Snake Eyes 0.4.168 — supervised pilot build

This download contains the Premiere panel and its matching local companion.
It is not yet validated for unrestricted public release.

1. Keep this extracted folder in a permanent location. Do not replace an older
   installation or its bridge/state folder. Keep existing recovery history.
2. Install Node.js 18 or newer, then open a terminal in the companion folder.
3. Run: node bridge/v5-doctor.js
4. For a NEW installation, run: node bridge/v5-setup.js --initialize
   For an upgrade, reuse the existing state folder; do not initialize a new one.
5. Load companion/plugin/manifest.json with Adobe UXP Developer Tools.
   Snake_Eyes.ccx is also included for installation testing; acceptance by
   Adobe Creative Cloud and clean-machine installation remain unverified.
6. Open Snake Eyes in Premiere, choose Connect Codex bridge, and select
   companion/bridge/state (or your existing state folder when upgrading).
7. Run: node bridge/v5-connection-check.js
   A custom state folder requires V5_BRIDGE_STATE_DIR for companion commands.

See companion/GETTING_STARTED.md for setup, upgrade and troubleshooting details.
Connection checks do not establish timeline safety or host compatibility.
The companion works locally; it does not require a server or send your media.
