NOTE: Running package initialization and installation during the early-init phase is **NOT RECOMMENDED** because this stage occurs before the GUI system, windowing, and comprehensive error-handling buffers are fully initialized. When package-install or `package-refresh-contents` triggers a failure—such as a TLS handshake error or a lost network connection—Emacs cannot yet render a graphical window to display the backtrace or warning. This results in a "silent" hang or a crash that provides no visual feedback to the user, forcing a pivot to a terminal to inspect standard output.
