 2. After the API is running, open the app, go to **Settings**, and add machine entries:
   - **Local**: monitors the API host itself without SSH.
   - **SSH**: monitors another machine using a host, username, and a private key pasted directly into the machine settings, with an optional passphrase.
+   - Use **Validate SSH + trust host** in the machine editor before saving to test the banner/auth flow and record the first trusted host key into the backend-managed `known_hosts` file.
   - The first successful SSH connection uses trust-on-first-use: the backend records that machine's host key into its managed `known_hosts` file automatically, then continues verifying it strictly on later connects.

 3. Open **Monitoring** to see one section per configured machine. Each section uses its own collector state, disk path, metrics queries, and recent action history, which are populated automatically by the backend poller.
