1. `workspace.remote.configure` bootstraps this binary over SSH when missing.
2. Client sends `hello` before enabling remote port probing/forwarding.
3. Daemon status/capabilities are exposed in `workspace.remote.status -> remote.daemon`.
4. Bootstrap creates `~/.cmux/bin/cmux` symlink pointing to the daemon binary.
4. Bootstrap installs `~/.cmux/bin/cmux` wrapper and keeps a default daemon target (`~/.cmux/bin/cmuxd-remote-current`).
5. A background `ssh -N -R` process reverse-forwards a TCP port to the local cmux Unix socket. The relay address is written to `~/.cmux/socket_addr` on the remote.
6. Relay startup writes `~/.cmux/relay/<port>.daemon_path` so the wrapper can route each shell to the correct daemon binary when multiple local cmux instances/versions coexist.
