Setup Local Coding Agent

Use this when a customer asks an AI agent to clone, install, configure, and start Local Coding Agent.

Rules

• Do not install system dependencies without asking first.
• Do not download or commit tunnel-client; the customer must provide it.
• Do not print, commit, or upload API keys, tunnel IDs, auth tokens, or local config.
• Default to mode=safe and policy=balanced.
• Prefer the universal CLI over the Windows tray app unless the customer asks for GUI.
