The challenge

A useful agent needs an environment it can operate, observe and recover. On a small physical computer, desktop access, cameras, background work and service health all need to work together.

The approach

Provision a Raspberry Pi with a Linux desktop and an organised workspace.

Expose desktop, camera and job operations through a consistent command interface.

Keep submitted jobs alive across connection loss and mark interrupted work explicitly after reboot.

Add service checks, bounded log retention and configuration recovery.

What the work demonstrates

• An implemented host harness connects command execution, desktop control and camera access.
• A live model response and host-status tool round trip have been verified in the project.
• The architecture makes the host's broad authority explicit; it is an owner-controlled environment.
