agent/tools/fetch_nvidia_docs.sh

#!/bin/bash
# Fetch NVIDIA's official CUDA/PTX documentation into a local directory, for offline use.
#
#   ./fetch_nvidia_docs.sh [dest] [cuda-version]   # default: ./nvidia-docs, version auto-detected
#
# Emits <name>.html and <name>.txt per document. The .txt is the one that matters: it is greppable,
# which is the only way a ~700-page reference is usable offline. PDFs are deliberately NOT fetched --
# they cannot be grepped, are read in 20-page slices, and cost ~30 MB for no added capability.
#
# WHY A FETCHER AND NOT BUNDLED FILES
# NVIDIA's documentation is copyrighted and NOT redistributable. The CUDA EULA distributes only the
# files listed in its Attachment A -- runtime libraries such as libcudart.so -- and documentation is not
# among them. So this repo cannot ship the guides; you download your own copy, direct from NVIDIA, under
# their terms. Linking and citing is fine; copying is not.
#
# OFFLINE USE: task containers have network at IMAGE BUILD time and none at run time. Run this in a
# Dockerfile RUN step and the agent has the official docs available offline while it works:
#
#     RUN bash fetch_nvidia_docs.sh /opt/nvidia-docs 12.8.0
#
# (c) NVIDIA Corporation. Terms: https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/eula/

# NOTE: the CUDA Runtime API reference is deliberately absent. Its index page is only a table of
