Documentation

README

Excerpt

Butterbase Preflight

Gate that ensures the user can actually talk to the Butterbase platform before any stage tries to. Writes results to docs/butterbase/03-preflight.md and stamps app_id + api_base into 00-state.md.

When to use

Automatically as the first step of any journey-* build stage when 03-preflight.md is missing, older than 24 hours, or 00-state.md's app_id is null.
Directly via /butterbase-skills:journey-preflight when the user wants to re-verify.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
