Fixes 3.0 install not actually installing anything

[gulliverhan]

Summary

without this you get this issue where nothing actually happens on install
~/Repos/site$ ~/agent-os/scripts/project-install.sh

=== Agent OS Project Installation ===

The issue was a bash quirk:
((chain_depth++)) - post-increment returns the OLD value (0), which bash treats as "false" → exit code 1
((++chain_depth)) - pre-increment returns the NEW value (1), which bash treats as "true" → exit code 0
With set -e enabled, the script was dying on that line.

Configuration:

I haven't been able to replicate this issue. I'll monitor for other reports of similar issues.

Same issue, haven't tried suggested fix yet though seems straightforward. Tested around an hour before this comment on a fresh, minimal, up to date ubuntu server LTS (Nobel) image.

Also had to apply this fix on Windows 11

Having the same issue, I applied this fix locally and now I can install the profiles without problems.

I had the same issue with WSL2 terminal in Ubuntu 24....

The fix worked for me, but commands were still failing... The fix was changing all increments to be from ((++)) -> ((++))
