docs: surface standalone installer in README and INSTALL.md#104
Conversation
The standalone installer (bash <(curl -fsSL tracebloc.io/i.sh) / irm tracebloc.io/i.ps1 | iex) is the one-command path for evaluation, local dev, and first-time installs — it provisions a cluster, detects GPU drivers, and deploys the client. Today it isn't documented anywhere reachable from this repo, so readers see the multi-step helm install flow as the only option. README: - New "Quick install" subsection at the top of Deploy with macOS/Linux and Windows commands, brief description of what it does, and a pointer to the local helper scripts under scripts/ - Existing helm flow relabeled as "Helm install (production)" — now positioned as the option for existing production clusters docs/INSTALL.md: - Top-of-doc callout pointing at the standalone installer for non-production users - Production-focused content untouched Closes #103 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Previous wording ("Best for evaluation, local dev, and first-time
installs" / "Just trying it out? For local dev or a quick evaluation")
implied the standalone installer produces a lesser/demo client. It
doesn't — it produces the same full client, just on a cluster the
script provisions for you.
Reframes the differentiator around cluster ownership instead of install
quality:
- README: "Use this when you don't already have a cluster — the result
is a full client install, not a demo." Helm subsection retitled
from "Helm install (production)" to just "Helm install" with
"For existing Kubernetes clusters".
- INSTALL.md: callout opens with "Don't have a Kubernetes cluster
yet?" and emphasizes "a full tracebloc client".
Refs #103
curl and PowerShell's irm both default to HTTP when no scheme is specified, so `curl -fsSL tracebloc.io/i.sh` and `irm tracebloc.io/i.ps1` issue plaintext requests. The downloaded body is piped straight into bash / iex, so a network-level attacker between the user and tracebloc.io could MITM the response and inject arbitrary code. Add explicit `https://` to every installer URL in README.md and docs/INSTALL.md so the request is encrypted from the first byte. Refs #103

Summary
The standalone installer (
bash <(curl -fsSL tracebloc.io/i.sh)/irm tracebloc.io/i.ps1 | iex) is the one-command path for evaluation, local dev, and first-time installs — it provisions a cluster, auto-detects GPU drivers (NVIDIA / AMD), and deploys the client. Today it isn't documented anywhere reachable from this repo, so readers only see the multi-stephelm installflow.README — adds a
Quick installsubsection at the top of the Deploy section with macOS/Linux and Windows one-liners, plus a pointer to the localscripts/install-k8s.sh/scripts/install-k8s.ps1helpers. The existing helm flow is relabeledHelm install (production)and reframed as the option for existing production clusters.docs/INSTALL.md — top-of-doc callout pointing non-production readers at the standalone installer. The rest of the production-focused content is untouched.
Closes #103

Note
Low Risk
Low risk documentation-only change that adds install guidance and links; no code or configuration behavior is modified.
Overview
Adds a Quick install path to the README, documenting one-command macOS/Linux and Windows bootstrap installers and linking to the repo’s helper scripts (
scripts/install-k8s.sh/scripts/install-k8s.ps1).Updates
docs/INSTALL.mdwith an upfront callout pointing users without an existing cluster to the standalone installer, while keeping the rest of the Helm-based production install instructions unchanged.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 9f10e8d.
