Local friendly identities

Open Settings → Project & fleet from the shared top bar in either mode. Browse folders on the local server machine, or paste an absolute path. Select the RS-SDK root containing sdk/ and bots/, preview accounts, then connect.

Only valid BOT_USERNAME values from bots/*/bot.env become friendly identities. Directory names, passwords, tokens and arbitrary environment values are never projected. Files are parsed as text, never executed. Symbolic link bot folders/files and oversized files are skipped and unsupported entries are reported. No credentials are uploaded to the browser.

The chosen path is stored locally in ignored data/project-settings.json; explicit saved settings override RS_SDK_ROOT, including a saved disconnect. Discovery refreshes every 60 seconds on use. Refresh accounts rescans immediately. A missing or unreadable project is reported; it does not turn an incomplete roster into reliable enemy classifications.

Friendly membership is not ownership, live presence or gameplay permission. Set manual relationship choices in Players & fleet when needed. Gameplay needs its separate grants and explicit mission approval. Switching/disconnecting removes project-derived identities; saved watches, manual relationships and existing runtime pairings remain independent.

Bank holdings still use partial public observations. Folder connection does not import private inventories or connect game sessions.
