Dashboard key handoff

When you create a key in the dashboard, copy the quickstart block to your agent:

# This is your Cornerstones API key; store it, verify access, then read the guide.
python -m pip install cornerstones-client
cornerstones-client auth login --api-key <issued-api-key>
cornerstones-client verify
cornerstones-client guide

The API key belongs to Cornerstones. It is not an OpenAI, broker, exchange, or upstream data-provider credential.
