Carries the emulator through the help and the README, so a reader without hardware learns how to boot one, enroll it and reset it wherever they arrive, not only in the emulator's own repository.
Help:
ark help devicesgains an Emulators section that owns the story. It names Ark Emulator with its caution,ark-emulator startfor the locator andark-emulator help agentsfor scripts. A fresh emulator is self-signed and is enrolled at Ark Hub before it pairs. Its identity lasts 30 days, after which stop, wipe and start give a fresh device, and its firmware comes with the app. The cloud environment section adds thatark-emulator start --envpicks a new image's environment. The agents topic adds the enroll step to Checking state and a short Emulated Arks section that points to the devices topic. The apps, states and output topics name Ark Emulator, and output givesenrollment-requiredandregistry-inactivetheir next steps.Enroll: the one-liner is now "Enroll the Ark at Ark Hub, or install an attestation". Without
--cwtthe command only prints the Ark Hub address, so its Exit line says that path always ends inenrollment-required.Hints: an inactive registration on an emulator names
ark-emulator stop,wipeandstartfor a fresh device, thenark enroll, andalready-enrolledon an emulator names the same reset. Hardware gets neither. An inactive hardware registration says to contact Dark Bio, where it used to say to enroll the emulator again.README: the introduction links Ark Emulator, and the first session points readers without hardware to a new Emulated Arks section with the caution,
ark-emulator start, enrollment at Ark Hub, the 30 days and the reset. The firmware section says an emulator is updated with the app, and the topic table lists emulators under devices.The manual test also pins
ark-emulator help agentsnow, matched across line breaks since a phrase can wrap. The hint selection has no test of its own.Not in this change:
ark devicesstill leaves out the identity expiry the emulator registry publishes, which #14 tracks.
