CORTEX Desktop — lab install (v0.1.0)
==========================================
1. Install the app:
     macOS:    open CORTEX-0.1.0-arm64.dmg  → drag to Applications (right-click → Open first launch)
     Windows:  run  CORTEX-Setup-0.1.0.exe
2. Install the local engine (one time, embeds your files on-device):
     macOS:    double-click  install-engine.command
     Windows:  right-click   install-engine.ps1  → Run with PowerShell
3. AWS access (your lab admin gives you keys):
     install AWS CLI + Session Manager plugin, then:  aws configure
4. Check readiness:   node doctor.mjs
5. Launch CORTEX.

Add knowledge from anywhere (both built into the app — Add to Guild):
  · Connected machines — pull result files from lab/instrument PCs. Run the agent in
    cortex-filebridge/ on those computers (see its README); they appear under "Machines".
  · Browser extension — add papers (incl. paywalled) as you read. Load cortex-extension/
    unpacked in Chrome (chrome://extensions → Developer mode → Load unpacked).

Full guide: README.md   ·   Data stays local; only embeddings + graph go to the cloud.
