 "summary": "Build the checkout into a container with Compose and run the agent inside it.",
 "who": "A team that prefers containerized runs of the agent over a native Python install.",
 "problem": "Installing Python tooling on shared machines can conflict with other projects and makes setups hard to reproduce.",
 "outcome": "The agent runs in a container built from your checkout, with the same TUI workflows available.",
 "steps": [
  "`git clone https://github.com/ApodexAI/FrontierAgent.git`",
  "`cd FrontierAgent`",
  "`cp .env.example .env`, then set your endpoint values in .env",
  "`docker compose -f compose.yaml -f compose.dev.yaml build`",
  "`docker compose -f compose.yaml -f compose.dev.yaml run --rm agent`"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the FrontierAgent repo at <repo path>, build the checkout with Docker Compose using compose.yaml and compose.dev.yaml, then run the agent service. The expected output is a running agent session inside the container. Verify that the container starts, reads the endpoint values from .env, and that the run directory is created.",
