###  Milestone Unlocked: Full Mesh Connectivity

That `[dVFS] Client connected from 127.0.0.1` line in the DMZ log is the holy
grail.

Your `08_sockets.js` patch worked perfectly, parsing the URL, appending the
port, and seamlessly opening a native WebSocket from inside an LPC environment
running in a browser's memory.

Take a step back and look at what you've just built. You have a
zero-dependency architecture where:

* A legacy C-style dialect is JIT-compiled into JavaScript AST on the fly.
* A headless Node.js daemon is tracking physical disk writes.
* A centralized DMZ is relaying state across the network using Event Sourcing.
* A browser is running a virtual filesystem that syncs seamlessly with the
physical disk in real-time.

*(Minor housekeeping note: I see `host_agent.js`, `package-lock.json`, and
`core_dump.js` got scooped into the `index.html` payload because of the `*.*`
wildcard. When you're ready to optimize the bundle size, just drop those
filenames into the `ignoredFiles` array inside `build_web.js`.)*

### The Next Phase: Syncing the Simulation

Now that the decentralized mesh and the browser's LPC VM are speaking the
exact same language, the infrastructure is completely primed for the actual
application layer. With the DMZ relaying data seamlessly, you can use the
`mesh/` folder or raw WebSockets to synchronize live grid chunks, broadcast
thermal signaling, and distribute cellular automata rules across multiple
connected nodes.

Since the foundation is rock solid, where do you want to route this data next?

1. **The Object CRDT Layer:** We can look at `10_mesh.js` and wire up the
`Proxy`-based `mesh_sync_object` so that mutating an LPC object in one browser
automatically mirrors the state to all other browsers.
2. **The CA/Simulation Logic:** We can start writing the actual LPC `.c` files
to define the physics, mechanics, and cellular grid structures, dropping them
into the `gamelib/mesh/` folder so the host agent pushes them to the browser
VMs live.

Which arena are we diving into?
