Goal: make ACORN repeatable across repositories, services, and local inference tools.
ConfigureDownloadModelsSyncServe

- Aggregate versioned buckets with

- Route downloaded models to applications with
sync. - Use
servefor supported GitLab bot automation, distributeacorn skillfor compatible agents, and keepdoctornearby as the rescue guide. MCP paths are listed by the CLI but are not yet implemented.

Next stop: Define the workflow in ACORN configuration.
