The first five minutes, as the product and not as a developer's first run

The first launch was a code box with a link under it, then an empty
Live screen with 'No cameras' in amber in a far corner, then a form
asking for an IP address, and for the first few minutes of all of it
the engine silently downloading 275 MB with nothing on screen but a
stopped-looking status. Walked in a browser with the new mock; nobody
who was not an installer would have got through it.

Now: a welcome that asks the one question a shop owner can answer -
managed from a head office, or on this PC only - with each path in a
sentence; a Getting Started checklist on Live that reads its three steps
from the engine and ticks them itself (recognition ready, camera added
and connected, camera proven by a walk-past), with the one button for
the next step, and that disappears the moment somebody is recognised;
and the model download reported as a percentage in the tray, the
sidebar and the checklist, parsed by the supervisor from the engine's
own progress lines.
