\section{Getting Started: Orientation}

%% This source is a directory-index README. Its substantive content is the
%% Developer Guide (see DEVELOPER scrap) plus the quick-start experiment guides;
%% in the formal doc set it is superseded by those chapters. Retained here only
%% as a brief signpost.

The getting-started material orients new users and developers. The developer
setup and contribution workflow are covered in the Developer Environment
chapter. Three quick-start guides walk through running experiments:

\begin{itemize}
  \item Factorial Design of Experiments --- the $2^7$ factorial harness.
  \item Heartbeat logging experiments.
  \item Physics-optimization experiments.
\end{itemize}

From here, readers proceed to the experimental protocols to run their own
experiments, the architecture documentation to understand the system
internals, and the source-code reference for detailed technical material.

%% TODO(bob): this index README is redundant with DEVELOPER and the quick-start guides. Confirm it should be folded into ch-install rather than carried as its own section, and point the three quick-start bullets at their promoted formal locations.
