-`rde` prepares a Mac or Linux machine for data-engineering work with Metabase and coding agents. One command, `rde init`, sets up everything a working setup needs: the `mb` CLI, the `rde` skill for your coding agents, a running Metabase Enterprise instance (in Docker, or a jar run with the machine's Java), an admin user, an API key wired into `mb`, transforms switched on, your license, a database of your own for transforms to write to, and a git repository connected through Metabase's remote sync. It decides what it can on its own and asks only for what it cannot know: your license token, a connection string for your own database (`init` goes no further without one), and with a license, where the git repository lives. Every step checks whether it is already done, so the wizard can be interrupted at any prompt and picked up again with the same command.

 After `init`, the rest is lifecycle: `rde start`, `rde stop`, `rde status`, `rde logs`, `rde open`, and `rde db add` when another database comes along. The instance lives under `~/.rde`, listens on `127.0.0.1` only, and is used through `mb` and through the agent skill.

When none is found, the step is skipped and says how to add the skills once an agent is installed; `rde` installs no agent.

 | Enable transforms | Turns transforms on, unless someone already set them either way: turned off in the admin settings, they stay off on every later `rde init`, and the admin settings turn them back on |

The token unlocks remote sync (the `remote-sync` feature, which the git step needs), data apps (`data-apps`), and transform tests (`transforms-testing`); skipping the license goes without all three, and an activated token that lacks some is named with the ones it lacks.

Either way, once the new major runs, `rde upgrade` runs the skills step, because the data-app skills come from the release branch of the Metabase the instance runs; at a terminal it asks which agents get them like `rde init` does, and with `--yes` every agent found gets them.

 For a Docker instance the target is an image ref (`--to <image ref>`; by default, for an image of `metabase/metabase-enterprise`, `metabase/metabase-enterprise-head`, or `metabase/metabase`, the major line of the newest release, found the way `init` finds it, whatever tag the instance ran before: `:latest`, an older major line, or the same line), the pulled image is compared by id with the one the container runs, and the container is removed and created again from the target with the same port and mount and the environment rde sets now. An image from any other repository (a registry of your own, an image you built) is pulled again under its own ref, and the plan says so. The default target follows the feed rules of [Metabase versions](#metabase-versions): a feed that lists no release of 65 or newer, or cannot be read, stops the upgrade before it starts Metabase or pulls anything. With `RDE_DEV=1` the default target is the instance's own image. When the target is the image already running, a container created under another ref of it (`:latest` that names the same image as the line, say) or one that keeps variables rde sets otherwise now (the staging store of development mode, say) is still created again from that image under the target's ref, with no backup since nothing migrates; `rde doctor` names a container with such variables, with `rde upgrade` as the fix. A build of master (`metabase/metabase-enterprise-head:latest`, the development image) reports a major ahead of every release, so `rde upgrade` refuses it as a downgrade; `rde doctor` names one outside development mode, and the way onto a release is `rde uninstall`, then `rde init`, while `RDE_DEV=1` keeps running it. For a jar instance the target is `latest` (the default, the newest release), a release tag, or a `.jar` path; a release is downloaded into `~/.rde/jars/` before the question, and the instance's `runtime.source` is switched to it.

+**The agent follows the wrong data-app skill.** The `data-app skills` row fails when `metabase-data-apps` is missing or its copy did not come from rde's source (against a local `RDE_SKILL_SOURCE`, the checkout's `skills/metabase-data-apps/v1/SKILL.md`), or when a copy of an earlier per-task data-app skill (`metabase-data-app-setup` and the like) that the skills lock attributes to `metabase/metabase` is still there, whoever installed it. `rde init --only agents-skills` (or `rde doctor --fix`) installs the skills and removes the copies `metabase-data-apps` replaces; a copy also installed for an agent that has no `metabase-data-apps` after the run stays, and the run names the `--agents` that let it go. Restart the agent session afterwards.
 
 **The license token is rejected.** Metabase checks the token with `token-check.metabase.com` before it saves it. `The license token was refused: <reason>` means the store turned the token down: check that you pasted the whole token and that its subscription is active. `The instance could not reach token-check.metabase.com to check the license token` means the check never got an answer: the container (or the jar) needs outbound network access to that host. At a terminal the step asks for the token again, and Enter skips the license and carries on without remote sync, data apps, and transform tests; without a terminal the run stops, and `rde init --from license` tries again.
