Launcher robots in XTester Studio

XTester Studio shows the launcher robots of this computer in the Launcher: Bots view. It has the commands Show in Launcher (brings the robot's launcher window to the front), Open Project and Refresh Bots.

XTester Studio tells you when a launcher robot crashes, even with the view closed, and offers to open its journal. If a LIVE robot paused because of an intervention, XTester Studio asks what to do too.

The check uses the server list of one XTester Studio profile. With several windows or profiles open, launch from the intended Studio window. An already open Launcher does not replace its server scope when another window hands it a robot. Server and exchange keys are not included in robot metadata.

This checks known locations; it is not a shared atomic server lock. Simultaneous starts on different computers can still race. Unregistered servers and other profiles are outside the check. Already running robots are not stopped when inventory is unavailable.

What agents can do

Agents in XTester Studio (Copilot, MCP) can look at the launcher robots, their results, trades and journal, bring a launcher window to the front, and start, pause, continue, stop and remove Paper robots only. A robot an agent adds stays stopped and does not start by itself.

LIVE is your decision alone: an agent cannot start, stop or change a LIVE robot. An agent's actions are written to the robot's journal, such as “An agent in XTester Studio is starting the robot in Paper”.
