1. Hardware detection — identifies your Apple Silicon chip and RAM
2. Engine scan — checks for installed inference engines (Ollama, LM Studio, mlx-lm, llama.cpp, oMLX, vllm-mlx, Exo)
3. Model check — lists loaded models across all detected engines
4. Daemon status — shows whether the monitoring daemon is running
5. Next steps — suggests commands based on your setup state
