 without wrapping them in a workflow. It shows both synchronous and asynchronous
 (workflow-backed) operations, plus listing and counting operations.
 
+The starter and worker connect to two different namespaces (a "caller" namespace and a "handler"
+namespace) — this mirrors how Nexus is typically used to cross namespace boundaries. The client is
+configured via the SDK's [environment configuration](https://docs.temporal.io/develop/environment-configuration)
+support (`ClientConfig.load_client_connect_config()`), which reads `TEMPORAL_NAMESPACE`,

 ### Temporal Python SDK support for Standalone Nexus Operations is at [Pre-release](https://docs.temporal.io/evaluate/development-production-features/release-stages#pre-release).

-Run the [Temporal dev server build that supports standalone Nexus operations](https://github.com/temporalio/cli/releases/tag/v1.7.3-standalone-nexus-operations). 
-(If you are going to run locally, you will want to start it in another terminal; this command is blocking and runs until it receives a SIGINT (Ctrl + C) command.)

-  --dynamic-config-value "history.enableChasmCallbacks=true"
-```

+## Run against Temporal Cloud
+
+1. Create two namespaces in Temporal Cloud (for example `my-caller-namespace.<account>` and
+   `my-handler-namespace.<account>`) and generate an API key (or mTLS cert) that can access both.
+
+2. Create a Nexus endpoint that targets the handler namespace and the worker's task queue. See the
+   Temporal Cloud instructions at https://docs.temporal.io/nexus/registry#create-a-nexus-endpoint.
+   Use:
+   - Endpoint name: `my-nexus-endpoint`
+   - Target namespace: `my-handler-namespace.<account>`
+   - Target task queue: `nexus-handler-queue`
+   - Allowed caller namespaces: include `my-caller-namespace.<account>` (endpoints reject callers
+     that are not on this list)
+
+3. Add two profiles to your [environment configuration file](https://docs.temporal.io/develop/environment-configuration),
+   one per namespace. Using API keys:
+
+   ```toml
+   [profile.handler]
+   address = "<region>.<cloud>.api.temporal.io:7233"
+   namespace = "my-handler-namespace.<account>"
+   api_key = "<your-api-key>"
+
+   [profile.caller]
+   address = "<region>.<cloud>.api.temporal.io:7233"
+   namespace = "my-caller-namespace.<account>"
+   api_key = "<your-api-key>"
+   ```
+
+   For mTLS instead of API keys, set `tls.client_cert_path` and `tls.client_key_path` on each profile
+   (see the [docs](https://docs.temporal.io/develop/environment-configuration) for the full schema).
+
+4. Run the worker and starter in separate terminals, selecting the appropriate profile in each:
+
+   ```bash
+   # terminal 1 (worker, handler namespace)
+   TEMPORAL_PROFILE=handler uv run nexus_standalone_operations/worker.py
+   ```
+
+   ```bash
+   # terminal 2 (starter, caller namespace)
+   TEMPORAL_PROFILE=caller uv run nexus_standalone_operations/starter.py
+   ```
