Splits the Linux clean-install harness into two variants, selected with
BB_TEST_PREREQS:
with (default) — install python3 + git + pipx first, then install.sh.
The ready-host happy path; PASS = install.sh exits 0 and
leaves a runnable bot-bottle entry point.
without — run install.sh on the BARE cloud image. Exercises
install.sh's own prerequisite-guard logic (python gate,
git-for-git-specs gate, pipx/pip PEP-668 handling). PASS =
install.sh either fully succeeds OR declines with one of
its own recognized, actionable prerequisite errors; a
crash or unrecognized failure is a FAIL.
cmd_run now captures install.sh's exit code + full output (install.rc /
install.log) instead of aborting on non-zero, so the verdict step applies the
variant's criterion. The old assert_installed is replaced by a quiet
entry_point_runnable helper plus classify_outcome, which matches the bare-host
declines against the exact die() messages install.sh prints. doctor still runs
for visibility, but only when an entry point exists.
test-all now runs the full matrix -- every distro x both variants -- each cell
in its own throwaway VM, and can be pinned to one variant via BB_TEST_PREREQS.
Research note updated to document both variants and their pass criteria.
Validated with `bash -n` and `shellcheck`.

Docs
How this project records what it builds and why — and a guide to picking the right document for what you're capturing.
When to write which document
| Artifact | For |
|---|---|
Design workflow (docs/design-workflow.md) |
How discussion becomes canonical design, how dependencies are recorded, and when implementation may begin. |
Glossary (docs/glossary.md) |
Canonical term definitions — what words mean in this project. |
PRD (docs/prds/) |
A feature: what to build, scope, success criteria. |
Research note (docs/research/) |
A landscape/tradeoff investigation. |
Decision record (docs/decisions/) |
A decision that isn't itself a feature — a policy, a convention, a "we will / won't do this," or a load-bearing choice made inside a larger PRD that deserves to be discoverable on its own. |
A decision that's fully specified by a PRD doesn't need duplicating in a decision record. Write one when the decision would otherwise be buried in prose, lost in an issue thread, or have no in-repo home at all (small requests that don't merit a PRD; non-feature choices like merge strategy or a trust posture).
