The relay was buried at the bottom of settings. It is now a switch on the
home screen - not a third chip beside Quick and Long, because those choose
how the next run measures while this starts a service that outlives it and
produces no document at all. Debug builds only: it publishes where this
device can be reached over adb, which is scaffolding for driving a test
device and a footgun in a release build.
And it never worked. localIp() read WifiManager.connectionInfo.ipAddress,
deprecated and returning 0 to ordinary apps on current Android, so the
own-device check compared every advertisement against null and rejected
all of them - the service ran, reported healthy, and relayed nothing. Now
read from LinkProperties, and when this device genuinely cannot say what
its own address is the endpoint is relayed anyway, labelled unverified:
silence was the worse answer.
