The fast lane

Unit 1 — The environment

Outcome: prove which Python and repository environment will execute the course before debugging agent code.

In approximately 45 minutes, learners install the locked environment, run the setup doctor, select the offline provider lane, and record a reproducible environment receipt. The required path needs no API key and no network after installation.

Learning contract

The unit is complete when the doctor identifies the supported Python interpreter, imports bootcamp_agent from this checkout, finds the teaching corpus, and reports the deterministic provider. A wrong interpreter, missing kernel, or copied notebook outside the repository must fail with an actionable message.

Artifact

Submit the executed notebook and retain the doctor output. Environment variables and secrets must not appear in either artifact.
