 - Don't invent dependencies: before importing a library confirm it's in the project's manifest (package.json / requirements.txt / Cargo.toml / go.mod) or a neighboring file; when installing, don't pin a guessed version — let the package manager's resolver pick a real one.

 Runtime facts:
 - bash returns an exit code; non-zero = failure. Background long-running commands (`cmd &`) so bash returns.
