+Run `pipane` to start the backend. It registers with `https://pipane.dev` by default and uses the machine's short hostname as its backend name, so no remote-access environment variables are required. Set `PIPANE_BACKEND_NAME` to customize the name, `PIPANE_RENDEZVOUS_URL` to use another rendezvous service, or set `PIPANE_RENDEZVOUS_URL` to an empty value to disable remote registration.

 The backend client reconnects its outbound WebSocket with bounded exponential backoff and repeats challenge authentication. STUN servers may be static. TURN credentials use coturn's REST convention: an expiring `timestamp:subject` username and HMAC-SHA1 credential; fresh backend credentials accompany each `connection_request` rather than expiring in a long-running peer manager. Browser and backend support relay-only ICE policy; deterministic E2E forces both peers through a local UDP TURN relay.
 
-Backend registration uses `PIPANE_RENDEZVOUS_URL` and optional `PIPANE_APP_URL`/`PIPANE_BACKEND_NAME`.

+Backends register with `https://pipane.dev` by default. `PIPANE_RENDEZVOUS_URL` overrides that endpoint (or disables registration when set to an empty value), while `PIPANE_APP_URL` optionally overrides generated browser links. `PIPANE_BACKEND_NAME` is optional and defaults to the machine's non-fully-qualified hostname.
