Research direction
Start by locating the current Homebrew-based dependency bootstrap logic and determine which dependency tools it installs. Review whether pipx, mise, mint, or another approach can provide pinned versions; done means bootstrap no longer installs latest-only tool versions and the chosen version behavior is documented or tested.
