Sails Dev Env

Goal

Get the machine to a verified baseline for standard Sails Rust work: rustup, Rust toolchains, Wasm targets, cargo-sails, and the latest official gear binary.

Sequence

  1. Detect whether the builder is on macOS, Linux, or Windows.
  2. If rustup is missing, install it with the official bootstrap for that platform.
  3. Install or update the stable and nightly toolchains, then add wasm32-unknown-unknown and wasm32v1-none.
  4. Install the Sails Rust CLI with cargo install sails-cli --locked, which provides cargo-sails and the standard greenfield bootstrap command cargo sails new <project-name>.
  5. Install the latest official gear release binary from https://get.gear.rs/ (see Commands below for platform-specific download).
  6. Verify the toolchain with rustup show, cargo sails --version, and gear --version.
  7. Route back into ../sails-new-app/SKILL.md, ../ship-sails-app/SKILL.md, ../sails-gtest/SKILL.md, or ../sails-local-smoke/SKILL.md depending on the builder's next task.
