A sandboxed virtual-desktop control plane for HELM-routed agents.

Archimedes exposes a fenced Linux session — mouse, keyboard, browser, screenshots, careful file in/out — as HELM tools over IHP-WS with short-lived capability tokens. You host the server and the desktop container beside it; this is not a public “drive my PC from the internet” product. Friendly shorthand on the pitch site: “virtual computer” means that sandboxed Linux workshop box.

The iOS app is the operator console: install gate, trust-mesh claim into the shared AiMANAC App Group, ControlDeck for desktop controls, screenshot viewer with quarantine affordances, and surfaces that stay honest while server features roll out.

• Linux GUI chores become reviewable HELM tool calls — not a raw remote-desktop hole.
• Traffic follows the same sealed-courier posture as the rest of the family (customer-owned host).
• Sign in with Apple plus family trust mesh; iCloud container for connection presets (no screenshot blob sync in v1).

AiMANAC remains the orchestration console. When a job needs desktop fidelity, HELM routes to Archimedes-shaped tools; IHP-WS carries the live session; capability tokens minted on your deployment gate what the model may do each hop.

Bombadil covers on-device agent relay; Archimedes covers hosted desktop execution — different lane, same trust language.

1. Deploy your Archimedes server on a VPS — open the copy-paste walkthrough, set three values, run each command block (or paste panel 11 into your assistant).
2. Install AiMANAC on the same phone so trust-mesh claims and HELM routing stay in one family pocket.
3. Install Archimedes from the App Store when the listing goes live; complete first-boot pairing to your host.
4. Drive desktop work from HELM in AiMANAC; watch Archimedes for live controls, screenshots, and quarantine prompts.

Archimedes is a self-hosted-tier app — Linux desktop containers, IHP-WS wiring, capability tokens. Discord is where operators running their own three-container fleets compare notes.
