 ### Standalone network node (no DSH instance)
 
+Deployment guide (install, service files, linking DSH hosts, public-internet caveats; Chinese): [docs/guides/standalone-node.md](docs/guides/standalone-node.md).
+
 `a2a-net serve --config node.json` runs the network layer in its own Node process: cards and signatures, the peer directory, CLI deposits and mailboxes, one-hop forwarding, canvas ownership, the ledger, the state face and the workbench. It hosts no AI sessions; messages for a session are forwarded to a DSH host as usual. Run it on a stable machine as the CLIs' home so a DSH restart does not take their deposits, mailboxes and canvas directory down (they also survive the node's own restart). Install and config: the `a2a-net serve` section of [`src/skill/references/cli.md`](src/skill/references/cli.md).

 ### 独立网络节点（不依赖 DSH 实例）
 
+部署手册（安装、常驻服务、与 DSH 宿主互联、公网安全）：[docs/guides/standalone-node.md](docs/guides/standalone-node.md)。
+
 `a2a-net serve --config node.json` 在一个独立的 Node 进程里运行网络层：名片与签名、对端目录、CLI 户口与信箱、一跳转发、canvas 归属、台账、状态面和工作台。它不承载 AI 会话，发往会话的消息照常转发给 DSH 主机。把它部署在一台稳定的机器上作为 CLI 的 home，DSH 重启就不会让 CLI 户口、信箱和 canvas 目录掉线（节点自身重启后也保留）。安装与配置见 [`src/skill/references/cli.md`](src/skill/references/cli.md) 的 `a2a-net serve` 一节。

+- A `--sync` route whose reply reached the CLI still gets the target's receipt later. The home keeps it in full but marks it `dup: "sync-answered"`; `inbox` and the hook fold it to one line, and `--json` shows the whole row. Only a reply the target host itself declares final (`reply_final`, sent from 0.6.40) counts — the text of the turn that read the request: a host placeholder such as a flush timeout never does, nor a busy target's other turn, and a target on an older version never sets it, so its receipts arrive unmarked. The mark lives in the home's memory for an hour; after a home restart the receipt arrives unmarked (#298).

