What is the user trying to accomplish?
- Persona
- AI workflow practitioners
- Trigger
- A recurring workflow reaches a costly or unreliable handoff.
- JTBD
- When this workflow occurs, help the user reach a reproducible outcome with explicit evidence and human review.
- Current workaround
- People combine manual checks, ad hoc tools, and repeated rework.
- Desired outcome
- A traceable result with uncertainty and review requirements made explicit.

“### Problem or Motivation Users connecting local Agent Canvas to OpenHands Cloud need clear documentation on where to find their API keys and the distinction between the OpenHands API Key (Session key) and OpenHands LLM Key (Inference proxy). This follows up on #15947. ### Desired Behavior Add a dedicated "Connecting to OpenHands Cloud (optional)" section to `README.md` following the install/quickstart…”

“### Problem / Motivation Agent Canvas currently uses a shared session API key that effectively grants administrator-level access. In a typical local stack, that credential is reused across the browser, Agent Server, automation backend, and automation run environments. That is workable for one trusted developer, but it prevents a developer from safely sharing an always-on Canvas instance with a team. Anyone who…”

Current reviewed evidence: 0 independent confirmations, 0 completed-action records, and 0 prototype-feedback records. A click, contact authorization, or development plan never upgrades the stage automatically.
Editorial judgment: The brief passed evidence-completeness and similarity checks. It is still a repeated-signal hypothesis, not customer, adoption, or product-market-fit evidence.
Evaluate this opportunity without copying the evidence manually.
Opportunity Handoff v1
Opening the form does not submit an issue. A person still decides whether the semantic fit is valid.A read-only export of the task, evidence references, AI path, human gates, counterevidence, unknowns, and validation boundary.

Any developer may submit a non-exclusive plan. A plan does not change the opportunity validation stage.
