The iex (irm ...) one-liner could never work against a private repo: raw.githubusercontent.com returns 404 without a token, and a git operation's Credential Manager auth does not apply to a plain irm. The prior token-passing workaround (get.ps1, 717387f) asked pilots to paste a PAT, which they will not do and may not have.
Start-ShopDBDev.ps1 is a downloaded FILE, not a web pipe, so only its git clone/fetch need auth - and those go through Git Credential Manager using the login pilots already have from cloning this repo or signing in via Visual Studio / VS Code. No token, no paste. It takes -Channel stable|edge and hands off to dev-bootstrap.ps1. DEV-BUILD-TEST.md is rewritten for the save-and-run flow with a GCM-seeding fallback.
Follows the config-driven-badge decision through to packaging: a single channel-parameterized builder emits two distinct installers (stable from main, edge from dev-be) rather than two drifting scripts. Each package ships the image bundle, the airgap+channel compose templates, a pre-filled .env, and a one-command site installer.
Secrets ship as CHANGE_ME_* sentinels and Install-ShopDB.ps1 refuses to start until every one is rotated, so a distributable can never come up on shipped credentials. docker-compose.airgap.yml now threads SHOPDB_ENV_LABEL through the shared app-env anchor, otherwise a distributed edge stack would run the badge-capable image but never light the badge.
get.ps1 is the web launcher that makes the iex one-liners work: dev-bootstrap.ps1 operates on a local clone, so get.ps1 clones/updates the channel branch and hands off. docs/DEV-BUILD-TEST.md is the short reviewer handout with the two one-liners for Cameron to try.
