> ## Agent Instructions
> To build and serve your own model, start at /deploy/development/quickstart and /deploy/development/overview. Deploying is the default path: reactor init scaffolds a workspace, reactor auth login authenticates, and reactor model deploy registers the model, publishes the release with the weights/ folder, and activates it on Reactor's GPUs, in one command from that workspace. Docker must be running, because the publish step builds the image locally. Bump model.version in reactor.yaml before redeploying a change, because a release that already has an image is reactivated as it is. Deployment access is granted per account, so contact team@reactor.inc if a deploy is refused. Every key in reactor.yaml is documented at /deploy/platform/reactor-yaml. Model code imports reactor_runtime; Python client code imports reactor_sdk. The runtime overview explains the model interface. Running the model on your own machine with reactor run is optional and needs a GPU you attach with --gpus; /deploy/development/local-testing covers that loop and pairs a complete brightness model with a Python client test in a separate brightness-test workspace.
> Reactor hosts multiple models, each with its own connect slug (modelName) and command/event schema. The video model catalog — slug, typed SDK package, and links to its schema — is at /model-api-reference/overview. Robotics policy documentation starts at /robotics/overview; The launch policies are Cosmos Nano DROID (/robotics/cosmos/nano-policy-droid/), DreamZero DROID (/robotics/dreamzero/droid/), and FLUX Action DROID (/robotics/flux-action/droid/), organized by model family and embodiment. Some models expose one slug per experience (e.g. HappyOyster); always take the slug from the model's own pages, never guess it.
> Fastest path to a working app: `npx create-reactor-app my-app --model=<slug>` scaffolds a complete app with secure auth wired up. Typed TypeScript SDKs are published as @reactor-models/<model>; Python uses the base reactor-sdk package.
> Auth: exchange an API key (rk_...) for a JWT via POST https://api.reactor.inc/tokens from your server. Never put the API key in client-side code.
> Append .md to any docs URL for clean Markdown. Search these docs via the MCP server at https://docs.reactor.inc/mcp.

# Create a file

> Creates a file owned by your account and returns a presigned URL for its bytes. Unlike a
session upload, the file exists before any session: name it in `POST /sessions` under
`extra_configs.file_ids`, and the model receives it under `upload_id` equal to its
`file_id`. Any session of the account can name the file until `expires_at` (24 hours
after creation).

Then `PUT` exactly `size` bytes to `presigned_url`, with `Content-Type` equal to
`mime_type`, within 15 minutes. Any other size or type is refused by the storage. A session
can name the file only after that upload succeeds.

API keys only, held by a `developer` or `account_admin`. Send the key as
`Authorization: Bearer rk_...` (or `Reactor-API-Key: rk_...`; `Authorization` wins when
both are present). A session token is refused with `401`. The account comes from the key.

    The Reactor Platform API mints session tokens, starts and operates sessions,
    negotiates media

    transport, and manages your account, models, and deployments. Every path is

    `https://api.reactor.inc`. See the
    [Introduction](/platform-api/introduction) and

    [Authentication](/platform-api/authentication) pages for credentials,
