+ * It deploys `deploy/cloudformation/bootstrap.yaml`, which creates:
+ *   • the S3 buckets that hold the Lambda placeholder + hosted templates, and
+ *   • the GitHub OIDC provider + trust that lets CI assume a deploy role.
+ * It then uploads the Lambda placeholder bundle to the artifacts bucket, so the
+ * account is immediately ready for per-app deploys (`rastack init`).
+ *
+ * `rastack init` still creates this stack on demand if it is missing, so
+ * `bootstrap` is the explicit, app-independent way to do the same thing up front
+ * (e.g. an account admin preparing an account before app teams run `init`).
+ * `--reuse-oidc` skips creating the GitHub OIDC provider (AWS allows only one per
+ * URL per account); `--print` shows the exact single-line `aws cloudformation
+ * deploy` command without touching the cloud.
