Agents read vpc-id from EC2 IMDS on auth; the server scopes subnet_primary_seeder to vpc-id with /24 fallback, exposes VPC seeder badges, and documents cross-VPC gossip via peering/TGW.
Operators configure bucket and CloudFront domain with env credentials; deploy plans upload RS 4+2 shards and attach signed edge URLs to BGP swarm magnets. Agents fetch LAN, CloudFront, then C2. Forge panel adds test and IAM policy JSON.
Cluster 3+ scout_report hits on the same SSID within 10 minutes; server infers airport/campus/retail venue class and pushes persona spread_policy. Emberwake weather-map merges active scout biomes. Includes agent, server API, and Vitest coverage.
Server Reed-Solomon 4+2 shard encode on deploy plans when erasure_lanes_enabled; agents reassemble from parallel lane URLs as staging fallback with BGP/Path Tracer hints.
Implements three new spread lanes following the do_peer pattern: DNS TXT mesh staging, WebRTC LAN seed manifest delivery, and WSUS SoftwareDistribution cousin handoff. Integrates tiers into onion chain, deploy-plan allowlist, Forge UI/docs, and tests.
