-## Quick Start
+### Ports & the browser brain, in plain words
 
-```bash
-npx @deepseek-insight/dsi@latest dsh --sync --zai
-# Open http://localhost:5174
-```
+One "floor" is a pair: **DSH** (the harness host) and **DSI** (the page you watch). Each sits on its own port, and each port can be moved — handy when you want a second floor beside one that is already running.
 
-- **`npx @deepseek-insight/dsi@latest`** — get latest DSI.
-- `dsh` — starts **DSH** (`dsh web`) and **DSI** together, as one pair and runs it.
-- `--sync` — copies DSH token to DSI config — **one window, one Ctrl-C stops both**.
-- `--zai` — **optional.** It bootstraps the GLM (Z.AI) provider into the harness settings (`~/.dsh/settings.yaml`). **If you do not have a GLM account, simply leave it off** — DSI will use whatever provider your harness is already configured with.
+| What | Default | How to move it | Plain meaning |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| DSH host | `3080` | `--port <n>` | the harness brain of the floor |
+| DSI page | `5174` | `PORT=<n>` env var | the page you open in the browser |
+| Browser brain | `9515` | `DSI_MCP_PORT=<n>` env var | the MCP endpoint agents use to drive the glass browser |
 
+**The browser brain.** By default the glass browser's assistant (the MCP brain that lets an agent click and type in the browser) runs as its **own separate helper process** — if it fails, you lose only the glass panel. Adding `--playwright-mcp` moves that brain **inside the DSI page server**: one less background process and a faster start, but a brain failure can now touch the page server itself. DSI prints a banner saying so whenever you use the flag — drop the flag to go back to the helper process.
 
+**Example — a second, self-contained floor beside a live one** (nothing on the running floor is touched):
 
+```bash
+PORT=5176 DSI_MCP_PORT=19515 npx @deepseek-insight/dsi@latest dsh --sync --playwright-mcp --port 3081
+# Page: http://localhost:5176 · host: 3081 · brain: http://127.0.0.1:19515/sse
+```
 
-When it is up, your browser opens the page by itself (default `http://127.0.0.1:5174`).
+**Second floors are fully drivable.** At boot, a floor stamps its own addresses (`DSI_UI`, `DSI_MCP_URL`) into everything it starts — so agents in *that* floor's conversations drive *that* floor's glass automatically, and the preset brain entry follows the stamped port. Nothing on the primary floor changes: without a stamp (a bare `dsh web` boot), the brain falls back to `9515` and the drivers probe `5175` → `5174` exactly as before. One conversation = one glass owner; the driver refuses to touch another conversation's glass, and a session busy in the live floor shows `writer-held` if you try to prompt it from the second window (watch it there, prompt it on its own floor).
