Open the cockpit on your own computer — before you read a word
The cockpit (the book calls it the Atrium) is the screen an operator uses to run a governed AI. Before reading about it, you open it yourself: clone the repo, open atrium-standalone.html, and the full cockpit renders from a sample node — no install, no account, no internet.
If the cockpit didn't render cleanly, you'd know in seconds that the thing the book describes isn't real. It is: the control surface is public and runnable, and you confirm that before you read a single chapter.

You open the real cockpit yourself before you read about it — public, runnable, offline. What this means for you: everything the rest of the volume describes is something you can see and click on your own screen, not a marketing mockup you have to take on faith.
The preflight is one open — the cockpit renders cleanly from the sample node:

ⓘDeterministic demonstration. The conversation is a faithful dramatization of the exercise; the receipt is the artifact it produces — the same every time, because the system is receipted. (Representative of the demo's structure; the production page renders the captured run.) No output here is fabricated. A live "run it yourself" mode is coming.
