Request a few changes pertaining to removal of some cli flags etc. Those would need changes on code itself.

@redpanda-f : I can look at this tomorrow, but if there are just a couple of lines to remove, then do you want to take care of them? We also need a note about arm support (which we support now right?) |
- Change from 'x86 Architecture' requirement to 'Architecture' supporting both x86 and ARM64 - Update text to reflect that system automatically selects appropriate binaries - Reflects changes from PR #32 which added ARM64/Apple Silicon support
- Rename 'Repository Management' to 'Dependency Repository Management' - Rename 'Required Repositories' to 'Required Dependent Repositories' - Rename 'Version Strategy' to 'Dependent Version Strategy' - Simplify version strategy explanation - Rename 'Using Local Repositories' to 'Using Local Dependency Repositories' - Add note about using same foc-devnet commit when sharing config - Clarify reproducible builds use 'tags or commits' not just 'commits'
Remove --output-dir, --volumes-dir, and --run-dir flags as they are either unused or should not be user-configurable. The system now always uses fixed default paths: - ~/.foc-devnet/bin/ for build outputs - ~/.foc-devnet/docker-volumes/<run-id>/ for Docker volumes - ~/.foc-devnet/run/<run-id>/ for run-specific data This simplifies the CLI interface and ensures consistent behavior.
