Quick Start
Single-binary mode is the fastest path; TUI and containers are optional layers.

1. Build the binary
Compile from source — pure Go, no runtime dependencies.
$ go build -o bin/aicat ./cmd/aicat2
2. Initialize a project
Scaffold the workspace configuration in the current directory.
$ ./bin/aicat init3
3. Run a full pipeline
Pass a natural-language requirement and pick a backend (Codex is the real driver).
$ ./bin/aicat run "Build a REST API" --backend codex4
4. Verify quality
Run the deterministic quality gate on the artifacts produced.
$ ./bin/aicat verify
