 ## Run it
 
-### Option A — one-line install (no Node.js needed)
+### macOS / Linux — one line, no Node.js needed
 
-**macOS / Linux:**
 ```bash
 curl -fsSL https://dl.chatpanel.net/bridge/install.sh | bash
 ```
 
-**Windows (PowerShell):**
+Downloads the standalone binary, installs it, and sets it to start at login
+(installing via curl avoids the macOS "damaged" prompt). Re-running is a clean
+in-place upgrade.
+
+### Windows — via Node (recommended)
+
+Windows SmartScreen flags unsigned downloads, so on Windows run the bridge through
+Node — you already have it if you use Claude Code / Codex / Gemini (all npm CLIs),
+and there's no security prompt:
+
 ```powershell
-irm https://dl.chatpanel.net/bridge/install.ps1 | iex
+npm i -g @chatpanel/bridge
+chatpanel-bridge --install      # starts hidden at login
 ```
 
-This downloads the standalone binary for your OS, installs it, and sets it to
-start at login. **Recommended** — installing this way avoids the macOS "damaged"
-and Windows SmartScreen prompts that browser downloads trigger. Re-running it is a
-clean in-place upgrade (no duplicate installs). Then open the ChatPanel side panel
-and your agents appear.
+Just trying it? `npx @chatpanel/bridge` runs it once in the foreground.
 
-Manage it: `chatpanel-bridge --status` · `--uninstall` · run with no flags to start
-once in the foreground.
+Manage it anywhere: `chatpanel-bridge --status` · `--uninstall`.

-- **Claude Code**: be signed in (`claude`) or set `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`.

 The extension polls `/health` and shows each agent as available/unavailable.
