Description
When deploying a packrat project to a remote machine without a local installation of packrat, the bootstrap installation process does not initialize in a non-interactive context unless explicitly called via command args.
Is there a reason for this?
It would be nice if users could control this behavior when a packrat library was initialized.

Research direction
Start by tracing the bootstrap installation entry point and the packrat library initialization path, comparing non-interactive behavior with command-argument invocation. Determine how users could control initialization during deployment, then add or update coverage for a remote, non-interactive installation and confirm the selected behavior is respected.