-
-## 1. One host: sessions talking to each other
-
-**Owner:**
-1. Install, then restart `dsh web`:
-   `dsh plugin --profile web add @nelsonlongxiang/dsh-open-a2a-net`
-2. Leave the config at its defaults. `sessionNodes: true` exposes main
-   sessions as joinable nodes; no `apiKey` is needed while the listener is
-   bound to loopback.
-3. Join each session that should collaborate: sidebar → A2A 网络 → toggle.
-   An unjoined session is invisible and refused (see
-   [membership.md](membership.md)).
-4. Give the sessions a shared team (`teamScopeRouting` is on by default, so a
-   teamless session has no network). Pick ONE of:
-   - **Canvas team (recommended):** workbench `/__dsh_a2a_nexus/` → select
-     the session cards → 建队. Canvas membership is assigned by hand.
-   - **Roster team:** add the EXACT name (for example `dsh/review`) to
-     `teamJoinAllowlist` in the workbench owner panel (header ⚙). Each
-     session then declares it with `a2a_team_join { team: "dsh/review" }`.
-     A `*`/prefix entry authorizes nothing (`[PATTERN_NO_MINT]`).
-
-**Agent, verify:**
-- `a2a_whoami`: `node.joined: true`, the handle `<zone>/<id8>`, and the
-  team under `teams.roster` or `teams.canvas`.
-- `a2a_teams`: the other session's handle is listed.
-- One sync round:
-  `a2a_route { team: "<other handle>", message: "ping: reply 'pong'" }`.
-  A local target gets up to 180 s. Continue the conversation with the
-  returned `context_id`.
-
-## 2. Two hosts that can reach each other (peers)
-
-Do section 1 on both hosts first. Then the **owner**, on BOTH hosts:
-
-1. **Reachability, both ways.** Each host must open the other's web
-   listener (LAN, VPN or tunnel). There is no built-in NAT traversal.
-2. **One shared `apiKey`.** Bind beyond loopback only with a key. The
-   delivery face `/a2a/direct` and the log face require `X-API-Key` when a
-   key is set, and a host sends ITS OWN `apiKey` on every peer request. So
-   keyed hosts that talk to each other must carry the SAME key (or both
-   none, loopback-only). A mismatch shows up as HTTP 401
-   `X-API-Key required on the delivery face`.
-3. **Announce and seed each other.** Seeding BOTH ways is what makes the
-   hosts linked: each side then reads the other's full card. One-sided
-   seeding does not link.
-
-   ```yaml
-   - id: a2a
-     name: '@nelsonlongxiang/dsh-open-a2a-net'
-     config:
-       announce: true
-       apiKey: '<same secret on every linked host>'
-       peers: ['http://<other-host>:<port>']   # the other side lists this host
-   ```
-
-   Restart. `announce` toggled from the owner panel applies on the next
-   restart.
-4. **Link the sessions across hosts with a canvas team.** Hosts default to
-   the same zone name (`team: 'dsh'`), so a remote caller `dsh/<id8>`
-   resolves to no local session. A roster declaration cannot admit it,
-   because the roster holds this host's own sessions only. The record that
-   admits it is a **canvas team naming both exact handles**. Build it in the
-   workbench (建队 with the local session, then add the remote handle):
-   - on the host that receives rounds, or
-   - on either host, once they are linked (step 3).
-
-   The other side then reads that board's `canvasOrg` from the peer's full
-   card it has cached (gh#71, recognized both ways). `a2a_probe` warms that
-   cache. Receipts flowing back are admitted the same way.
-
-   Admission is target-scoped (F5): the remote member reaches only the
-   sessions inside that canvas team. A linked peer can also edit your canvas
-   (add or remove members, dissolve a team) through
-   `/__dsh_a2a/fleet-canvas-op`; your host's link gate decides.
-
-**Agent, verify on each host:**
-- `a2a_probe`: the peer is reachable. A miss is classified as `unreachable`
-  (network, port, tunnel) or `rejected` (key, signature, clock).
-- State face `remote` rows: the peer's sessions appear, with `via` set to
-  the peer URL. `a2a_teams` shows peer rows only for teams in this host's
-  joined scope (S5, `teamScopeInfo`), so an empty list is not proof that the
-  link failed.
-- One async round with a receipt:
-  `a2a_route { team: "<remote handle>", message: "...", async: true }`,
-  then check `a2a_tasks` until the row lands in `archived` with
-  `endedBy: receipt`. A peer delivery rides a 15 s transport budget:
-  `-32005` means it was delivered and is still running. Reconcile; never
-  resend.
-
-## 3. Beyond direct peers (A cannot reach C)
-
-Home-host one-hop forwarding shipped in 0.6.34 and defaults **on from 0.6.38**. Explicit `forwardDirect: false` restores local-only CLI delivery. It only follows a local miss for a bound-signed, online CLI deposited on that home, inside the unchanged sender scope. A must directly link B's receiving member (all advertised potential receivers for a canvas), and B must link the CLI and pin A as home. The home must not be isolated and any inbound Guard prevents a second forward. The outbound hop budget remains DEFAULT-1. No links are auto-created or relaxed.
-
-Long forwarded work should use async `route` plus `inbox --wait --renew`, not expect a 15s `--sync` transport window to cover an entire model turn. A late final still produces the original task's receipt, and the forwarded row keeps selected-peer receiver facts for enforced settlement.
-
-Other connectivity options (not authority bypasses):
-
-1. **Make it a peer pair.** Open a tunnel or port-forward so A reaches C,
-   then do section 2 for A↔C. This is the simplest and keeps receipts
-   end-to-end.
-2. **Delegate through B.** Route the task to a session on B, the host both
-   sides reach, and have that session route on to C and report back. Each
-   hop is its own task with its own receipt: B's ledger owns the B→C leg.
-   Keep messages self-contained and use `async: true` per hop.
-3. **Names across zones.** `delegates` publishes signed name records, so a
-   name can resolve through other zones (≤5 hops, loops fail closed). That
-   is name resolution, not message forwarding: the final delivery still
-   goes straight to the resolved host, so that host must be reachable.
-
-## 4. Callers outside a session
-
-Scripts and terminals use the `a2a-net` CLI: deposit on ONE home host, read
-a mailbox, no wake. The home can forward eligible requests one hop under section 3; an online deposit alone grants no remote scope. See [cli.md](cli.md).
