+//
+// Scaffolds HC-101's local-CI assets into the adopter's repo so they can
+// switch `ci.gate: local` and avoid burning GitHub Actions minutes. Pairs
+// with the X-Hone-Recommendation header the server emits when an adopter
+// posts a job with ci.gate=none — both nudge toward "real safety net via
+// local-mode" instead of "no safety net via none-mode".
+//
+// What this command does:
+//   1. Pulls the Makefile template + compose.local-ci.yml template from
+//      GET /scripts/local-ci/{makefile,compose} (lives inside /server/
+//      so it ships with Railway deploys per HC-019y-followup-3-railway-path).
+//   2. Writes them to the adopter's repo root. Existing files are backed
+//      up to `<file>.hone-backup` to avoid clobbering adopter customizations.
+//   3. Flips `.pipeline-config.yml`'s `ci.gate` to `local` so the very next
+//      `hone run-story` uses the new gate. Existing pipeline-config is
+//      required (run `hone setup` first); the command refuses to scaffold
+//      otherwise so the gate flip doesn't dangle without a config.
+//   4. Prints a copy-paste checklist of next steps (customize Makefile
+//      targets, run `make ci`, etc.).
