 For routing, compare the implementation ladder with canonical POLICY, exercise English/Russian operation/risk regressions and override precedence, provider-review status/sources, and distinguish recommendations from executed model controls. For stack profiles, exercise manifest evidence, module scoping, and command drafting; for Filament specifically test Composer dependency/lock evidence and source/native skill lifecycle. For optional metrics, verify failure/recovery accounting, missing-value coverage, duplicate/lock/path guards, private/team journal visibility, schema 1/2 compatibility, experiment/arm/task identity, per-provider analyze output, and upgrade preservation.

Keep native costs separate; tests make no live calls.
 Resolve temporary fixture roots before deriving paths used by guards, assertions, or injected failures. Test equivalent path spellings; keep cleanup bound to original disposable directories. [Windows CI regression](../../../docs/WINDOWS_CI_FIX.md) records the relevant scenario.

Require exact version/tag/repository gates, owner approval and future tag coverage; agents must not approve deployments. OIDC belongs only in upload jobs consuming validated same-run artifacts. Keep setup, upload and live MCP activation separate.
 For repository administration or changes to existing required CI names, consult [repository maintenance](../../../CONTRIBUTING.md#repository-maintenance), verify live protection and emitted names, and keep required checks aligned.

Exercise linked/blocked paths, private/team upgrade preservation, Git/build/package exclusions and installed CLI execution. Do not infer semantic agreement from no keyed conflicts or claim live sync/upload from local export. Preserve raw sources and default project context.

 For [Context7](../../../docs/CONTEXT7.md), check opt-in skill/registry selection, independent persistence, source/native copies, local conflicts and unchanged native MCP configuration. Keep normal skill discovery, version-aware sanitized queries and remote activation separate. Recheck client schemas/authentication against primary docs; a source revision does not pin the hosted service.
 For [Web Design](../../../docs/WEB_DESIGN.md), check whole-module default absence, multi-entry skill selection, independent persistence, created-once project documents, native copies/retirement, local conflicts and linked/blocked paths. Exercise workflow context scope, required design memory above budgets, plain HTML without assumed stack facts, private raw output/team visibility and offline wheel resources. Keep TypeUI/SkillUI setup and real browser/Laravel acceptance separate from installer evidence; adopt external guidance only within the selected stack/visual system.
-For a requested release, synchronize VERSION, root changelog, README, WIKI and maintainer context; keep kit history out of templates. Recheck CLI/version, kit, isolated archives, offline installation and prior-version upgrade preservation. Distinguish checks before/after labeling.

Each stable release still needs your human approval before PyPI upload.
 
