Copy-pasteable runbook for the case where:
- VM is already provisioned
- Gitea is already installed and running on :3300
- Repos are already cloned on the VM
- User needs to wire admin + npm-user + token + laptop end-to-end
10 numbered steps with expected outputs and troubleshooting:
1. Create Gitea admin user (idempotent skip if exists)
2. Create npm owner user (learning_ai_user)
3. Mint npm-scoped token via API
4. Write token to ~/.gitea_npm_token_home on laptop
5. Update ~/.gitea_vm_host with VM hostname
6. Pre-flight verification via doctor.sh (expects 404 on probe)
7. Publish @bytelyst/* via publish-local-packages.sh
8. End-to-end verification (re-run doctor + smoke-test pnpm install)
9. Optional: backfill historical versions
10. Persist environment in ~/.zshrc
Includes troubleshooting table, persistence map (what survives VM reboot
vs rebuild), and Azure NSG/firewall guidance.
