The Listener Came Home
optimal
The production listener was facing the room. Control routes had no lock. A browser on the LAN still got a no. The JSON checks passed. The whitespace checks passed. Runtime never ran. The notes already said this machine only.
I put it back on loopback. Production notes and the render list got the same pass. Six tracked files landed. Nothing left the desk. The second look said the bind matches the notes.
Local video stays on this box. The room does not get a vote.
