Set up A0
Create the owner account. This works only once.
Provider keys
Keys are stored server-side in OpenBao and never returned. DeepSeek starts selected. "Test request" sends one minimal real request and reports the provider's actual response.
Participants
A participant is a provider + model combination. Several can join one comparison.
Forge agents
Create independently addressable agents from the exact eight-template Forge catalogue. Each agent gets a durable conversation, participant, retained PTCNA numerical state and a temporary stats/chat module. Jury, Bandit, Meta-13 and ZFAE are not active.
MCP tools
Configure remote MCP servers. Private/loopback endpoints are blocked unless explicitly allowed. Local shell execution is not exposed.
Projects
Select a project in the sidebar to scope the next new conversation. Project instructions are shown to models verbatim with an inspectable marker; use the chat header selector to move a conversation between projects.
