Quick Start
===========

This page reproduces the small Gaussian test case used to verify the simulator.

1. Open Argonaut
================

Open the simulator URL in a browser:

`https://argonautsim-382548405389.us-central1.run.app/ <https://argonautsim-382548405389.us-central1.run.app/>`_

2. Select a Dataset
===================

In the Dataset panel, select ``Gaussian [Subset]``.

Argonaut loads the built-in dataset and shows the Agent Selection panel. The tested deployment reported 11 available Gaussian subset agents.

3. Select Agents, Plans, and Dimensions
=======================================

Use the following values:

.. list-table::
   :header-rows: 1
   :widths: 30 20 50

   * - Setting
     - Value
     - Action
   * - Number of agents (N)
     - ``3``
     - Keep the default value and click ``Done (Lock Selection)``.
   * - Plans per agent (M)
     - ``2``
     - Change the plan count to ``2`` and click ``Done (Lock Selection)``.
   * - Number of dimensions (D)
     - ``100``
     - Change the dimension count to ``100`` and click ``Done (Lock Selection)``.

The Plan Editor then shows the selected agents and the first 10 plan dimensions.

4. Configure the Algorithm
==========================

For the tested run, use:

.. list-table::
   :header-rows: 1
   :widths: 35 65

   * - Setting
     - Value
   * - Algorithm
     - ``Tree-Based Iterative``, ``Brute Force Exhaustive search``, or ``Both Tree-Based + Brute Force``
   * - Iterations
     - ``40``
   * - Children per node
     - ``2``
   * - Simulations
     - ``1``
   * - Global cost
     - ``VAR - Variance``
   * - Local cost
     - ``INDEX - Plan index``
   * - Objective weights
     - :math:`\alpha=0`, :math:`\beta=0`

5. Run
======

Click ``Run Algorithm``.

When the run completes, Argonaut shows:

* A completion banner.
* Final metrics for the selected algorithm.
* ``Downloads`` and ``Logs`` tabs.
* ``Open Visualizer``.

.. note::

   You can kill the Run at any time, then the simulator will output partial results.
