+# Memory Update — onboarding-audit-agent — 2026-02-26
+
+## Key findings
+- Onboarding steps (python, requirements.lock, pytest, black) appear valid in current environment.
+- `flake8` is missing in the environment but listed as optional in README.
+
+## Patterns / reusable knowledge
+- Validation in restricted environments requires simulating installation by checking tool existence.
+- `pip install` cannot be used to verify dependencies in this environment.
+
+## Warnings / gotchas
+- `flake8` not found; potential gap in style enforcement locally if relied upon.

+# Decisions
+
+## Decision: Skip `pip install`
+
+### Rationale
+Environment restricts internet access, preventing `pip install` from PyPI.
+
+## Decision: Validate tool existence
+
+### Rationale
+To ensure tooling is present even if installation is simulated. Verified `python`, `black`, `pytest`.
