fix(harness): judge the install separately from backend readiness
The first run against the branch's own code confirmed the doctor fix — no
traceback, the firecracker probes now report "TAP pool: 0/8" instead of dying
on PermissionError — and then failed for a reason the installer cannot fix.

The Apple `container` service is per-USER. `container system status` reports an
appRoot under ~/Library/Application Support/com.apple.container/, and bbtest
sees "container system service: NOT running" while the creating admin's is
running. A brand-new account therefore has no backend until it runs
`container system start` once, doctor rightly fails, and `test` would be
permanently red for host state that install.sh neither creates nor can regress.

So stop treating doctor's exit code as one verdict. `test` now fails when the
install is broken — no entry point, doctor crashed, or doctor could not report
a usable python and config dir — and reports backend readiness as a note.
BB_TEST_REQUIRE_BACKEND=1 restores the strict behaviour.

A traceback is checked for explicitly rather than inferred from the exit code,
because those are the same value. The PermissionError bug exited non-zero
exactly like a missing prerequisite does; only the traceback distinguishes a
defect from an environment fact, and that distinction is the whole point of
this change.

The research doc's footprint table had the service as a host-wide launchd
service that survives user deletion. It does not. The state lives in the home
and goes with it, so the reset is more complete than claimed — but the
corollary is that a fresh account cannot run a bottle until the service is
started for it.

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).
