Phone is spectator. Orchestration stays on this desktop (code-server terminal,
62-
or a Grok bot / Claude Cowork talking to the same Bot API).

59+
## How does attach work?
60+
61+
After `gbr-agent run`: Bot API `http://127.0.0.1:8788` or MCP stdio `gbr-mcp`. Phone is spectator + veto, not orchestrator. Never commit mailbox keys.
62+
63+
User plugins live in **this** repo (not in other projects’ official `examples/`): Grok/Claude manifests, OpenCode `mcp.servers`, AiderDesk extension under `~/.aider-desk/extensions/gbr-pair`.
64+
65+
## Does it replace LAN remotes / mobilerun / Tailscale?
6366

64-
Do not commit mailbox keys. Phone **Settings → Bot API** is the only place the
65-
relay key is copied.
67+
No. Amnibro `:2421`, Farina `:7910`, ChrisP `:8787` stay LAN/Tailscale UIs. mobilerun / agent-device **drive** a phone as a robot. Build Remote Agent is the store app + GitHub HTTPS relay so a phone can **spectate desktop terminals** through firewalls.
