Everything you type stays on your device (browser localStorage). We never POST these values anywhere. The only purpose of this page is to check the FORMAT of your inputs so you don't waste time in Cloud Shell on a typo.

Bring these four values into Cloud Shell when your session starts. Run ./scripts/setup.sh and paste them when prompted.
