For infrastructure / build / CI / dev-tooling setup, Mike wants forward momentum. **Don't stop to
ask before routine prerequisite steps** — e.g. installing Node.js on a build VM, adding tools to
PATH, installing a toolchain, registering a runner. Just do them and report.

**Reserve check-ins for genuine decisions:** architecture forks, destructive or
outward-facing/irreversible actions, ambiguous requirements, or anything touching client/production
state. Routine "X needs to be installed" is not a decision — install it.

Stated 2026-05-29 during the PLUTO Gitea-Actions-runner setup (re: installing Node for host-mode JS
actions). Related: [[reference_pluto_build_server]], [[feedback_gururmm]] (the #bot-alerts internal-vs-client rule lives there).
