setup.rs

//! `rk setup`: execute the repository-side setup against the detected forge.
//!
//! Preview is the default and is an offline rendering — it materializes
//! nothing and invokes no external command. Apply runs each step as the
//! observe-compare-apply-verify lifecycle: observe the current state,
//! report and skip when satisfied, otherwise materialize the embedded
//! script into the run's private journal directory, verify its digest,
//! spawn it as `sh <path>`, and read the state back. `check` calls the same
//! observe functions with the mutating half unreachable from its code path.
