Operation: startup and execution

D4_Main creates the application, initializes the database connection and global data, loads states and stocks, and then enters the main menu. The main controller exposes customer, order, stock, and reporting modules. The exact customer implementation remains a missing dependency rather than evidence of global absence. E0011 E0012

The documented Unix launcher runs Java with a classpath containing demo/bin and the named library JARs, while the Windows launcher uses a semicolon-separated classpath and invokes the same main class. The repository setup script downloads and installs Informix using wget, tar, and the IBM installer. Failure of those tools or of the download is an inferred operational dependency, not a demonstrated application error path. E0014
