The lab stocks the full catalogue, not the bootstrap three

Browse Source 
Phase two of the installer reads each module's manifest from --catalog, which is
documented as a checkout of the catalogue repository. Genesis stocked it with
only the three modules the pivot needs, so step 14 failed reading postgres's
manifest — a file nobody had put there.

The installer code is right: --catalog is meant to be a full checkout. The lab
was the shortcut. It now copies the whole modules tree once (tar, push, extract)
rather than three files, and still checks the bootstrap three are present so a
missing one fails at preparation rather than at step 8. Production's equivalent is
an operator with a full checkout, or the installer cloning the repo.
