Verify

rg --version
curl --version
jq --version
make --version
git --version
unzip -v | head -n 1
tar --version | head -n 1
python3 --version
openssl version
docker --version
docker compose version  # use sudo if needed
systemctl --user --version

Notes

• On this host, Docker runs as root; use sudo docker ....
• Compose operations are standardized in infra/OPERATIONS.md and Make targets.
• Health checks run via an on-demand systemd user service (see ops-state/README.md).
