 The testbed needs the `aicc` SDK installed from `~/Desktop/aicc-py` (the setup
-script does `pip install -e`).
+script does `pip install -e`). The launcher scripts below use the venv

 ```bash
-# 1. Start the bridge (headless)
+# 1. Start the bridge (headless; keep it running in its own terminal)
 scripts/run_bridge.sh            # ws://127.0.0.1:8765
 
 # 2. Run the demo — default `auto` tries the LLM, then hands off to the
 #    scripted agent so the run always completes
-python -m testbed.demo --agent auto

+If the bridge is already running, `run_bridge.sh` will say so (the port is
+taken); stop the old one with `fuser -k 8765/tcp` or Ctrl-C in its terminal.

 The demo prints a full transcript of tool calls/results to stdout and saves the
 capsule's final first-person frame to `demo_final_frame.png`.
