This VM's name is the output of `hostname`: use it wherever the recipe writes my-muse-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- Muse Code installed with Meta's official installer, answering a test prompt with no account\n- A project folder at `~/project` on persistent disk\n- A `muse` tmux session that survives disconnects, ready for you to sign in to Meta\n\nRun only the VM-side commands in \"Install Muse Code\" (skip VM creation\nand SSH). If ~/project already exists, use it as it is. Create tmux\ndetached (`tmux new -d -s muse -c ~/project`) rather than attaching,\nand reuse the session if it exists. Do not start interactive `muse`,\nrun `muse login`, or ask for a Meta API key: signing in is the owner's\nstep. Don't change an existing ~/.config/muse.\nVerify `~/.local/bin/muse --version` prints a version and, from\n~/project, `~/.local/bin/muse exec --provider echo --trust-workspace\n'ready'` prints `echo: ready` (no account needed). Check\n`tmux has-session -t muse`. Skip the later optional sections and FAQ.\nFinish with the SSH command from \"Leave it running\", using this VM's\nname, and tell the owner to run `muse` inside it and sign in.\n\nFinish with the URLs I should open.\n",
