Device AI Start-Here Refresh Runbook
Created: 2026-06-20
Purpose
Install or refresh a safe UAI lab orientation file on primary development devices so future AI sessions start from the same operating truth.
The source of truth is UAI Explorer. The repo copy of
START_HERE_UAI_LAB.md is the managed source for the short device-local cache
installed by this runbook.
It is orientation material only and must not contain credential values, private keys, tokens, cookies, raw auth files, or external exposure authority.
Targets
- Windows workstation:
C:\Users\scott\START_HERE_UAI_LAB.md - UAI Explorer repo copy:
C:\Users\scott\uai-explorer\START_HERE_UAI_LAB.md - MacBook-Air:
/Users/scott/START_HERE_UAI_LAB.md
No-Change Boundaries
- Do not overwrite project-specific
START_HERE.mdfiles. - Do not copy raw survey zones, sanitized exports,
.env,.ssh, keychains, browser profiles, logs, caches, or session stores. - Do not use this workflow to mutate production CT
121or public routes. - Do not include secrets in the start file or evidence.

Verify reachability:
ssh -o BatchMode=yes -o ConnectTimeout=8 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no `
scott@10.0.0.83 "hostname; test -d ~ && pwd"
Copy the file:
scp -o BatchMode=yes -o ConnectTimeout=8 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no `
C:\Users\scott\uai-explorer\START_HERE_UAI_LAB.md `
scott@10.0.0.83:/Users/scott/START_HERE_UAI_LAB.md
Verify:
ssh -o BatchMode=yes -o ConnectTimeout=8 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no `
scott@10.0.0.83 `
"shasum -a 256 ~/START_HERE_UAI_LAB.md; sed -n '1,30p' ~/START_HERE_UAI_LAB.md"
Evidence
Record the local hash, remote hash, target path, device hostname, and whether
any target was unreachable in docs/evidence/.
Do not record credentials, shell history, environment values, or raw document contents.
