Checkout, payments and search are piloting. We are measuring one thing:
time from git clone to a running service with test data.

Detail
What this is
A container definition checked into each repository that pins the language runtime, tooling and local dependencies, and works the same on macOS and Linux.
Who this affects
Nobody yet — this is in development. When it reaches rollout, adoption will be opt-in per repository, and the golden path templates will include it by default.
