Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Setup Catalyst

Diagnose the full Catalyst environment, fix everything fixable, and verify the fixes worked.

## Phase 1: Diagnose

Locate and run the health check script:

```bash
source "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-plugins/foundry}/scripts/require-catalyst-dev.sh" \
    "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-plugins/foundry}" || exit 1
bash "${CATALYST_DEV_SCRIPTS}/check-setup.sh" 2>&1 || true
```

Categorize every warning/failure into **Auto-fixable**, **Needs user input**, or **Manual only**.

## Before trusting the replica: detect whether this host is cloud-mirrored

Some checks below (Linear workspace state, `botUserId`) read `~/catalyst/catalyst-replica.db`. Don't assume it's authoritative — probe presence + freshness (reuse the existing freshness-gate helper) and the opt-in runtime-config marker first, and fall back loudly when either is missing. This is a checked, recoverable assumption, not a silent one — full detection steps, the loud-fallback wording, and why the fallback is a non-fleet answer only: [references/cloud-detection.md](references/cloud-detection.md).

## Phase 2: Fix
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add coalesce-labs/catalyst/setup-catalyst@sha256:2e2b639da53a525c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.cb86e8e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
