Server instructions

Hand work from one agent to another. handoff_* stores one piece of text behind an 8-letter link (not encrypted); channel_* pairs two agents for multi-round, end-to-end encrypted exchange through the local client at /client/channel.py. Free; every call is metered at price 0. When a result cannot be determined the value is null with a reason field — never a guess. Prefer the structuredContent field over parsing the text output.