+## Windows: installation and troubleshooting
+
+Use **Windows PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell 7** with Python **3.10+**. The examples below are PowerShell commands: copy the command itself, without a `PS C:\>` prompt. Run them in your application's folder when a target of `.` is shown.
+
+AI-KIT creates project instructions, memory scaffolding and selected client resources. In an empty project, tell your coding agent which application and stack you want during bootstrap; stack detection needs actual project files. A source checkout of AI-KIT and your application are separate folders.
+
+### Windows quick start: an empty project
+
+**1. Check Python and install the package.** Use the same `python` for installation and execution:
+
+~~~powershell
+python --version
+python -m pip --version
+python -m pip install --upgrade ai-kit-python
+python -m aikit.aikit_cli --version
+~~~
+
+The package is **`ai-kit-python`**, its short executable is **`aikit.exe`**, and its module entry point is **`python -m aikit.aikit_cli`**. The module entry point works even when Windows cannot find `aikit.exe` through PATH. A successful installation can still print a Scripts/PATH warning; see [the error guide](#windows-error-guide).
+
+**2. Choose a project directory and preview.** Change `my-app` to your project name. This example uses a directory owned by your Windows user and also works when its path contains spaces:
+
+~~~powershell
+$projectPath = Join-Path $env:USERPROFILE 'Projects\my-app'
+New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $projectPath -Force | Out-Null
+Set-Location -LiteralPath $projectPath
+python -m aikit.aikit_cli install . --agent codex --mode private
+~~~
+
+Review the proposed files and detected settings. Preview writes nothing to the project. If you already have a folder, set `$projectPath` to that folder instead. A Git repository can be initialized there separately with `git init` when wanted.
+
+**3. Apply the reviewed plan and check it.** Keep the same agent, sharing mode and optional-module flags:
+
+~~~powershell
+python -m aikit.aikit_cli install . --agent codex --mode private --apply --check
+~~~
+
+`--apply` writes the installation; `--check` runs the project doctor afterward. Existing project documents and local edits follow the normal preservation/conflict rules. Private mode selects local instruction visibility; it does not encrypt files.
+
+**4. Bootstrap in the coding client.** Open this application folder in Codex, then send `$ai-kit-bootstrap` in the **Codex chat**. This is a skill invocation in the client, not a PowerShell command. For Claude Code use `--agent claude` in both installer commands and `/ai-kit-bootstrap` in its chat; repeat `--agent` to configure both clients.
+
+Tell the agent what you are building, the intended stack and your constraints. If the client has not discovered the installed skill, confirm that it opened the target project, and ask it to read the target's `AGENTS.md` and `ai-kit/BOOTSTRAP.md`. Installing files and actual client activation are separate steps.
+
+Optional features stay explicit. For example, add `--with-web-design` to **both** preview and apply when you want the [Web Design module](#web-design). The [orchestration module](#optional-orchestration) has its own configuration and limits.
+
+### Windows isolated CLI: no activation required
+
+For a reusable CLI environment outside your application, use a user-owned folder. This avoids installing into a system Python and avoids the `Activate.ps1` execution-policy problem:
+
+~~~powershell
+$cliEnv = Join-Path $env:LOCALAPPDATA 'AI-KIT\venv'
+python -m venv "$cliEnv"
+& "$cliEnv\Scripts\python.exe" -m pip install --upgrade ai-kit-python
+& "$cliEnv\Scripts\aikit.exe" --version
+~~~
+
+From the application folder, preview and then apply separately:
+
+~~~powershell
+& "$cliEnv\Scripts\aikit.exe" install . --agent codex --mode private
+~~~
+
+~~~powershell
+& "$cliEnv\Scripts\aikit.exe" install . --agent codex --mode private --apply --check
+~~~
+
+The leading `&` executes a quoted path in PowerShell. Keep using this environment's executables for its installs and updates. Python documents that [environment activation is optional](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html#how-venvs-work); using explicit paths is enough. A new PowerShell window needs the `$cliEnv` assignment again, while the environment files remain on disk.
+
+### Why installing the package may not enable the aikit command
+
+There are three separate states:
+
+| State | What it means | How to check |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Installed Python package | One particular interpreter can import AI-KIT. | `python -m pip show ai-kit-python` and `python -m aikit.aikit_cli --version` |
+| Saved user PATH | A Scripts directory is persisted for your Windows account. | `[Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'User')` |
+| Current process PATH | This terminal has a current copy of the directories used to find executables. | `$env:Path` and `Get-Command aikit -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue` |
+
+PowerShell processes inherit their environment from their parent. Saving a user PATH entry does not rewrite the environment of every already-running terminal or editor. A new tab or shell opened by an older Windows Terminal, VS Code or Codex process can still inherit its old PATH. See Microsoft's [environment-variable scope and inheritance documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_environment_variables).
+
+This explains the common sequence: pip reports `Successfully installed`, the Scripts directory is saved in user PATH, but the current terminal still reports `CommandNotFoundException`.
+
+### Fix PATH in the current PowerShell window
+
+The quickest route is to keep using `python -m aikit.aikit_cli`. To make the short command available, import missing saved user-PATH entries into **the same PowerShell window that reports the error**, preserving its existing entries:
+
+~~~powershell
+$savedUserPath = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'User')

+This refresh changes only the current process. If the Scripts directory has not been saved yet, use the permanent setup below. For future sessions, completely exit and reopen the **hosting terminal/editor application**; opening another tab can preserve the old parent environment. Save ongoing work before restarting an editor. A check in a separately refreshed process establishes that process's PATH, not the state of an older interactive window.
+
+### Add the correct Scripts directory to user PATH permanently
+
+Python layouts vary. For example, a Python 3.14 installation may use `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Python\pythoncore-3.14-64\Scripts`; older installations may use a different directory. Discover the location for the interpreter that already runs AI-KIT, rather than copying another user's path. Python exposes these paths through [sysconfig installation schemes](https://docs.python.org/3/library/sysconfig.html#installation-path-functions).

