Installation

Set up your app
```
pnpm dlx comms-id init
```
Creates your app's key in .env.local and adds the Comms.ID registry to components.json. The key stays on your machine and server; the browser never holds a credential.
Register your app
In Companion → Registered apps, paste the public key that init printed. Copy the COMMS_ID_CLIENT_ID line it gives you into .env.local. You need a verified website in Companion first. Never paste your private key.
Add the component
```
pnpm dlx comms-id add company-lookup
```

import { CompanyLookup } from "@/components/comms-id/company-lookup";

<CompanyLookup onSelect={(result) => console.log(result.company.acn)} />
