 "title": "Validate a fresh BootLoops clone before trusting it",
 "page_title": "How to validate a fresh BootLoops clone before trusting it with Bootloops",
 "summary": "Run the validation command to confirm the toolkit packages pass their own batteries on your machine.",
 "who": "A researcher or engineer who just cloned BootLoops and needs proof the install works before relying on any result.",
 "problem": "A scientific toolkit is only useful if its install reproduces its own checks. Without a clear status per package, a broken install can look like a wrong result.",
 "outcome": "A status line for each of the 50 packages under tools/, with the packages that need missing external data named.",
 "steps": [
  "Clone the repository: `git clone https://github.com/BootLoops-ai/bootloops` (inferred, check the README)",
  "Enter the directory: `cd bootloops` (inferred, check the README)",
  "Install the core dependencies: `pip install mpmath sympy numpy python-flint pytest` (inferred, check the README)",
  "Run the validation command: `python3 run_selftests.py --par 8`",
  "Read the status line for each package and note the 3 packages that stop with a named error about missing data"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the bootloops repository, install the core Python dependencies, then run `python3 run_selftests.py --par 8`. Report how many packages come back green, which 3 stop with a named error, and what each error says is missing. Verify that no failure is caused by a Python version below 3.12.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says the run takes a few minutes and that 3 packages stop because they need data the repository does not include, so a non-green result is not automatically a failed install.",

 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "Git to clone the repository",
  "Python 3.12",
  "Python packages mpmath, sympy, numpy, python-flint, and pytest",
  "Julia only for packages that ship Julia components",
  "An LLM agent such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor, or any agent you prefer"
