This VM's name is the output of `hostname`: use it wherever the recipe writes my-claude-code. 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- Claude Code connected to a model, with no API key to paste\n- A project folder at `~/project` on persistent disk\n- A `claude` tmux session that survives disconnects\n\nUse the preinstalled Claude Code. Run the VM-side setup in \"Start coding\",\nusing `exeuntu claude configure` on older images. Create tmux detached\n(`tmux new -d -s claude -c ~/project`) rather than attaching. Reuse the\nsession if it already exists. Do not launch interactive Claude; leave its\nfirst-run prompts to the owner. Do not overwrite existing Claude settings\nor switch an existing login; ask the owner if these prevent setup.\nVerify from ~/project with `claude -p --model haiku \"Reply with exactly: OK\"`\nand check `tmux has-session -t claude`. Skip the later optional instructions\nand FAQ. Finish with the SSH command from \"Take a break\", using this VM's\nname, and tell the owner to run `claude` inside it.\n\nFinish with the URLs I should open.\n",