+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `The term 'aikit' is not recognized` / `CommandNotFoundException` | The current shell cannot find `aikit.exe`. | Use `python -m aikit.aikit_cli`; then check saved versus process PATH and use the refresh/permanent steps above. |
+| `WARNING: The script aikit.exe is installed in ... which is not on PATH` | Pip installed the package, but the launcher directory is absent from that process's PATH. | Follow the exact directory in the warning or discover it with `sysconfig`. A successful module launch verifies the selected interpreter's package. |
+| The user PATH entry exists, but another tab still cannot find `aikit` | A running parent terminal/editor still has its earlier environment. | Refresh the failing window or restart the hosting application completely. |
+| `No module named aikit` | This `python` differs from the interpreter used by pip, or its environment lacks the package. | Bind installation and execution to the same interpreter as shown below. |
+| `python` is not recognized, or Windows opens the Store | No usable Python is selected, or an application alias resolves instead of the intended interpreter. | Follow the official Windows setup guide and inspect `Get-Command python -All`; an existing interpreter can be invoked by its full path with `&`. |
+| `No module named pip` | The selected Python does not have pip. | For an installation that supports it, run `python -m ensurepip --upgrade`, then `python -m pip --version`. |
+| `Activate.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled` | PowerShell execution policy blocks the activation script. | Use the isolated environment's `python.exe` / `aikit.exe` directly. Activation is optional; no policy change is needed for this route. |
+| `Access is denied`, `PermissionError` or `[WinError 5]` | The install destination or project is not writable, or a file is in use. | Use the user-owned isolated CLI and a writable project folder. Stop processes holding affected files before retrying; running the whole setup as administrator is unnecessary for a user-owned setup. |
+| `No matching distribution found for ai-kit-python` | Unsupported Python, incorrect package spelling or an unavailable/configured package index. | Confirm Python 3.10+, the exact `ai-kit-python` name and the intended index. Check connectivity and the public project page. |
+| TLS, certificate, proxy or timeout error during pip installation | Network settings, certificates or registry connectivity. | Check the system clock and approved proxy/CA configuration; use your organization's supported setup. Retrying PATH changes does not fix a failed download. |
+| `Unexpected token` around a quoted executable path | A quoted path was supplied as a string without PowerShell's call operator. | Use `& "C:\path with spaces\Scripts\aikit.exe" --version`. |
+| `Cannot install an application kit inside the reference distribution` | `.` points at the AI-KIT source folder or a child of it. | Switch to the separate application folder and rerun preview. |
+| `Refusing a linked target root` or another linked-path refusal | A selected root/managed path is a symlink or junction. | Use the real application directory and inspect the reported path; preserve existing files and review layout conflicts. |
+| Preview lists conflicts or `--check` reports a problem | Local customizations or an incomplete/incompatible project installation need review. | Review the candidates and run the doctor. Preserve local edits; `--accept-local` is for an explicitly reviewed merge. |

