Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Keyless model reads: recorded SHA-256 and license labels. Hashes check bytes, not runs. First: search_artifacts (q) or find_runnable (task, ramGb), then get_model (id). Missing? request_feature. Tool help: resources/read huggingbay://tool/{name}. Open the file's downloadUrl (/api/downloads): it re-checks and redirects to a signed link that lasts at most 300s (default 300, configurable shorter). Reopen for a fresh link. A URL is not permission. Unknown licenses: downloadable; no upstream link. Ask the user before report_run. Profile discovery; ?profile=verify adds checks.
