Verify

Save the configuration, run the built-in connection test when available, then start a new chat.
Store API keys only on trusted devices. Never commit a real key to Git or share it with others.
Some clients restrict agent mode or autocomplete when using third-party endpoints. These restrictions come from the client, not MaxAPI.
