Add GitHub Actions CI and a first-run install path.

  • Pull requests and pushes to main run gofmt, go vet, go build, and go test ./...
  • Live Docker helper tests stay skipped unless TX9_TEST_DOCKER_IMAGE is set
  • README covers prerequisites, the release installer, go install, make tx9, and tx9 create
  • CONTRIBUTING covers build, test, and the Makefile targets

Local checks before opening this PR:

  • gofmt -l . clean
  • go vet -buildvcs=false ./... passed
  • go build -buildvcs=false -o /tmp/tx9-ci-build . passed (tx9 version printed dev)
  • go test -buildvcs=false ./... passed
  • make check passed (syntax, ShellCheck 0.11.0, guest regressions, gofmt, vet, test)
  • TestEphemeralDockerIntegration and TestExecDockerIntegration skipped with TX9_TEST_DOCKER_IMAGE unset

No product bugs turned up while running those checks.

Important files:

.github/workflows/ci.yml

  • Adds the GitHub Actions workflow for pull requests and pushes to main.
  • Builds with -buildvcs=false and leaves TX9_TEST_DOCKER_IMAGE unset so the Docker helper tests skip.

README.md

  • Adds an Install section: Docker, the release installer, go install, make tx9, and a first tx9 create.
  • Documents the local command for the opt-in Docker helper tests and points at the new workflow.

CONTRIBUTING.md

  • Covers how to build, how to test, each Makefile target, and how to run the Docker helper tests locally.

Note

Add GitHub Actions CI for Go build, vet, and tests

Adds ci.yml. It runs gofmt validation, go vet, go build, and go test on pull requests and pushes to main on Ubuntu. The job uses a 15-minute timeout, grants read-only repository access, and disables VCS stamping and credential persistence in checkout. The optional Docker integration-test image variable is not set.

### Issue 1
README.md:50-52
If the user has no installed copy of `tx9` on `PATH`, these commands fail with “command not found,” even after the checkout build succeeds. The checkout instructions build `./bin/tx9`, but these examples switch to bare `tx9` without adding its directory to `PATH`. This is a non-blocking documentation issue: show `./bin/tx9` for checkout users, or explain how to add the checkout’s `bin` directory to `PATH`.

For each issue above, determine whether it is valid and should be fixed. If so, fix it directly.

📝 Walkthrough

Adds GitHub Actions checks for Go formatting, vetting, building, and testing. Adds installation instructions and documents contributor commands, CI checks, and Docker integration-test requirements.

Changes: Project setup and validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Automated Go checks
.github/workflows/ci.yml
Adds a workflow for pull requests and pushes to main. It selects Go from go.mod and runs gofmt, go vet, go build, and go test.
Installation and contributor guidance

Documents installation and build options, project commands, local and CI checks, and the conditions for running Docker integration tests.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2cfd6

The new source-build instructions can fail until the output directory is created, and some installer users cannot run the next command until they update PATH. These are bounded onboarding issues; the PR is mergeable with follow-up fixes.

Install the current release into `~/.local/bin` (`TX9_INSTALL_DIR` overrides
the directory). The installer prints a `PATH` line when that directory is
absent from `PATH`:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://tx9.col-agents.com/install | sh
tx9 version
```

Apply the installer’s PATH change before invoking tx9.

When the install directory is absent from PATH, scripts/install.sh only prints an export command. The documented sequence does not apply that change, so tx9 version can fail with command not found.

🐛 Suggested fix
 curl -fsSL https://tx9.col-agents.com/install | sh
+export PATH="${TX9_INSTALL_DIR:-$HOME/.local/bin}:$PATH"
 tx9 version

Create bin/ before the source build.

A fresh checkout has no bin/ directory. Both make tx9 and the documented manual build write to bin/tx9, so the build fails before producing the binary. Add mkdir -p bin to the Makefile target and before the manual command.

Suggested fix
 tx9:
+	mkdir -p bin
 	go build -buildvcs=false -ldflags "$(LDFLAGS)" -o bin/tx9 ./cmd/tx9
