Session: 1

Documents installCheck in the technical.agent Gotchas tab, matching the scripts merged to hiveops-agent develop (#97 curl-based .cmd + #98 PowerShell .ps1 fallback).

New section: a fresh install can run fine yet never appear in the fleet when (1) egress HTTPS is blocked (SSL-inspection firewall resetting TLS to api.bcos.cloud - the La Capitol 2026-07-22 case) or (2) hiveops.properties credentials are wrong. installCheck catches both at install time and is re-runnable; install.cmd auto-selects .cmd (curl) vs .ps1 (curl-less ATMs). Records what it probes and the ps1 real-hardware gotchas (pure ASCII, explicit TLS 1.2, HttpWebRequest not raw sockets, CRLF).

Docs-only, single tab edited (no new module - coverage unaffected).

New gotcha section: a fresh agent install can run fine yet never appear in the
fleet when outbound HTTPS is blocked (SSL-inspection firewall resetting TLS to
api.bcos.cloud) or credentials in hiveops.properties are wrong. installCheck
(installCheck.cmd curl-based + installCheck.ps1 for curl-less ATMs, auto-selected
by install.cmd) catches both at install time and can be re-run. Records the La
Capitol 2026-07-22 case and the ps1 real-hardware gotchas (pure ASCII, explicit
TLS 1.2, HttpWebRequest not raw sockets, CRLF).
