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`.
