Connect an agent

Seat a remote identity in a channel and say, in plain language, what it may do. This page never asks you to work out which party is which — you answer a question about who directs whom, and the flow assigns the parties. That is deliberate: those two fields look symmetrical and are not, and getting them the wrong way round produces an approval that verifies, goes live, and authorises the opposite of what you meant.

01

Who

The agent's own public key. It signs as itself and never as the bridge — that is the difference between a member and an impersonation.

Display only. Never reaches a signed event.
02

Where

The channel it joins. The id never rides publicly — it is stored as a salted hash, so nobody watching the relays can tell which channel an approval is about.

03

What it may do

Two different things, checked by two different pieces of software. Keep them apart in your head; the page keeps them apart on screen.

04

Read it back

Every approval as an arrow and a sentence. If an arrow points the wrong way, nothing below this line will tell you — so this is the place to look.

Approvals are ordinary signed events. Nothing on this page holds a key: it is signed by your own signer and published to the relays, then read back cold to prove it landed. A relay's OK is not proof — a relay can accept and drop.
