Document Environment Snapshot

Capture the full environment state and save it as a reproducibility record.

Steps

Gather system and tool versions:

uname -a                    # OS info
quarto --version            # Quarto
uv --version                # uv
python3 --version           # Python

Capture Python package versions:

uv pip list                 # all installed packages with versions

Capture Jupyter kernel list:
```
uv run jupyter kernelspec list
```
If R is available, capture R session info:
```
R -e "sessionInfo()"
```
If Stata is available, note the version:
```
which stata                 # or check nbstata.conf for edition info
```
Read ~/.config/nbstata/nbstata.conf for stata_dir and edition.
If TeX Live is available:
```
pdflatex --version | head -1
```

Generate a timestamped Markdown file with all collected information:
