root:
+
+```toml
+[project]
+name = "bot-bottle"
+version = "0.1.0"
+requires-python = ">=3.11"
+dependencies = []
+
+[project.scripts]
+bot-bottle = "bot_bottle.cli:main"
+```
+
+The existing `bot_bottle/` package and `cli.py` entry point already contain the logic; this just wires up the standard entry point. `cli.py` may need a small refactor to expose a `main()` callable if it uses `if __name__ == "__main__"` only.
+
+### `install.sh`
+
+A thin bootstrapper that:
+
+1. Checks `python3 --version` ≥ 3.11; exits with instructions if not met.
+2. Checks `docker info` exits 0; exits with instructions if Docker is not running.
+3. Installs via `pipx` if available, otherwise falls back to `pip install --user`.
+4. Runs `bot-bottle doctor` to verify the install.
+
+The script must be idempotent (safe to re-run) and must not require `sudo`.
+
+### `bot-bottle doctor`
+
+A new subcommand that checks and reports:
+
+- Python version.
+- Docker daemon reachability.
+- Whether `~/.bot-bottle/` config directory exists.
+
+Exits 0 if all checks pass, non-zero otherwise.
+
+## Decisions
+
+- `install.sh` is hosted from the repo's raw Gitea URL for now:
+  `https://gitea.dideric.is/didericis/bot-bottle/raw/branch/main/install.sh`.
+- Should `version` in `pyproject.toml` be driven by a git tag at build time (e.g. via `hatch-vcs`) or kept as a static string? Static is simpler for now.
