[Tooling] Install, detect, and diagnose all supported agents #26

Description

@teseo

Kind

implement

Goal

Make installation explicit, idempotent, and diagnosable across all supported CLI agents and desktop modes.

Non-goals

  • Silently modifying unrelated agent configuration.
  • Installing adapters for agents not in the supported matrix.
  • Hiding unsupported desktop behavior.

Invariants

  • Existing config is preserved and merges are reversible.
  • Detection reports binary, version, surface, and adapter status.
  • Re-running install is idempotent.
  • Uninstall removes only human.md-owned changes.

Behavioral contract / States

The installer supports auto, explicit agent selection, dry-run, doctor, and uninstall. It reports supported, conditional, advisory, and unsupported states with actionable remediation.

Scope surface

install.sh, uninstall.sh, adapter registration, diagnostics output, and installer tests.

Acceptance

  • Test clean install, repeat install, dry-run, doctor, and uninstall in an isolated HOME.
  • Test detection with each installed CLI and with missing binaries.
  • Run: bash tests/test_install.sh and add assertions for idempotence and non-destructive config merges.
  • Doctor output must identify the exact adapter and hook path in use.

Split triggers

  • An agent requires an installer language/runtime not shared by the core.
  • Config ownership cannot be safely detected or reversed.
