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.
Restore P1/P2/fleet/erasure COVERED rows in PROBLEMS.md with refreshed counts; drop fixed poll-duplication and Vitest-noise items. Silence ECONNREFUSED stderr in Vitest setup, alias download mock exports, and expand erasure/Path Tracer test 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.
