aibast-staging-ring-test

AIBAST staging ring test (Windows)

You are testing the staging build of the AIBAST Agents Library Brainstem before it is promoted to production. The caller selects a maintainer's fork with AIBAST_STAGING_REPOSITORY=OWNER/REPOSITORY. Its Pages site serves the staging one-liner, which must install that fork's staging branch. Never assume a personal fork or use the Microsoft production one-liner for this test.

The deliverable is an evidence report, not an opinion. Every step below produces something to paste into the report. If a step fails, capture the exact error text and continue with the steps that do not depend on it.

Instructions for Copilot

Execute these steps autonomously in PowerShell. Pause only where marked ⏸.

1. Prerequisites

$PSVersionTable.PSVersion
git --version
python --version

Python 3.11 or newer and Git must be present. If Python is missing, the installer will try to help; note whatever it prints.

Confirm the caller's selected fork before installing anything:

$stagingRepository = $env:AIBAST_STAGING_REPOSITORY
if ($stagingRepository -notmatch '^[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9-]*/[A-Za-z0-9_.-]+$') {
    throw 'Set AIBAST_STAGING_REPOSITORY to the maintainer fork as OWNER/REPOSITORY.'
}
$repoInfo = Invoke-RestMethod "https://api.github.com/repos/$stagingRepository"
if (-not $repoInfo.fork -or $repoInfo.source.full_name -ne 'microsoft/aibast-agents-library') {
    throw 'The selected repository is not a verified fork of the Microsoft library.'
}
$stagingRepository = $repoInfo.full_name
$stagingOwner, $stagingName = $stagingRepository -split '/', 2
$stagingSite = "https://$stagingOwner.github.io/$stagingName/"

2. Choose the profile (⏸ ask the user)

Default to an isolated profile so the user's existing Brainstem, if any, is untouched:

$env:USERPROFILE = Join-Path $env:TEMP 'aibast-ring-test'
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $env:USERPROFILE | Out-Null

Ask the user only if they want the real install over their current profile instead. The real install repoints %USERPROFILE%\.brainstem\src to the staging branch and keeps their soul, agents, and token.
