## Purpose

Analyze SQL Server Setup Bootstrap log artifacts to find why an installation, upgrade,
patch (CU/SP), repair, or cluster node operation failed — and to flag risky setup-time
configuration before it becomes production drift. Applies 24 checks (U1–U24) across four
categories:

- **U1–U6** — Summary and outcome: final result failure, exit-code extraction, failed
  rules, partial feature failure, patch/upgrade per-instance failures, component update
  phase failures
- **U7–U13** — Rule-failure patterns: pending reboot, disk space, account/permission,
  prerequisites, cluster rules, policy blockers, Global Rules phase
- **U14–U18** — Detail.txt and MSI forensics: end-of-file exceptions, MSI "Return value 3",
  setup crashes, failure-chain root-cause ordering, Datastore state files
- **U19–U24** — ConfigurationFile.ini review: service accounts, instant file
  initialization, TempDB layout, security surface, feature sprawl, directory placement

Setup runs three phases — (1) Global Rules verification, (2) Component update,
(3) the user-requested action — and writes a dated log folder per run. This skill is the
