You add your own AI provider keys in the app (stored on your PC only).

SCHOOLS / DISTRICTS
-------------------
If your school blocks software installs, skip this file. Use the web app instead:

  https://vera-echo.com
  Teachers: https://vera-echo.com/educators

Chrome or Edge is enough. No installer required for classroom play.
This Windows package is optional for home PCs and labs that allow installs.


OPTIONAL DESKTOP: SETUP INSTALLER
---------------------------------
1. Download Claim-Clash-Setup.exe from Claim-Clash.com.
2. Save it to a normal folder (Desktop or Downloads). Do not run from inside the zip browser preview.
   Never run the setup from C:\Windows\System32.
3. Double-click Claim-Clash-Setup.exe.
4. If Windows SmartScreen appears (unsigned app): More info -> Run anyway.
