Research direction
Start in bootstrap.sh and inspect how ~/.extra is created or managed. Determine how $EXTRAHOSTS should represent the target hosts and how rsync would be invoked for them. Done means the script can sync ~/.extra to each configured host without affecting setups where the variable is absent.
