## Founders Circle — Network Topology

### VPN (WireGuard via Seb's Firewalla Purple)
- Seb: 10.10.50.1 (also Firewalla gateway 10.0.1.1)
- Luke: 10.10.50.2
- David: 10.10.50.3
- Peter: 10.10.50.4

### Service Endpoints (on Seb's LAN, routed via VPN)
- **CapableHands clasp (Peter's M4 Pro 64GB)**: `http://10.0.1.136:3011`
- **Doorbell**: `http://10.0.1.136:3012`
- **Meld (frontEdge, Mac Mini 2018 32GB)**: `http://10.0.1.10:3011`
- **Meld public URL**: `https://join.capableminds.ai` (502 via openresty — use LAN IP instead)

### David's MCP Config
`~/.mcp.json` includes `BM_MELD_URL=http://10.0.1.10:3011` to bypass broken public URL.

### Reconnection Procedure
1. Ensure VPN is active: `netstat -rn | grep 10.0.1` should show routes via utun
2. Verify endpoints: `curl -s http://10.0.1.136:3011/health | head -c 100`
3. Check existing pairing: `list_pairings` — if `circle-founders-*` is still active, no action needed
4. If pairing lost: ask Seb for a new invite code, then `submit_invite_code` with `peer_url: http://10.0.1.136:3011`

### Circle Details
- Circle ID: `founders`
- Pairing ID: `circle-founders-dfe4df0c` (may change on re-pair)
- Remote instance: `cm-instance-609c4c2ffa689ab2` (CapableHands)
- Trust: 0.8 inbound/outbound
- Clasp: Peter's M4 Pro (not David's machine)

### Known Issues (as of 2026-03-16)
- Transport bridge not flushing outbound buffer — doorbell auth issue, waiting on Seb
- Meld public URL broken (openresty 502) — always use `BM_MELD_URL` env var with LAN IP
- `submit_invite_code` must use `peer_url` param to bypass Meld resolution
