 # Starts the desktop app on a virtual display and runs the scripted UI cases with the ui helper:
-# onboarding to the chat list, and a search of the test directory (backend.sh) from the chat list search field,
-# with the toolbar at the bottom (the default) and then at the top.
-# Usage: scripts/ci/desktop-linux/smoke-test.sh <app dir> <output dir> [onboarding]
+# onboarding to the chat list; setup, which creates a local group and makes the test SMP server (backend.sh) the one
+# that resolves SimpleX names; then, with the toolbar at the bottom (the default) and then at the top, a search of
+# the test directory with "Search in Directory" and the full search with Enter, which also resolves a SimpleX name.
+# Usage: scripts/ci/desktop-linux/smoke-test.sh <app dir> <output dir> [onboarding|setup]
 # With "onboarding" it stops at the chat list: releases before directory search show no search field without chats.
+# With "setup" it stops after the setup. Setup needs NAMES_SERVER, the test SMP server's address.
 # Each step saves a numbered screenshot and the text read from it to the output dir, prints the text to the log,
-# and adds a line to steps.log there. What the search shows is checked without stopping: every check is listed in
+# and adds a line to steps.log there. What the searches show is checked without stopping: every check is listed in
