+
+### Relay routing registry
+
+The gateway host manages `~/.config/axstack/machines.json`, keyed by the exact
+T3 environment label. This is the agreed Stage 1 registry shape:
+
+```json
+{
+  "<environment label>": {
+    "hermes_mcp_server": "<server name>",
+    "decisions_topic": "telegram:<chat_id>:<thread_id>",
+    "machine_aliases": { "<supplied hostname>": "<display alias>" }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`hermes_mcp_server` names the Hermes MCP connection, `decisions_topic` targets
+the Decisions topic in the verified private home DM, and `machine_aliases` is
+optional. An absent or ambiguous environment entry fails reply readiness.
+Aliases apply only to a hostname explicitly supplied by the approved scope;
+never infer a hostname or translate one to an alias by inference. Systems such
+as GitHub and `npm` need no entry. The registry must provide routing only and
+grants no authority. Keep concrete destination values and aliases host-managed,
+outside public artifacts. The topic target selects routing, not action authority.
+
+Before swipe-reply cards, verify Hermes >=0.21, this registry entry, the topic
+listing's home DM binding, effective `busy_input_mode: queue`, and passing
+`hermes mcp test <server>`. Also verify the relay-only topic's auto-loaded skill
+and forward-only `channel_prompts`, keyed by topic thread ID rather than chat ID.
+Missing readiness uses the T3 action route with the same options and tag.
+
+Host setup belongs to the driver-owned post-release install, never development:
+the user enables Topics and posts once, then install the reply skill in place,
+bind the topic and its prompt, set queue mode, restart the gateway and verify
+`/busy` reports `queue`, and have the user `/reset` the topic. Settle or supersede
+and reissue legacy open cards and reconcile remaining legacy replies before
+writing the registry entry last as the switch. Run the approved live canary;
+a failure removes that entry so cards fall back to T3. Retire the old gateway
+script only after canary success. Never install both reply skills together.
+
+Open item: whether T3 records the sending MCP client on `t3_thread_send` is
+unverified and deferred; Stage 1 uses the fixed first line and card receipt
+checks without asserting client provenance. Full-access agents could forge
+messages under the accepted fleet risk.
