3. Run the tour

Most systems introduce themselves with a screenshot. InferNode introduces itself by having the agent drive the machine while you watch.

The tour is not a recording and not a script running in a sandbox. Veltro reads a plain-text outline and carries it out with the same tools it would use for any other task — launching real applications, drawing real fractals, and writing real documents into the presentation zone.

Veltro

Veltro is InferNode’s agent runtime. It reads its available tools out of the filesystem at /tool, and everything it can reach is determined by what was mounted into its namespace before it started. Step 6 is about that boundary.

Start it

In Lucia, type this into the conversation zone:

run the tour

Headless or in a terminal, from the Inferno prompt:

; veltro 'run the tour'

Or start the REPL first and ask from there:

; repl
> run the tour

What happens

Veltro works through twelve sections, pausing between each to ask whether you want to continue, repeat, or skip ahead. It is a conversation, not a slideshow — you can interrupt it and ask about anything it just did.

Along the way it covers:

• The three zones — conversation, presentation, and context
• What 9P is, and why files — the idea underneath everything else
• Launching apps — the Mandelbrot and Julia fractal viewer, driven live
• The text editor — collaborative editing in the presentation zone
• Your namespace — what the agent can see, and how you control it
• Finding and reading files — find, read, search, and grep
• Persistence — what it remembers between sessions
• Voice — text-to-speech and speech-to-text
• The host OS bridge — reaching the system underneath
• More capabilities — planning, subagents, web fetch and search, git, and a dozen others

The outline it is following is a text file at /lib/veltro/demos/tour.txt. You can read it, edit it, and write your own.

Verify

You have done this step when the agent has put something on screen that you did not ask for specifically — a document, a running clock, a fractal — and you can still talk to it about what it just did.

Try interrupting it mid-tour and asking:

what did you just run?

It will tell you, because the tools it used are files and it can read its own trail through them.

If the tour does not start

Nothing happens in Lucia — check that the conversation zone has focus. The welcome document in the presentation zone is not an input field.

veltro: command not found in a terminal — you are outside the Inferno namespace. Make sure you are at the ; prompt inside InferNode, not at your host shell.

Veltro does not respond at all — no model is connected, or you configured one and did not relaunch. Go back to Connect a model.

Skip ahead freely

The tour is long by design. You do not have to finish it — say skip or just close it and move to step 4. You can always come back with run the tour.
