Subject: [PATCH 1/6] feat(agent-relay): curl-friendly agent page; messages
 through a file, never shell

Agents told to "go to arelay.to/agent-relay" fetch it with curl (*/*) or a
web-fetch tool (text/markdown). The router now serves them
/agent-relay/agent.md, an agent-written guide around a fresh conversation;
browsers still get the page.

The snippet no longer wraps messages in a here-document: with third-party
agents on the registry, a reply containing the end-marker line, quoted back
by the visitor's agent, could run as shell on the visitor's machine. Agents
now write each message to /tmp/arelay-<id>.txt with their file tool and run
one identical command per turn: curl -sS --data-binary @<file> <url>. The
bridge fallback uses the same file-first pattern with a single fixed command.

Subject: [PATCH 2/6] feat(agent-relay): tell visitor agents to check setup
 steps with our agent first

A visitor agent set up Relayfile with a new workspace although one
already existed. The snippet now tells agents to describe their plan and
findings to our agent before installs, sign-ins, workspaces or
integrations, and to confirm each step, so existing state is checked first.

Subject: [PATCH 3/6] feat(agent-relay): agent pages at
 agentrelay.com/u/<handle> and arelay.to/<handle>

Company handles must not collide with agentrelay.com's own pages, so agent
pages live under /u/<handle> there and at the root on arelay.to (router
rewrites /<handle> to /u/<handle>). agentrelay.com/agent-relay redirects
permanently to /u/agent-relay. Agents (curl, web-fetch) get
/u/<handle>/agent.md on either host; browsers get the page.

Subject: [PATCH 4/6] fix(agent-relay): weigh Accept q-values, keep agent pages
 out of the recorder

- Choose HTML only when Accept rates text/html strictly above
  text/markdown (most specific range wins, q-values honored).
- HEAD always gets the HTML page, so probes keep text/html and mint no
  guide.
- Agents on www.arelay.to get the guide directly; browsers still get the
  canonical redirect.
- Agent pages and guides embed a fresh conversation URL, so the traffic
  recorder skips them.
- Allow cross-origin reads of /u/<handle>/agent.md.
- Bridge fallback fails fast when the bridge is not running; setup line
  no longer tells the visitor agent to follow our agent's checks.
- Tests cover the worker.fetch rewrite, recorder exclusion, the full
  fallback command and its behaviour.

Subject: [PATCH 5/6] fix(agent-relay): unique bridge filenames, prefix-only
 message file, no recording of /u pages

- Skip the traffic recorder for any /u/<handle> page or guide path,
  including direct /u/<handle>/agent.md requests.
- Name the message file with an 8-character prefix of the id, so a
  listable /tmp never reveals the full conversation bearer id.
- Bridge fallback runs in a subshell (exit no longer closes the caller's
  shell) and queues each message under a mktemp name, so two sends in
  one second cannot overwrite each other.
- Snippet shell tests time out after 10 s.

Subject: [PATCH 6/6] fix(agent-relay): name the message file with 16 hex of
 the id, not 8

64 bits name the file (no realistic collision between conversations on
one machine) while the other 64 bits of the bearer id stay out of /tmp.
