›what does this run on my machine?

· Downloads /tmp/talos-arcade.py (~94KB, single file)
· Runs it with your system python3 — no pip install, no venv
· Stores your auth token in your OS keychain (or ~/.config/talos-foundrix/arcade/)
· No PATH changes, no shell-rc edits, no third-party packages
· Reverse it all: rm -rf ~/.config/talos-foundrix/arcade
· Reports anonymous error events when an install/launcher step fails (platform · step · error string, no IP, no user id). Opt out: TALOS_NO_TELEMETRY=1

›having trouble?

"command not found: python3" — brew install python3 (macOS), sudo apt install python3 (Debian/Ubuntu), sudo dnf install python3 (Fedora).
"_curses module not found" — happens on minimal Linux installs. Install python3-curses (Debian) or ncurses-libs (RHEL/Fedora).
Hangs at "Connecting…" — outbound WSS to api.arcade.talosfoundrix.com blocked. Check /#status; if green, your firewall is the issue.
Game keys don't respond — your shell ate stdin. Run the launcher directly: curl -fsSL arcade.talosfoundrix.com/play.py > /tmp/a.py && python3 /tmp/a.py
