G-16Environment Bootstrap

Clone, install, build, seed, green — everything that has to work before an agent can begin.

Key insight

Autonomous coding runs fail here more than anywhere else, and never on the interesting part. A setup script in the repo, exercised by CI, turns the most common failure into one that breaks in a pull request instead of at 3am.

Failure mode

Setup that lives in someone’s shell history. It works on the machine it was written on and nowhere else, and the agent’s transcript is forty minutes of dependency errors.
