docs: fix drift in Guided Cloud Setup

[jack-arturo]

First review of cli/guided-cloud-setup — no prior review-state memory existed for this page. Automated docs-accuracy audit.

Claim	Current state	Fix	Evidence
"When CI, CODEX, CLAUDE_CODE, or GITHUB_ACTIONS is set, the installer assumes --yes"	Those three env vars appear in exactly one place — shouldUseInstallerAnimation(), which only suppresses the animated splash. GITHUB_ACTIONS is not read anywhere in src/. Nothing infers approval from the environment; the non-interactive path prints the plan and returns with "Re-run with --yes (or AUTOMEM_YES=1) to apply automatically"	Rewrote the note to say the installer never infers --yes, and that those vars only affect the splash	mcp-automem@2816beb:src/cli/install-ui.ts#L188-L190, src/cli/install.ts#L1364-L1374
"If your provider account already has AutoMem deployments, the installer lists them and lets you reuse an existing one… An empty account goes straight to a fresh deploy"	Railway is the only CloudProvider implementation and its listDeployments() returns [] unconditionally — the source comment says "v1: always treat as a fresh deploy… the selector is skipped, so the user just deploys fresh". InstaPods is a link-and-paste flow with no listing at all. The reuse selector is therefore unreachable today	Kept the description of the reuse path but added a note that it is not wired up for Railway, and pointed users at Other — I already have a URL + key	mcp-automem@2816beb:src/cli/cloud/railway.ts#L312-L317
Two troubleshooting rows resolve to "choose reuse an existing deployment" / "choose the existing deployment to reuse its credentials"	Same as above — that choice is never offered	Both rows now route to the Other provider option; the "charged twice" row states the real cause	mcp-automem@2816beb:src/cli/cloud/railway.ts#L315
"\"qdrant\": \"unavailable\" is expected if you haven't configured Qdrant"	/health emits "connected" if qdrant_available else "disconnected" — "unavailable" is not a value the field can take. Losing Qdrant also flips top-level status to "degraded"	Corrected to "disconnected" and noted the accompanying "status": "degraded"	automem@8ff266e:automem/api/health.py#L90, #L71-L76

Same "qdrant": "unavailable" fabrication class previously fixed on Quick Start (#276) and Memory Operations (#271).

Verified correct, no change needed: both interactive prompt blocks match install.ts verbatim; CLOUD_PROVIDERS is exactly instapods | railway | other; AGENT_CLIENTS is exactly codex, claude-code, cursor, openclaw, hermes; every flag/env pair in the table resolves (-y is a real alias for --yes); .env is written to environment.cwd; .bak backups and the pre-config /health verification are both real.

Questions

• InstaPods "Grow plan ($15/mo flat)" — the installer only opens app.instapods.com/dashboard/pods/create?app=automem; the plan name and price live on InstaPods' side and are not asserted anywhere in this repo. Left as written, but it is unverifiable from source and will silently rot if InstaPods renames the tier.
• "Any billable deploy is gated behind an explicit confirmation that names the plan" — orchestrate.ts does gate on confirmation, but since the only live provider path is a fresh Railway deploy, I could not confirm the confirmation text names a plan. Left alone.

Unverified

• The screenshot /img/docs/installer-cloud-provider.png renders the provider prompt; I checked the prompt strings in source but not the image contents.
• Railway's own per-service PORT assignment behavior (the PORT=8001 caution) is Railway platform behavior, not something these repos assert.

Follow-ups

• The flag table omits --client (singular, repeatable), which parseInstallArgs accepts alongside --clients. Completeness gap, not an error.