+
+#### Resolve multiple Python installations
+
+Inspect the interpreter and its package together:
+
+~~~powershell
+Get-Command python -All
+python -c "import sys; print(sys.executable)"
+python -m pip --version
+python -m pip show ai-kit-python
+python -m aikit.aikit_cli --version
+~~~
+
+If these refer to the wrong Python, use the intended executable explicitly. Replace the example path with your actual interpreter path:
+
+~~~powershell
+$pythonExe = 'C:\Path\To\Python\python.exe'
+& $pythonExe -m pip install --upgrade ai-kit-python
+& $pythonExe -m aikit.aikit_cli --version
+& $pythonExe -m aikit.aikit_cli install . --agent codex --mode private
+~~~
+
+This binds pip and the CLI to the same runtime. A short `aikit` command can still select another installation earlier in PATH; `Get-Command aikit -All` shows its candidates. See [Python on Windows](https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html) for interpreter/alias setup and [pip's invocation guide](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#running-pip) for interpreter-bound installation.
+
+#### Check an installed project and update it later
+
+After applying AI-KIT in the application directory:
+
+~~~powershell
+python -m aikit.aikit_cli doctor .
+~~~
+
+Updating the Python package updates the CLI. To update project instructions too, preview and apply against that application separately:
+
+~~~powershell
+python -m pip install --upgrade ai-kit-python
+python -m aikit.aikit_cli install .
+~~~
+
+After reviewing the preview:
+
+~~~powershell
+python -m aikit.aikit_cli install . --apply --check
+~~~
+
+For the isolated CLI, use `& "$cliEnv\Scripts\python.exe" -m pip ...` and `& "$cliEnv\Scripts\aikit.exe" ...` instead. Existing saved agent/module/sharing selections are retained when omitted; pass selection flags only when intentionally changing them. See [project upgrades](#update-an-application-project) for preservation and conflicts.

 ## Run AI-KIT with Docker
 
 **Build AI-KIT once, then run its CLI against a mounted application folder.** The image contains Python, Git, the packaged kit and all optional integration resources. Installation and the ordinary offline helpers need no host Python or network access at runtime. Each command exits when it finishes; there is no server to keep running.
 
-This is an alternative way to run the same installer. Open your coding agent in the application afterward and bootstrap normally. The image supplies neither an AI agent nor a model API adapter. Web Design, Context7, Cloudflare security-audit and Strix remain opt-in instruction modules; their external tools and live execution require separate setup.

