Provide two lists for clean system recovery:
- frt-core-packages.txt: 90 packages required to build, verify, and run
the Research Stack (VITAL + NEEDED tiers). Install first on fresh system.
- personal-packages.txt: ~200 packages that are NOT required for FRT work.
These are quality-of-life, niche domain, or redundant tools. Safe to remove
for a clean research environment; reinstall on demand.
Total potential savings: ~3-5GB by removing personal tier.
Also includes the full 391-package master inventory with per-package
justifications in software_inventory_2026-05-13.md.
