+1. Where do you want the SheepIt jar saved on each system?
+ - a) `C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\sheepit-client.jar`
+ - b) I’ll specify a different path/name
+
+2. To launch it, should we run `java -jar sheepit-client.jar -ui text -full` (keeping the SSH session attached so you can interact), or do you need a different command/flags?
+
+---
+
+_**User (2025-11-05 22:17Z)**_
+
+%appdata%\sheepit is a good location. We should make sure to do -gpu optix 0. And I think -full is the wrong arg. It's --verbose --stdout or something

+**Planning SSH jar launch workflow**
+
+I’m gathering all the details needed to update the script so it SSHs into each remote worker, downloads the jar to `%APPDATA%\sheepit`, and runs it with Java using the specified CLI options including `--renderkey`. I’m also figuring out how to keep the remote SSH session interactive after the jar finishes, likely by opening a new Windows Terminal tab for the session. Since the render key is essential but not provided, I'll plan to prompt the user for it during the script run and cache it. Next, I’ll create a concise plan outlining these script modifications and interactive session handling.

Make Launch Interactive\n - Adjust `Start-SheepItWorker` / `Start-AllSheepIt` to open each worker in its own terminal tab (like the Flamenco launcher) so the SSH session stays open after the jar exits, allowing CLI interaction.",

+Thought Process
+**Planning SheepIt launcher enhancements**
+
+I'm outlining detailed steps to prompt for and store username and render key at script start, update the remote PowerShell script to download and run the SheepIt client jar interactively with these credentials, and revise worker-launching functions to open each SSH session in a new Windows Terminal tab so users can interact with the SheepIt CLI after launch.
+**Designing terminal tab launching with encoded SSH**
+
+I'm planning how to generate per-worker session scripts that run SSH with the encoded remote command inside new Windows Terminal tabs, carefully handling quoting and user interaction so the remote SheepIt client runs interactively and the local tab waits for user input before closing; I’ll also ensure credential prompts happen only once and integrate this flow smoothly with the existing worker-start functions.

+## Summary
+- Prompt the SheepIt username/render key once per session (defaults injected) so launches reuse the saved credentials.
+- Remote command now ensures `%APPDATA%\sheepit\sheepit-client.jar` is downloaded fresh, then runs `java -jar` with `--ui text --stdout --verbose -gpu optix 0 --renderkey …` for interactive CLI use.
+- Worker launches open in dedicated Windows Terminal (or PowerShell) tabs, keeping the SSH session attached so you can interact with the client directly.

+## Next Steps
+- Launch `unified_sheepit_launcher.ps1`, confirm the credential prompts, then start a worker; a new tab should appear with the SheepIt CLI ready for input.

+
+Thought Process
+**Preparing final summary**
+
+---
+
+- Enabled the `i9kf` entry in `unified_sheepit_launcher.ps1`, so it now appears as “ready” in the selector and can be launched like the other systems.
+
+```23:29:unified_sheepit_launcher.ps1
+$workers = @(

+ @{ ID = 2; Name = "blender-boss"; SSHArgs = "-t blender-boss"; Enabled = $true },
+ ...
+```
+
+Run the launcher again and pick option `1`; it should open an interactive SheepIt session for `i9kf`.

+
+Thought Process
+**Reviewing credential prompt calls**
+
+---
+
+- Stopped prompting for credentials by hard-setting the defaults in `Initialize-SheepItCredentials`, so the launcher always uses your preferred username and render key without asking.
+
+```13:20:unified_sheepit_launcher.ps1
