Confirm the workspace URL and route (/dashboard, /workshop, Settings) | Users need a stable entry point before model setup |
| Configure only the provider keys required for the planned workflow | Limits accidental exposure and reduces provider confusion |
| Confirm whether the route is direct provider, relay, or custom relay | Visible models and payload shape differ by route |
| Test the describe/Agent runtime profile if the Agent will be used | Tool calling, structured output, system prompt, and vision support vary by model |
| Pair Local Core only when local media, MCP, automation, FFmpeg, plugin, or storage bridge features are required | Browser-only generation does not need a local engine |
| Verify provider terms for confidential media | Redbit coordinates requests; provider privacy and retention policies still apply |
| Decide how assets will be backed up or exported | Browser profile deletion, site-data clearing, or quota pressure can remove local data |