-For an upgrade, review the new kit revision, rebuild with its `VERSION`, preview against the same application folder and then apply normally. Review base/tool updates and rerun the image checks. After testing, measure only identifiable project test volumes/cache; follow the canonical [cleanup policy](template/ai-kit/CONTAINERS.md#post-test-docker-cleanup). A shared builder does not prove project ownership, and no automatic unscoped prune is part of this workflow.
+For an upgrade, review the new revision, rebuild with VERSION, preview against the same application and apply normally. Review build inputs and rerun image checks. Complete the canonical [maximum cleanup](template/ai-kit/CONTAINERS.md#post-test-docker-cleanup) afterward; the operational guide below distinguishes resource deletion, RAM return and virtual-disk compaction.
+
+### Maximum Docker cleanup and host reclamation
+
+AI-KIT now requires housekeeping after **every Docker build, test and debugging task**, including failed or interrupted runs once diagnostic evidence is saved. There is **no size or age threshold**. The goal is **zero eligible disposable resources**, rather than retaining a cache allowance. Agents clean within established ownership and authorization; installation itself runs no cleanup daemon or host compactor. The [container contract](template/ai-kit/CONTAINERS.md#post-test-docker-cleanup) owns the rules.
+
+#### What the agent must remove
+
+| Resource | Required treatment |
+| --- | --- |
+| Temporary containers | Save necessary reports, stop completed task-owned services and remove their containers. |
+| Anonymous and named test volumes | Remove all proven-disposable, unreferenced volumes after checking their data purpose. An unused database volume can still hold important data. |
+| Test networks | Remove disposable networks after their containers are removed and references rechecked. |
+| Images | Remove unnecessary intermediate/superseded test images; preserve the required final image and documented recovery artifacts. |
+| Build cache | Use a dedicated project/run builder, remove all its reclaimable cache and retire disposable builders through Buildx. Shared caches need exact record ownership or an established host-wide scope. |
+| Host RAM and disk allocation | Perform supported reclamation separately and measure it separately from Docker's deleted bytes. |
+
+Before creating resources, record the Docker context, run identity and builder. Add project/run labels and `ai-kit.disposable=true` to temporary containers, networks and volumes. Keep reports outside disposable storage. Exact known-safe resources can be removed even if their byte count is unavailable; unknown ownership never becomes permission to erase data.
+
+For new builds, use a builder dedicated to the task. These Bash/PowerShell-compatible commands illustrate a new, previously unused builder name:
+
+```sh
+docker buildx create --name myapp-tests --driver docker-container
+docker buildx build --builder myapp-tests --load --tag myapp:test .
+docker buildx du --builder myapp-tests
+```
+
+After all work using that builder has completed and the required final image is retained:
+
+```sh
+docker buildx prune --builder myapp-tests --all --force
+docker buildx rm myapp-tests
+```
+
+Verify no active build uses it first. Do not reuse the example name if it belongs to another task. Removing a builder through Buildx is preferable to deleting its storage volume directly. The `--all` flag also includes internal/frontend cache records; supported options depend on installed Buildx. [Buildx prune](https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/buildx/prune/).
+
+For containers, images, networks and volumes, use the exact reviewed IDs/names. `docker system df -v` and the read-only `scripts/docker_test_usage.py --project NAME --builder NAME` helper provide evidence; the helper neither decides disposability nor deletes anything.
+
+**A complete local development-host cleanup is a separate scope.** Establish it once with the owner, record retained resources and reuse that agreement. `docker system prune --all --volumes` removes stopped containers, unused images/networks/cache and anonymous volumes; it does **not** remove all unused named volumes. `docker volume prune --all` can remove named volumes and their data. Do not apply these broad commands to a shared/remote daemon or unknown volumes merely because Docker reports them as unused. [Docker pruning semantics](https://docs.docker.com/engine/manage-resources/pruning/).
+
+#### Return RAM to Windows with WSL2
+
+Deleting images and volumes does not prove that Windows received RAM back. Check the installed Docker Desktop backend and WSL version. In WSL2, Resource Saver pauses the engine and reduces CPU use; it does not itself reclaim WSL RAM. Use supported WSL memory reclamation. [Docker Resource Saver](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/use-desktop/resource-saver/).
+
+When host configuration changes are authorized, merge this value into the existing user `.wslconfig` under its existing `[experimental]` section, preserving other sections and settings:
+
+```ini
+[experimental]
+autoMemoryReclaim=dropCache
+```
+
+Check whether it is already set; do not create duplicate sections or overwrite memory/CPU/network settings. Configuration applies when WSL restarts. `wsl --shutdown` stops **all** WSL distributions, so schedule it only in an authorized maintenance window after checking other terminals, services, containers and builds. Otherwise leave unrelated work running and report the pending restart. Measure actual host memory before and after; configuration alone is not proof of reclaimed bytes. [Microsoft WSL configuration](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl-config).
+
+#### Reclaim physical virtual-disk space
+
+Docker's logical usage, a virtual disk's capacity and the disk file's physical allocation are different measurements. Removing resources can leave a large VHDX on the Windows disk.
+
+1. Finish resource cleanup and preserve required data/backups. Identify the actual Docker backend, configured data location and exact virtual disk; locations vary between Docker Desktop versions and can be customized.
+2. Use that backend/version's supported trim or disk-reclaim procedure. Check the applicable release notes; automatic reclaim behavior has changed between versions.
+3. If physical allocation remains, prepare supported **offline compaction**. Verify the resolved disk path, backup/recovery method, sufficient host free space and an authorized idle maintenance window. Stop Docker/WSL gracefully only after establishing that no unrelated workloads will be interrupted.
+4. Compact only a detached or read-only dynamic disk with supported tooling, such as DiskPart `compact vdisk` where applicable. Never compact a live disk, use `clean`, erase/unregister the Docker distro, delete the data VHDX, shrink filesystem capacity or fill the disk with zero files as a shortcut.
+5. Restore the runtime if it was stopped, verify retained containers/data and compare host free space and physical allocation. Sparse-file length alone is not an allocation measurement. If the backend, privileges or maintenance window are unavailable, report the specific blocker; complete all other eligible cleanup.
+
+[Microsoft compaction requirements](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/compact-vdisk) and [Docker release notes](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/release-notes/) define supported behavior. A running CLI container cannot compact its host's Docker disk; the image intentionally has no Docker socket or administrative host access.
+
+The completion report lists removed resources, eligible leftovers (target zero), protected resources/reasons, and separately verified Docker/cache, RAM and host-disk changes. Do not report physical reclamation merely because prune succeeded.
