Delegate setup. Paste this into Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or another coding agent attached to a terminal: 
Install Airglow on this machine.

Prerequisites — check first, walk me through installing if missing:
- Chrome 138+
- Node.js 20+
- pnpm (corepack enable, or the package manager that matches my OS)

Then:
1. Clone https://github.com/airglow-inc/airglow-sdk into ~/airglow-sdk.
2. Walk me through loading the unpacked extension at
   ~/airglow-sdk/extension in Chrome (chrome://extensions →
   turn on Developer mode → Load unpacked → select the folder).
3. Walk me through opening that extension's Details page and
   toggling on "Allow user scripts" (Chrome 138+ requires this
   before chrome.userScripts.register() works).
4. From ~/airglow-sdk run `pnpm install`, then `pnpm airglow dev`
   in a persistent terminal — keep it running.
5. Confirm http://localhost:3001/api/apps/manifests returns JSON.

If any step fails, surface the error and stop — don't retry blindly.

When Airglow is ready, offer me my first app. Airglow apps are small
on purpose: one page, one action, one visible result. Ask whether I want
to (a) build a brand-new tiny app — I'll name a page and an action — or
(b) fork one of the existing showcases (hn-summary, gmail-calendar,
github-qa, linkedin-researcher, google-ads) and retarget it to a page I
care about. Then build it under airglow-apps/<id>/ using only the
airglow.* SDK (no direct chrome.*; server functions for secrets).
The agent does the cloning, the prereq check, and the server start. You do the three Chrome-side clicks (turn on Developer mode, load unpacked, allow user scripts) — Chrome blocks programmatic extension changes. If you want the agent to do the Chrome clicks too — including the user-scripts toggle — use Claude Cowork instead.
The Airglow icon is in Chrome’s extension list, user scripts are allowed on it, and pnpm airglow dev is serving manifests on http://localhost:3001.
