CAS Agent Setup

Purpose: Ensure the agent has the files and directories CAS needs: STATE.json, append-only telemetry, raw output store, optional archive layout, and a test harness. How to run the 8-phase loop (predict → act → observe → learn → commit) is defined only in cas-operational-loop — load that skill when executing CAS, not this one.

When to use: First-time CAS layout on an agent, or aligning an existing agent with the CAS file contract.
