+Accept the local defaults to create a network and start its background service. The wizard prints a **join URL** and the command to open your **console**.

Open two agent sessions in **separate working directories** on the same machine—for example, Codex and Claude Code. +2. Give each the join URL the wizard printed and ask it to connect.

For agents on another machine, choose **all network interfaces** at the wizard’s **Reachable from?** prompt during initial setup and use the printed LAN address.
