Goal: Ensure all directives in AGENTS.md are followed for the bare-metal setup objective: add rsync, btop, npm, and a permitted text browser to all bare-metal systems scripts; add headless mode that ignores GUI applications; add server mode for Docker and Docker Compose from official sources where possible, warn and install Podman with incompatibility notes when Docker is unavailable, and allow FreeBSD bhyve as a relevant substitute.

Target iteration: Iteration 1 of 5

Implemented shared Linux and POSIX FreeBSD options, baseline package matrices, official Docker repository/package paths, Podman fallback warnings, bhyve selection, README documentation, and provenance logging. Native FreeBSD execution remains unverified; no remote push or pull request was performed.

Target iteration: Iteration 2 of 5
