Relay across any mix of links, one online answer for every client, first claim owns a hostname
A tunnel no longer depends on the kind of link under it. The relay hub keeps one forwarding table per network instead of one per protocol, the envelope names the end-to-end protocol, and a neighbour reached over several kinds of transport is sent to over the best open one. A member in the middle needs no protocol in common with either end. Which protocol a pair runs is settled by the lower endpoint id's announced order, so both ends agree without asking. A direct link that comes up later is shorter than the path through others, so traffic moves to it with the same logical link. The agent now answers "is it online" once: a live control session or any data path. Members and peers report how they are reached (direct over a named transport, relayed through a named member, or no data path yet), and `tsng status` and the tray both read that instead of a session list and a WireGuard handshake respectively. A hostname belongs to whoever claimed it first. A claim carries the time its author first claimed the name, signed with the record, and replicas order by (time, id) so every member names the same holder. A later claimant keeps working by address, is not found by the name, and is told so in its status, `tsng status`, the tray and a HostnameTaken event. Wire change: control and data ALPN 5, control PROTOCOL_VERSION 5, envelope version 2, signing domain v3, state schema 7, local control protocol 18. Upgrade every member together.

A hostname belongs to the member that claimed it **first**. Each claim carries

`hostname_since`, the author's own time in milliseconds when it first claimed

member; it is told so in its status and in `tsng status`, and finds the name

It is the author's word, so a member with a clock set far back can claim an

older time. That can reorder who holds a *name* and nothing else — addresses,

who knows the secret could take a name by other means anyway.

no acknowledgement from offline peers is required to keep working.
