Set up Slingshot as a remote tool

Validation status (2026-08-16): R 4.4.3/Slingshot 2.14.0, loopback discovery, and a deterministic call passed with two lineages and bounded aligned pseudotime for 240 cells. Public publication, cross-user isolation, representative biology, broad concurrency, and recovery remain incomplete. Authenticated private Platform import and owner testing passed on 2026-08-16; public publication and independent-caller authorization/isolation remain untested.

Prerequisites

• Run from the ToolUniverse repository root on Linux with Python 3.12.3.
• CPU only; size RAM for embeddings/R objects.
• Keep provider data, weights, caches, and credentials outside Git.
• Bind to loopback. A non-loopback bind requires TOOLUNIVERSE_API_TOKEN; never put it in arguments or results.
