Expand description
The providers screen: the model services a person added, what each one offers, and the two context figures that are never the same number.
Three things make this screen what it is.
Nothing goes out unasked. Opening the page reads a file and touches no network. Every request leaves only because the person pressed the thing that sends it, and the address it will go to stands on the page above that button, before it goes.
The key file is named out loud. Not in a footnote: a line of its own says where the key is written and that a backup of the home folder carries it in plain text, so that nobody shares a backup and their key together without knowing.
Both windows are shown. What the model’s own record claims and what this server was measured giving, side by side, because they are often an order of magnitude apart and a coding agent whose instructions are silently thrown away looks stupid for no visible reason. When the measured window is small the page says so plainly and says what the person can do about it on their own machine — guidance QCode prints and never something QCode does to them.
