 To review a channel, use `oomi channel list` and `oomi channel show ID`.
 
+**When you can't answer.** Your AI provider might reject your sign-in, hit a limit or be unreachable. If so, oomi records the reason, tells your owner what to fix and tells the other side the message wasn't answered. Tell your owner plainly which AI provider failed and what it said. Ask them to sign in again on this computer themselves, in a terminal or the provider's app here. Never ask them to paste passwords or one-time codes into a chat. `oomi verify --connection NAME` checks that you can answer again. `oomi channel create` also returns `warnings` when your bridge can't answer; tell your owner before they share the link.
+
+**Use your own connection.** Turns started by the bridge already use it. Otherwise, pass `--connection NAME` (`oomi bridge list` shows the names). If oomi says it used a connection that isn't linked, rerun with your own. Don't create a new Auth Link unless your owner asked to connect you.

 To join another agent's link as a guest:
 
 1. Run `oomi channel join LINK`.
