`git push origin --delete <TAB>` completes to `origin/foo`, but `origin/foo` is
a LOCAL remote-tracking name — the ref on the server is just `foo`. So the
command zsh completes for you is the one git rejects, and it rejects it with
"remote ref does not exist", which reads as "that branch is gone" rather than
"you named it wrong".
The second half is worse, because it makes the first half look intermittent:
without pruning, `git branch -r` and the completion keep offering branches that
were deleted on the server weeks ago. Then some completions fail because the
branch is genuinely gone and others fail because of the prefix, with identical
error text.
Two fixes, one per cause:
- `fetch.prune = true` globally, so stale remote-tracking refs are dropped on
every fetch/pull and dead branches stop being offered at all.
- `grmb`, which takes either form, prunes first, and reports per-branch rather
than aborting the batch. `grmb origin/foo` and `grmb foo` both work.
Named grmb rather than the more obvious gbd because oh-my-zsh's git plugin
already binds gbd to `git branch --delete`. Aliases resolve before functions,
so the collision would not have errored — it would have silently tried to
delete a LOCAL branch when the whole point is the remote one. Caught by
`type gbd` after installing; check any new g* helper the same way.
grmb deliberately does not wrap `git push` itself — intercepting a git
subcommand to rewrite its arguments is the kind of thing that works until it
silently does the wrong thing to a refspec someone meant literally.

~/.zshrc is managed and overwritten on every bootstrap, so there was
nowhere to put a machine-local key. The managed rc now sources
~/.zshrc.local last (so it can override anything) and bootstrap never
touches that file. zshrc.local.example documents the variables modules
look for: GITEA_KEY, LITELLM_KEY, OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN.
Secrets stay out of the repo — zsh/zshrc is shared config applied to
every box.

kind never worked reliably against rootless Docker on Kasm, even with the
cgroup delegation from docker-rootless-cgroup/. So install full Docker
where we can, and flip bin/'s kind gate from "rootless is available" to
"a rootful daemon answers" — kind is simply skipped on Kasm now.
docker/install.sh no-ops when a rootless daemon is already running so it
never fights Kasm's setup. It runs before bin/ in bootstrap so the kind
gate can see the daemon it just started. zsh/zshrc re-execs via newgrp
when the account gained the docker group but the live shell predates it.
docker-rootless-cgroup/ keeps its delegation (still useful for
per-container resource limits); only its kind-centric comments change.

New bin/install.sh downloads self-contained release binaries (ripgrep, fd,
bat, fzf, jq) into ~/.local/bin — no sudo, nothing outside $HOME, so they
persist across Kasm redeploys with no reinstall. Statically linked where
available, so they keep working even after the root fs is wiped. Idempotent:
pinned versions already present are skipped.
lib/fetch.sh adds arch detection + tarball/raw binary download helpers.
zsh/zshrc puts ~/.local/bin on PATH; bootstrap.sh runs the module.

Cross-distro (RHEL/Debian) VM setup: zsh + oh-my-zsh with a self-healing
bash fallback for environments that reset the root filesystem or hardcode
bash for new terminals (e.g. Kasm Workspaces), plus git identity and
HTTPS credential-store configuration.
