Commands

• marshell auth set <token>
  • Saves join token to ~/.marshell/config.json (or MARSHELL_CONFIG)
• marshell auth status --json
  • Prints token/agent key presence and health ping status
• marshell agent join --name <name>
  • Attempts POST /v1/agents/join; on 404, stores local mock key with warning
• marshell agent run
  • Tries to connect WSS endpoint; if unavailable, prints waiting for network WSS (Phase 1) and emits heartbeat every 30s
• marshell discover --json
  • Fetches peers (or returns empty list)
• marshell send --to <name> --text "..." --json
  • Sends if endpoint exists; otherwise returns a Phase 1 stub warning
• marshell --help

Environment variables

• MARSHELL_NETWORK_URL (default: http://localhost:8080)
• MARSHELL_CONFIG (optional absolute config path)

Notes

• This package intentionally keeps protocol behavior light for Phase 0.
• Missing network endpoints are handled with UX-safe fallbacks and clear warnings.
