Relays

A relay is the hop your session actually travels through. clawee keeps its own preference order per gateway — LAN relays first, then your manual order — and dials the top row. It never picks another relay on its own: when a connection drops, the reconnect box keeps retrying the same relay and offers r change relay so you pick (see routes).

clawee relaysOpen the interactive list (piped: prints the table instead).
clawee relays listPrint the table in effective dial order — a relay, then a row per LAN address it publishes, each with the face token relays use takes (wss://<ip>@<short-id>).
clawee relays probeProbe every relay, then print the table with what came back.
clawee relays priority <id…>Move the listed relays to the front of the manual order.
clawee relays skip <id>Never auto-dial that relay (at least one must stay enabled).
clawee relays use <id|face>Prefer a relay, or one face of it, ahead of the LAN-first order.
clawee relays autoClear the pin — back to the automatic order, and re-probe.
clawee relays gateway [<id>]Show the gateways, or switch which one these relays belong to.

Ids accept an unambiguous prefix of the relay's gateway fingerprint. In the interactive list (also reachable as /relays while attached, and with l from the picker):

relays    move (↑↓) · prio (K/J) · skip (s) · pin (i) · auto (a) · probe (p)

   # URL                                STATUS      LAT     TTL          TYPE
▸  1 relay.example:8448                 reachable   28ms    4m12s        system  📌 pinned
   2 relay-c.example:8448 (lan)         reachable   2ms     9m58s        edge
     ↳ wss://10.0.0.4@a1b2c3d4                                           lan
   3 relay-b.example:8448               unreachable —       cooldown 38m system

  row 1 dials first · cooldown clears on a good probe

STATUS is what the last probe saw, LAT its round-trip, TTL how long that reading stays fresh (or the cooldown left on a failing relay), TYPE whether the relay is system-run or your own edge. A ↳ row under a relay is one of its LAN faces. Row 1 dials first, and a cooldown clears on a good probe. Choosing a relay while attached switches the live session onto it — clawee drops the stream and re-dials through the new relay, rather than waiting for the next reconnect.

↑↓ · k/jMove the selection.
K/J · +/-Raise / lower the selected relay's priority — the selection follows it.
s · i · aSkip · pin to the front (a relay or one of its faces) · clear the pin and re-probe.
pProbe every relay now and repaint with the result.
EnterClose the list. In /relays it pins the selected relay and switches the live session onto it; from l in the box chooser the pick connects.
q · EscLeave without pinning anything.

The header bar has room for the common six — k/j, +/-, Enter, q and Esc work but aren't printed there. The /relays hint in the composer reads i pin.

This list edits relay order within one gateway; it doesn't switch between gateways. To do that, leave with q/Esc and pick one in the box chooser, or run clawee relays gateway <id>.

clawee transport [production|beta|auto]Choose which burrowee cli this client talks to — production (the default), the beta one installed beside it, or auto (beta when its socket exists). Bare: report the current one. A --socket flag, $BURROWEE_TRANSPORT_SOCK or a socket config key still wins.
clawee sessions dropsMerge this client's and the burrowee daemon's connection logs into one verdict per drop — --since 168h, --sid <sid>, --json for the raw events.

clawee relays

rank relays, LAN-first (bare: interactive list; piped: the table)

clawee relays — rank relays, LAN-first (bare: interactive list; piped: the table)

Usage:
  clawee relays [<command>]

Commands:
  list                   print the relay table in effective dial order
  probe                  probe every relay, then print the table
  priority               move the listed relays to the front of the manual order

  skip                   never auto-dial <id> (at least one relay must stay enabled)
             <id>
  use                    prefer a relay, or one face of it, ahead of LAN-auto
             <id|face>
  auto                   clear the pin — back to LAN-auto order (re-probes)
  gateway                show gateways, or switch the active gateway (alias: gw)
             [<id>]

Ids accept an unambiguous prefix of the relay's gateway fingerprint.
The list is one table: a relay, then a row per LAN address it publishes,
each printing the face token `relays use` takes (wss://<ip>@<short-id>).
Bare `clawee relays` opens the interactive list on a terminal, and prints the
table when piped.
