- Guard the Anthropic key prompt with `[ -t 0 ]` so headless/CI runs fail
fast instead of hanging forever on `read -s` with no TTY.
- Hit engram's real health endpoint `/health` (was `/api/health`) in the
Phase 6 wait, Phase 8 verify, and the printed hints.
- Register the neuron MCP server by jq-merging into ~/.claude.json
(mcpServers) — the file Claude Code actually reads — not ~/.claude/mcp.json.
- Merge neuron hooks into an existing ~/.claude/settings.json via jq
(preserving the user's settings, dropping doc-only keys) instead of only
leaving a settings.core.json to merge by hand.
- Drop the nonexistent foundation.git clone and the forge build that
depended on it; Phase 6 genesis seeding already degrades to a warning.
- Add a non-GCP fallback: without gcloud (or a staged El toolchain) the
installer skips the native builds with clear guidance instead of dying,
so a fresh Mac still completes.
- Template the soul studio_dir default off $HOME instead of a hardcoded
/Users/will path (soul.el + committed dist artifacts).
Add jq to the preflight tool list (required by the two config merges).
