Commit the lockfile and run project commands through <code>uv run</code>.</li>\n<li><strong>Docker:</strong> ROS 2, native libraries, apt packages, an exact Linux userspace,\nor deployment as a container.</li>\n<li><strong>Docker plus uv:</strong> use Docker for the system layer and a project environment\nfor substantial Python dependencies; do not turn the image's system Python\ninto an untracked package set.</li>\n<li><strong>Remote GPU host:</strong> use when the workload has no viable local hardware path.\nRecord this as a deliberate exception to local/remote symmetry.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Preflight the actual machine before deciding. Confirm architecture, OS, Docker\ndaemon, accelerator, driver, disk, and available Python tooling. Use the Robium\ndoctor if present; fall back to direct probes when it is not.</p>\n<h2>Keep the contract reproducible</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Pin Python and dependency resolution with a lockfile, or pin the container\nbase and build inputs. Avoid <code>latest</code> for reproducible applications.</li>\n<li>Keep dependency declarations in one source of truth; do not preserve manual\ninstallation steps as hidden prerequisites.</li>\n<li>Match container CUDA/runtime requirements to the target host driver rather\nthan the developer laptop.</li>\n<li>Design remote work as headless first. Use web visualization instead of making\nX forwarding part of the normal workflow.</li>\n<li>Test the same entry command in the target environment and prove important\nhardware, file, device, network, and display assumptions.</li>\n<li>Before claiming first-run reproducibility, run the complete setup from a\nclean project copy with the relevant package, model, and asset caches empty.\nA warm development checkout can hide broken fetch and bootstrap behavior.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Go deeper only when needed</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Pure Python and lockfiles: <a href=\"references/uv-patterns.md\">uv patterns</a>.</li>\n<li>ROS/system images, build layout, and parity: <a href=\"references/docker-patterns.md\">Docker patterns</a>.</li>\n<li>NVIDIA passthrough and headless operation: <a href=\"references/gpu-and-remote.md\">GPU and remote</a>.</li>\n<li>Real-robot LAN, Wi-Fi, DDS/NAT, and Mac host issues: <a href=\"references/robot-networking.md\">robot networking</a>.</li>\n<li>Workloads that can exist only on cloud GPUs: <a href=\"references/gpu-cloud.md\">GPU cloud</a>,\nthen the relevant provider skill for provisioning.</li>\n<li>macOS, Apple Silicon, arm64, and cold-build evidence: <a href=\"PLATFORM-NOTES.md\">platform notes</a>.</li>\n<li>Use the bundled examples only as starting shapes; verify all tags and install\nsteps against current upstream documentation.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Cross into <code>integration</code> when multiple modules, containers, or transports must\nbe wired together.
