 "page_title": "How to script HT setup for managed machines with Habitat CLI",
 "summary": "Run non-interactive setup with an API key piped in and JSON output.",
 "who": "A platform or IT operator who provisions developer machines with a managed installer.",
 "problem": "Interactive setup does not scale across many machines.",
 "outcome": "A scripted setup that routes a project and backfills history without terminal prompts.",
 "steps": [
  "Make sure your managed installer has the workspace API key in an environment variable such as HABITAT_API_KEY.",
  "Run `ht preflight --json` to inspect the environment read-only before changing anything.",
  "Run `printf '%s' \"$HABITAT_API_KEY\" | ht setup --api-key-stdin --project /path/to/project --backfill 30d --non-interactive --json`. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Check the JSON output for the workspace and project routing result."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the habitat-cli repo, run `ht preflight --json`, then ask the operator to approve before running `ht setup` with `--api-key-stdin`, `--project <PROJECT_PATH>`, `--backfill 30d`, `--non-interactive`, and `--json`. Expected output: JSON describing the setup result. Verify that the key was passed on stdin and not written to the command line.",
