 Examples:
-  # Recommended (remote install):
-  # curl -fsSL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cloud-neutral-toolkit/console.svc.plus/main/scripts/setup.sh?$(date +%s)" | bash -s -- console.svc.plus

 Notes:
-  - This script clones the repo (if missing), installs dependencies, and prints next steps.
-  - No secrets are written. If .env does not exist, it will copy .env.example -> .env.
+  - Safe: no secrets written; no destructive actions.
+  - If .env does not exist, it copies .env.example -> .env (placeholder only).
