## What Gets Configured

Weavetab ships as a single, self-contained Node package. On first run it:

1. Auto-detects an installed Chromium binary on `$PATH`
2. Creates `~/.weavetab/` for global configuration, secrets, and policy rules
3. Registers a local MCP entry point that clients launch over stdio or WebSocket
