Build execution

When started, Bolt first parses and validates the contents of the brocanfile. It this process succeeds, then Bolt continues with the actual build execution.

Basically, Bolt takes every step and every command and executes them sequentially. During the course of this process, Bolt logs (a lot) to the standard output and sends reports to an agent. The details of this reporting protocol is described in the documentation of the Bond build agent.
