+## Engines
+
+An agent runs on an **engine** — the CLI that actually holds the session. The daemon spawns the
+engine's binary per job, and `doctor` checks that every engine a Ship's agents use is installed.

+| Engine | Binary | Credential |
+|---|---|---|
+| Claude Code | `claude` ([install](https://claude.com/claude-code)) | a `claude setup-token`, pasted once per Ship in the Crew app |
+| Codex CLI | `codex` ([install](https://developers.openai.com/codex)) | a **machine sign-in**: a captain picks this machine in the Crew app, the daemon runs `codex login --device-auth`, and the captain approves the code on a phone. The login stays on this machine — see [Credentials](#credentials). |

+how the test suites substitute a deterministic fake.
