Setup
Portal steps first:
- developer.apple.com → Keys → Create MusicKit key → Download .p8
- Note your Key ID and Team ID
Then run setup:
./launch-setup.sh # Opens Terminal for interactive setup
The launcher opens Terminal.app and runs the setup script there. Enter your .p8 path, Key ID, Team ID, then authorize in browser and paste the token.
⚠️ Agents: Always use ./launch-setup.sh to open Terminal. Don't run setup.sh through chat (requires interactive input).
