Summary

Small cleanup to the VM / Self-Hosted Backend setup guide based on real-world experience setting up a devbox.

Changes

  • Remove git from prerequisites — it comes pre-installed on all standard VM images (Ubuntu, Debian, etc.)
  • Add sudo to apt-get commands — users aren't root by default on most VMs
  • Link to Agent Canvas quickstart for prerequisite install options (Node.js, uv) instead of only describing them inline
