ArchĒ OS Runtime Bridge

Mount the existing ArchĒ OS and Cross-AI Bridge into the live Netlify runtime.

This page does not rebuild ArchĒ’s dispatch rules. It verifies the live website wires: server functions, protected provider credentials, research status, external-assistant readiness, and owner-review boundaries.

How to add keys

Netlify environment variable setup

  1. Open Netlify and select the project serving mtthorne.com.
