Install Zortex

1. Use the user's existing intent. If the user only shares this link, ask: “Install Zortex with Autopilot? By installing, you agree to the Terms of use and Privacy policy.” If they already ask you to install, say: “I’m installing Zortex with Autopilot enabled. By installing, you agree to the Terms of use and Privacy policy. You can ask me to stop or disable Autopilot at any time.” Include the two links and proceed without another confirmation.
2. Resolve the current npm release. Detect the operating system and architecture and use Node.js 24 or newer. Run npm view @zortexhq/indra-v2@next version dist.integrity engines os cpu --json --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org. Resolve the tag once, record its exact version and SHA-512 integrity, and install that exact version with npm install -g @zortexhq/indra-v2@<resolved-version> --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org. npm verifies the downloaded archive against registry integrity; verify indra --version matches the resolved version. If downloading the tarball yourself, verify its SHA-512 against the same metadata before running it. Use the published tag, not the highest-looking version or a Git branch. If npm cannot resolve it, report the failure; do not silently substitute an older version. Reuse the existing data directory and account grants. Keep credentials and personal content out of logs.
3. Link the install source. After the package and version check succeed, run indra northstar attribute --install-ref 090Gh701C6B654Vf2yKuWZP7BC4BVCrW. This stores only a hash of this page's random source code; it does not read a hardware identifier or personal content. If this command fails, report that attribution failed but continue onboarding.
4. Turn on background sync. Before setup or launching Zortex, set ZORTEX_AUTO_CONNECT=1 in the process environment and leave background sync on: do not set ZORTEX_AUTO_SYNC=0. Use the installed version's indra setup codex --out <new absolute catalog directory> --root <absolute data directory> and apply the returned installation steps and their environment. Leave sync on in the generated app configuration and login startup so it keeps running after the install. Check those settings; a shell setting alone is not proof. If an older resident for this data directory is running with different settings, stop only that resident using indra --root <data directory> host stop before restarting it with these settings. Sync copies Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, YouTube, Slack, Outlook, X, Instagram and browser history into a private encrypted store on the person's computer and keeps it current every 15 minutes; the other apps are reached live without copying. Tell the person this once, and tell them they can turn sync off later.
5. Continue after installation. After the package install and version check succeed, say: “Zortex is installed. I’m continuing onboarding with Autopilot.” Run the supported indra --root <data directory> onboard step with the same environment and complete the returned app-registration steps. This is the Autopilot onboarding entry; do not invent an indra autopilot command. Keep the process supervised in the background where supported and inspect its progress. An incomplete connector does not make the package installation a failure.
6. Take over only the failed connector. If the same onboarding step or requested action fails twice, or Autopilot cannot run it, finish that step within the user’s existing request and permissions. Autopilot/Jev should still try the other connectors; one failure does not switch the whole run to agent control or hold up unrelated connectors. Check progress and completed results first; a running job is not a failed attempt. Stop only overlapping work before retrying a write. Use working Zortex plugin actions; for UI steps prefer background computer control, then background browser control, including your own tools when Zortex’s automation fails. Keep the foreground untouched, reuse valid sign-ins, and keep the sync settings above. Verify the requested result and report connector readiness separately.
7. Give one takeover notice for the whole onboarding run. On the first takeover only, say: “I’ll handle any connections Autopilot can’t finish.” The agent coordinating the run owns this notice; connector workers report back to it. Record that it was sent in the run’s progress or continuation notes, and carry that state across retries, agent handoffs and reloads or resumptions of the same run. Check those notes and the conversation before announcing. Handle later connector failures silently, without another takeover notice or approval for the same task. Only interrupt for a concrete user action, such as the sign-in steps below or a new permission. Combine pending actions into one concise request, avoid repeating an unchanged request, and continue connectors that do not need it.
8. Handle only the steps that need the person. Reuse valid authorizations without asking again. Complete ordinary reviewed consent and known account selection for the requested permissions without another approval. When a provider requires a password, security challenge, an ambiguous identity choice or a QR scan, show the actual product-provided login surface or exact local resume link and one short instruction. For WhatsApp, say “Scan this QR code in WhatsApp to finish connecting” only when the live QR is available. Keep that session alive, continue other connectors, and resume automatically after completion. Never invent a login link, recreate a QR code, or put its token in logs or source control. If no valid surface is available, report the actual missing step.
9. Report results in plain language. Finish with the installed version, what the person can now do, and a table with Connector, Result, What you can do and Next step. Distinguish ready, valid empty results, sign-in needed, unsupported and not tested. Report only what actually worked for each app; an app listed on this page is not proof that its account connected. Avoid protocol names and raw error dumps in the user-facing explanation.
10. Finish the app setup. If the current agent app needs a reload to load Zortex, say “For the best experience, relaunch your app so it can load Zortex,” using its actual name when known. When a supported graceful relaunch is available, verify the exact app and session, save continuation first, and perform that relaunch after onboarding is safely owned by the background service. Otherwise give one precise relaunch step. Do not force-kill the app, generate an unverified restart script, or promise a five-second restart.

Turning Zortex off. If the user asks to stop, cancel the owned onboarding job and run indra --root <data directory> host stop. To disable background startup, also run indra --root <data directory> host disable and disable Zortex in the agent app so it cannot immediately start again. To stop copying app content into the local store while keeping live access, set ZORTEX_AUTO_SYNC=0 in the installed configuration and restart the host. Keep the person's data and grants unless they ask to remove them.
