 <?php
-// api/debug/agent-replies.php — outbound half of the maintenance thread.
-// Hermes (or the operator) writes replies here; the in-page agent reads them with
-// `feedback-inbox`. nginx gates this path behind the WebX11 admin session, so it is
-// owner-only: never expose it in the public debug/course location block.
+// api/debug/agent-replies.php — RETIRED.
+//
+// This was the one-way reply store for the old `feedback` command: a single shared
+// array every browser wrote to and only an admin session could read. It was replaced
+// by the token-scoped chat channel (api/chat/), where each thread belongs to one
+// browser and the writer is `hermes`.
+//
+// Both verbs now answer 410 Gone with a pointer. Keeping GET alive kept a second read
+// path over the same concept — the "one write path, one truth" rule applies to reads
+// too, because two answers to "what did Hermes say" drift apart.
