Good to know

The Gemfile only holds test and lint tools (minitest, rubocop, rubocop-minitest, rubocop-performance): Ruby is needed just to run those.
Dockerfile available (base image: rubylang/ruby:3.4.1-noble).
Tool versions pinned in .tool-versions — mise install (or asdf install) installs them all.
Makefile has a make install target — it may automate most of these steps.
