+//
+// Accept a CLI bearer minted by the builders' hall (POST /api/bongos/auth/cli-token/issue)
+// and write it into ~/.config/otb/bongos-session.json. Preserves any existing
+// fields (notably gemini_api_key registered via /builder-setup) so a token
+// paste never silently un-registers a builder's Gemini key.
+//
+// Usage:
+//   bongos paste-token <token>          # what the hall hands you (task 1003961)
+//   node scripts/bongos/paste-token.js <token>   # equivalent, inside a core checkout
+//
+// The portal returns the exact invocation as the "paste_command" field, so a
+// builder can copy + paste a single line.
+//
+// Safety contract:
+//   1. The token is verified against /api/bongos/me BEFORE the session file is
+//      touched. A bad paste exits non-zero with a clear message and leaves
+//      the existing session intact.
+//   2. The file is written with mode 0600, same as setup.js.
+//   3. Any pre-existing fields in the session file are merged through
+//      (gemini_api_key, future per-builder prefs, etc.) so this script never
+//      regresses state captured by other flows.

+//
+// A token is minted BY an instance, so the issuer is a property of the token, not of

+// outranks every inferred source: it is per-invocation, it came from the minting
+// instance, and it is the only source that is right by construction.

+//
+// WHY. The CLIs explain a refusal in engineer prose, and the lifecycle skills told the
+// agent to relay it verbatim — so a non-technical builder met `REBASE_REQUIRED` or
+// `strand:pr_not_landed` raw, at the moment they were most stuck, whatever their
+// interaction profile said. A card says the same thing four ways a person can use:
+// what happened, what the agent will do next, whether a PERSON is needed (and who), and
+// whether this is a rule rather than a fault. That last one is the expensive mistake:
+// an agent that reads a deliberate restriction as breakage goes looking for a way round
+// it (the agent that asked the owner for a personal access token).
+//
+// STATIC TEXT ONLY. A card interpolates nothing — no task title, no server message — so
+// printing it adds no prompt-injection surface (the strand-watch / push-path-brief rule).
+// The engineer text above it keeps the ids. tests/plain_cards.mjs fails when a CLI gains

+# C8 portability smoke — ART PIPELINE (#280 / V3.R61).
+#
+# Certifies the C8 promise that the art pipeline runs end-to-end on a fresh
+# checkout with the builder's OWN Gemini key — no Archon-only handoff.
+#
+# Two modes:
+#   * default (cheap, free, nightly-safe): the pinned deps import and the
+#     Gemini key resolves via gen_api's own resolution chain. This is exactly
+#     what would break on a bad fresh checkout (missing deps, no key), so it
+#     certifies "fresh clone + own key → pipeline is runnable" for $0.
+#   * full (ART_SMOKE_FULL=1): additionally runs the orchestrator on a single
+#     tile and asserts it produces output. Costs real Gemini spend (~$0.20-0.45)
+#     so it is OFF by default and must be opted into explicitly.
+#
+# In CI the job's own `actions/checkout` + `pip install -r requirements.txt`
+# IS the fresh clone; this script then proves the pipeline loads there.
+#
+# Usage:
+#   bash scripts/bongos/portability-smoke-art.sh            # cheap mode
+#   ART_SMOKE_FULL=1 bash scripts/bongos/portability-smoke-art.sh   # + paid 1-tile run
+
+set -uo pipefail
+cd "$(dirname "$0")/../.."   # repo root

+# Defense-in-depth: suppress gen_api's key-source announcement (which prints
+# the key's last 4 chars to stderr) regardless of how we were invoked, so a
+# dropped caller-side env var can never leak a key fragment into CI logs.
