When you run t Bridge is exactly what its name says: the **bridge between your sandboxed Linux container and the rest of your real Windows machine**. The container itself is isolated inside WSL2; Bridge is what lets the AI agent and tools reach *out* of it to do real work on your computer — drive **KiCad** and **Fusion 360**, read and capture your screen, stream files back and forth, control your browser, and run UI automation against native apps. The in‑container relay connects to Bridge as a client, so a prompt like *"open this board in KiCad and run DRC"* actually reaches the real KiCad on your desktop and comes back with the result. +Bridge behaves like a child of Hydrogen: Hydrogen bundles it, launches it, owns the system tray, and runs it **embedded** (its own window even wears an "Embedded · HD" badge and offers an Open Hydrogen button). But it is deliberately its own app with its own life: it keeps running if Hydrogen crashes, and it can be **installed standalone** on machines where you don't want the full Hydrogen experience. If you just need an AI to reach a lab PC, a build box, or a second laptop, standalone Bridge is the light way in: it works with any AI, cloud or local, no Hydrogen required.++<img src="screenshots/bridge-window.png" alt="Adom Bridge running embedded under Hydrogen: connections, activity log, bridges, runtimes" width="640">+ It's signed by the same publisher as Hydrogen (*Adom Industries, Inc.*).

For the The heart of Hydrogen is a genuine Linux environment running **on your own machine** through **WSL2** — not a remote VM, not a cloud container you rent. Hydrogen provisions a dedicated, isolated Ubuntu 24.04 distro (`Adom‑Workspace`) from a pre‑baked golden image, and everything Linux‑side lives inside that container: VS Code (code‑server), Claude Code, `adom‑cli`, the design tools, and the skills. Because it's WSL2, it boots in seconds, uses your CPU and memory natively, and stays cleanly separated from the rest of your system — including your other WSL distros and Docker Desktop, which Hydrogen never touches. Your **repositories stay on the Windows side**, never trapped inside the distro, so they survive resets and reinstalls untouched. Your Adom account is identity only; the work runs locally, and nothing about it has to leave your machine. +The **CONTAINER meter** in the title bar keeps the container honest at a glance: live CPU and RAM bars for the Linux container itself. Hover it for the details: which distro it is measuring (the `Adom-Workspace` WSL2 distro, not the Hydrogen app), CPU as a share of your cores, RAM used of the cap, disk footprint, and the container ID. If Hydrogen ever feels heavy, this meter is how you see in one glance that it almost never is the container.+  ---@@ -135,7 +141,15 @@ A live map of every port Hydrogen binds, across both layers: the Windows fronten ### API Explorer -Browse and try every endpoint of Hydrogen's control API, the same API external AIs and scripts drive.
