 ### Install
 Builds the coordinator binary from the horus workspace. This will:
-1. Install Rust if not present
+1. Check if Rust is installed (installs if not present)
 2. Clone the horus repository from git.ourworld.tf
 3. Build the coordinator binary with `cargo build -p hero-coordinator --release`
 
+**Note**: The installer skips the build if the binary already exists at the configured path.

 ```bash
 hero coordinator.install

+```v

 ## Notes
 
 - The installer builds from source rather than downloading pre-built binaries
-- Mycelium is expected to be already installed and running in the environment
-- Redis must be running and accessible at the configured address
+- **Redis must be pre-installed and running** - the installer does not install Redis
+- The installer checks if the binary already exists and skips rebuild unless `reset: true` is used
+- Rust is automatically installed if not present (checks for `rustc` command)
 - The binary is built with `RUSTFLAGS="-A warnings"` to suppress warnings
 - Service management uses zinit by default
