 //
-// One MCP server for every app, so an agent registers once. It is a directory
-// and a proxy:
+// The explorer (FANGORN_EXPLORER, default https://explorer.fangorn.network) is the Fangorn
+// app that indexes every publisher. This server downloads the explorer's view and searches
+// it here, so no query ever leaves the machine; it never reads the chain to find anything:
 //
-//   list-apps      apps read off the chain (AppAgentChanged → verified cards)
-//   open-app       verify one app's card and add its tools to this server as
-//                  `<app>__<tool>` (tools/list_changed)
-//   call-app-tool  the same call by name, for clients that ignore list_changed
+//   search      records across every publisher, or one (`publisher`)
+//   publishers  who publishes what: each publisher's repos, with row counts
+//   get         one record in full
+//   buy         a record a publisher sells, quoted at the explorer, paid over x402
+//   wallet      the person's address and balances
+//   publish     records into the person's own repo, on their yes
 //
-// An app's tools are its own MCP server's (the card's `mcp`, the app's Worker at
-// /mcp), relayed. The Worker alone reads the app's lens from R2, so nothing is
-// downloaded here and access is the app's to gate.
-// A private app's paid tools answer with x402's PaymentRequired. With FANGORN_MCP_WALLET_KEY set (or
-// FANGORN_MCP_BUDGET, to pay from the fangorn CLI's key in ~/.fangorn/config.json), this server pays: a pass when the card sells
-// one at or under FANGORN_MCP_MAX_PASS (USDC; unset, never), else that one call at or under
-// FANGORN_MCP_MAX_PRICE (default 0.10), and never past FANGORN_MCP_BUDGET (USDC a month, default 5).
-// Every payment is a receipt in ~/.fangorn/spend.json, shown by `wallet`. Without a wallet the price
-// is handed back to the agent, to say to the person.
-//
-// With either key it also publishes: `publish` commits records to the person's own repo, on their yes.
+// Buying needs FANGORN_MCP_WALLET_KEY and pays at most FANGORN_MCP_MAX_PRICE a record
+// (default 0.10). Publishing signs with that key, else the fangorn CLI's.
