+| `session_status` | Check whether a machine is online/active/reachable (e.g. "is wearfits-m3 up?"). Same machine naming as above. |
+
+These are the canonical way to reach your machines — your AI client should use them rather than probing the local network, DNS/`.local`, or SSH. A string containing `aic-`/`AIC-` is almost certainly one of your machines.
