cd "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts" && [ -d node_modules ] || npm install

Then convert the JWK to PEM format using an online tool or `jose` CLI.

**Passing to deploy script:**
```bash

**Manual configuration on server:**
```bash
ssh myapp.exe.dev
sudo nano /etc/registry.env

ssh myapp.exe.dev -t "cd /var/www/html && claude"

ssh exe.dev share set-public myapp

// In your app:
const hostname = window.location.hostname;
const subdomain = hostname.split('.')[0];
const dbName = `myapp-${subdomain}`;

// Each subdomain gets its own Fireproof database
const { database } = useFireproof(dbName);

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/deploy-exe.js" --name myapp

ssh myapp.exe.dev

**Why server-side temp?**
- Direct SCP to `/var/www/html/` fails (permission denied - owned by www-data)
- Server `/tmp/` is world-writable, so SCP succeeds
- `sudo cp` moves file with correct ownership

**Common mistakes:**
| Mistake | Error | Fix |
|---------|-------|-----|
| `ssh exe.dev cat /var/www/...` | "No VMs found" | Use `ssh <app>.exe.xyz` |
| `scp file vm:/var/www/html/` | Permission denied | Use temp + sudo pattern |
| Forgetting sudo for /var/www | Permission denied | Always `sudo cp` for www-data dirs |

**Quick reference commands:**
```bash

Question: "Your app is live at https://${name}.exe.xyz! What's next?"
Header: "Next"
Options:
- Label: "Share my URL"
  Description: "Get the shareable link for your app. I'll confirm the public URL and you can send it to anyone - they'll see your app immediately with full functionality."

- Label: "Make changes and redeploy"
  Description: "Continue iterating locally. Edit your files here, then run deploy again to push updates. The VM keeps running so there's zero downtime during updates."

- Label: "Continue development on VM"
  Description: "Work directly on the server. SSH in and use the pre-installed Claude to make changes live. Great for server-specific debugging or when you want changes to persist immediately."

- Label: "I'm done for now"
  Description: "Wrap up this session. Your app stays live at the URL - it runs 24/7 on exe.dev's persistent VMs. Come back anytime to make updates."
