 ## Quick start
 
+### One-command install — recommended

+```
+
+The installer supports macOS 12+, Ubuntu 24.04+, Fedora 41+, and 64-bit Arch Linux. It installs compatible Node.js 24/npm 11 prerequisites, the exact latest `rea-agents-*` release, the official Hopper package, detected client registrations, and the bundled skill, then verifies the result. macOS uses Homebrew; Linux uses the native package manager and may show a system authorization prompt. Pin a reproducible release with `REA_VERSION=0.3.0`; `REA_VERSION` is the only supported installer environment override.
+
+REA detects Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, and Devin. It configures detected clients with documented local MCP files; Devin is reported as skipped because its public documentation does not define a local configuration file. You can safely rerun the installer or `rea setup --yes`. If REA's local analysis engine needs one-time activation, installation remains intact and setup reports the exact remaining action rather than claiming full readiness.

 Ask your agent to set up REA. It will check your Mac, explain anything it needs to install, ask for approval, and guide you through system prompts. After setup, restart the agent if it asks you to load the full REA toolset.
 
-### From Terminal
+Approve installation if needed, complete the one-time activation when prompted, then describe the app or feature you want to understand. REA handles the binary-analysis tools behind the scenes.
+
+### From Terminal — no installation
 
 ```bash
 npx -y rea-agents setup --yes
+npx -y rea-agents doctor
+npx -y rea-agents analyze /Applications/Notes.app
 ```
 
 If macOS or an installer asks for confirmation, complete the prompt and run the same command again. Restart a configured coding agent so it loads REA.

-- Node.js 24.18.x with npm 11.16.x (`nvm use` selects the pinned version)
+```bash
+npm install --global rea-agents
+rea setup --yes
+rea doctor
+rea analyze /Applications/Notes.app
+```
+
+Choose either the no-install commands or the global installation. You do not need both.
+
+### Requirements
 
-If process capture reports that its native PTY backend is unavailable, install Xcode command-line tools and run `npm run rebuild:native`. Linux source builds require Python, `make`, and a C++ toolchain. Compatible packaged binaries do not require this rebuild.
+- macOS 12 or newer
+- Ubuntu 24.04+, Fedora 41+, or 64-bit Arch Linux
+- Node.js 24.18.x with npm 11.16.x
 
-You do not need to install the reverse-engineering tools manually. Setup installs Homebrew and [Hopper](https://www.hopperapp.com/) when needed, configures detected Claude Desktop and Cursor installations, and installs the REA skill. Hopper is separate software and requires its own license; setup installs it but does not provide a license.
+You do not need to choose or install binary-analysis tools yourself. REA setup handles them when needed. Deep binary analysis currently uses [Hopper](https://www.hopperapp.com/), a separate desktop application with its own license.

+`rea doctor --json` is read-only and distinguishes unsupported hosts, missing dependencies, a missing local analysis engine, configuration drift, and healthy checks. Fresh-install activation is reported by setup because Hopper does not expose a reliable noninteractive activation probe.
+
+### Linux installation and troubleshooting
+
+On Ubuntu 24.04+, Fedora 41+, and 64-bit Arch Linux, setup downloads the matching official Hopper package, restricts downloads to Hopper's public origin, verifies the published size and checksum, and invokes `apt-get`, `dnf`, or `pacman`. When REA is not already running as root, `pkexec` presents the system authorization prompt. REA never invokes `sudo`.
+
+The normal Linux launcher is `/opt/hopper/bin/Hopper`. If Hopper was installed elsewhere:
+
+```bash
+export HOPPER_LAUNCHER_PATH=/absolute/path/to/Hopper
+rea doctor --json
+```
+
+If doctor reports a missing analysis engine even though the file exists, inspect shared-library resolution with:
+
+```bash
+ldd /opt/hopper/bin/Hopper | grep 'not found'
+```
+
+Install the missing distribution packages and rerun `rea setup --yes`. Hopper is a desktop application: real analysis requires an active `DISPLAY` or `WAYLAND_DISPLAY`, plus one-time license activation. The curl installer places the `rea` command in `~/.local/bin` on Linux; add that directory to future shell `PATH` values if it is not already present.
+
+REA defaults `HOPPER_LAUNCHER_PATH` to `/Applications/Hopper Disassembler.app/Contents/MacOS/hopper` on macOS and `/opt/hopper/bin/Hopper` on Linux. Explicit configuration always takes precedence.
+
+To remove only REA-owned MCP registrations and the managed skill:
+
+```bash
+rea uninstall
+rea uninstall --purge-data # also removes only ~/.rea/cache and ~/.rea/state
+```
+
+Uninstall preserves Hopper, Homebrew, Node.js, evidence, captures, external evidence roots, unrelated skills, and other MCP servers. It refuses malformed client configuration and never follows purge-data symlinks.

+- Open Mach-O, ELF, PE, `.app`, ZIP, APK, IPA, ASAR, plist, JavaScript, source-map, and Hopper database targets.
+- Traverse content-addressed artifact graphs without extraction; materialize only approved occurrences into absent output roots.
 - Build bounded function dossiers with pseudocode, assembly, CFG edges, comments, calls, references, strings, and names.
 - Search and trace features across symbols, strings, metadata, references, and call paths.
 - Record every successful result as deterministic Evidence v2 with artifact and provider identity, confidence, authority, limitations, and locations.
 - Export and import evidence bundles across sessions.
 - Capture approved PTY scenarios, child processes, filesystem changes, and loopback HTTP/WebSocket exchanges, then compare normalized captures.
+- Compare complete artifact inventories by stable path, content, metadata, and relations; incomplete evidence never implies equivalence.
+- Compare explicit function dossiers across text, calls, references, strings, and address-normalized CFG topology with per-facet unknowns.
+- Compare canonical Evidence bundles by exact membership, explicit observation pairs, and residual-unknown histories without turning omissions into behavioral absence.
+- Aggregate runtime comparisons into observed behavior changes while keeping static artifact/function differences labeled as candidates.
+- Build bounded, Evidence-cited direct call paths by exact address without treating missing dossiers as graph leaves.
+- Correlate exact static/runtime findings through explicit hypotheses without claiming causality from cochange.
+- Verify finite behavioral and structural reconstruction specifications with pass, fail, and unknown kept distinct.
+- Track residual unknowns through immutable CAS revisions, evidence-qualified resolution, contradictions, probes, and validated dependency relationships.
+- With explicit `unknown_registry_approved: true`, record bounded trace/capture residuals, typed provider unavailability, and capture disagreements automatically.

 ## Security model
 
 REA does not provide a hosted analysis service. Hopper communication uses an authenticated private local socket. Dynamic capabilities are disabled by default and require both operator policy and explicit per-call approval. REA is not a security sandbox: providers and launched targets run with the current user's permissions, and each capability reports its side effects and limitations. Report vulnerabilities through the private process in [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md).
