LOCAL PREVIEW · SETUP GUIDE

Keep your work within reach.

This is an educational preview. Installation and setup happen in VS Code; viewing this page changes nothing on your computer.

Install the local VESSEL VSIX, then choose Set up VESSEL. The current preview supports Windows x64, Python 3.11–3.14, and the verified Cline 4.1.17 bundle.

1. 1

   Install VESSEL

   Install the local preview VSIX in VS Code. Installation alone does not configure your project.

2. 2

   Check requirements

   VESSEL checks Python 3.11 or newer and the exact supported Cline build before making changes.

3. 3

   Choose a project

   Choose one open folder. Review its mission and the private recovery storage outside your repository.

4. 4

   Connect Orbio

   Approve small verification requests and save your key in VS Code SecretStorage. Project content is not part of this check.

5. 5

   Choose two models

   Choose verified primary and fallback routes. Native Cline compatibility remains a separate check.

6. 6

   Configure locally

   Review hooks, MCP settings, local ports and any compatibility change before applying them.

7. 7

   Verify protection

   Check the companion and gateway, bind an observed Cline task, then verify real capture and a checkpoint. Pending checks stay pending.

8. 8

   Recover when needed

   Stop the source, review a handover for a fresh task, retrieve its context, and confirm observed continuation.
