+is missing, an interactive run offers:
+
+```text
+Add the connected OTA source to this controller's contacts? [y/N]
+```
+
+This works through both the shell and PowerShell launchers. The runner reads the
+source's existing `card` command over USB/TCP, checks the full key in its contact
+card against the connected source, and shows its name/key before asking. On
+approval it rechecks the source/controller identities and live contact table,
+then uses MeshCore's existing `import_contact` API. Signature validation remains
+with the controller's normal advert importer. For manual-add controllers it can
+approve only that exact source through `add_pending`; it does not enable general
+auto-add. A fresh `reload_contacts` must confirm the full source key before OTA
+continues. No LoRa advertisement or firmware update is required for this import.
+
+The default answer is **No**; `--yes` does not approve adding a contact. A
+noninteractive run stops with instructions to rerun in a terminal. Unsupported
+`card` firmware, malformed/mismatched cards, and unverified imports stop with
+manual-import/discovery guidance. To protect existing contacts, the controller's
+overwrite-oldest policy must be verifiably disabled; otherwise the runner stops
+and shows how to disable that bit without changing other auto-add flags. It does
+not change this policy itself. A full table or rejected import cannot be worked
+around by deleting another contact; an uncertain import is not automatically
+retried. An approved contact remains on the controller for subsequent runs.
+
+The normal/TempRadio on-air ACK checks still run; adding a contact does not prove
+radio reachability or skip those checks.
 When the controller and source are the same TCP Full Companion, use the verified
 `--source-shares-controller` topology; it does not need a contact for itself.
