Post-signup checklist

Companion to the /start “What’s next” stepper (CP-2.11) — complete these steps in your first session to reach first value.

Checklist

1. Save your API key

   Copy from signup success, /activate, or console Account. Store in your password manager — keys are shown once.

2. Create first watch

   Finish /start or use the watch wizard. Confirm first snapshot OK.

3. Connect MCP (optional)

   Cursor MCP setup — offline compare_json plus hosted list_watches.

4. Wire CI preview (optional)

   Add GitHub Actions drift-coverage-preview on your agent repo.

5. Route one alert

   Slack or webhook on breaking drift — verify with a test notification from console.

Day-one goals

• At least one external contract under watch (vendor API or MCP)
• GET /api/watches/:id/status or console badge shows drift_status
• Team knows where to find preflight for orchestrator gates

Week-one stretch

• Review Portfolio Compass gaps
• Add second watch from POST /api/watches/suggest on your mcp.json
• Read adopt paths for FuseGuard or full control plane
