This VM's name is the output of `hostname`: use it wherever the recipe writes my-openrig. Skip the step that creates the VM; you are on it.\n\nYou are done when all of these are true. Check each one yourself:\n- OpenRig 0.7.6 with its daemon and kernel (operator, advisor and queue worker), started by systemd.\n- Claude Code and Codex connected to exe.dev's LLM integration, with no API key on the VM.\n- A two-agent team in `~/project`: a Claude Code builder and a Codex reviewer, each in its own tmux session.\n- Teams that were running come back after a reboot and resume their conversations.\n\nRead the whole recipe, including the closed details. For setup, follow\n\"Install by hand\" only, skipping VM creation; the walkthrough above it is\nfor the owner. Do not run the restore, update or Pi instructions.\nInstall exactly @openrig/cli@0.7.6. Never attach to a tmux session; read\nagents with `rig capture`. Do not send the team work, and do not run\n`rig down`. Keep the VM private: never run share set-public or bind the\ndaemon beyond 127.0.0.1. On an existing VM, ask before replacing\n~/.openrig, ~/rigs/pair or ~/project, or Claude Code or Codex settings\nthat aren't exe.dev's.\nVerify: `rig doctor` reports no failures; openrig.service is enabled\nand active; `rig status` says `Kernel: ready`; `rig ps --nodes --rig\npair` shows both seats `run`, each with a last observed model. Do not\nreboot.\nFinish with the two SSH commands from \"Meet your team\", using this VM's\nname, and suggest the owner give the builder a first task.\n\nFinish with the URLs I should open.\n",
