site: guard the removed remote claim and agent count against return (FRE-323, FRE-359)

copy.md said the sentences were "removed from the live site" and
rationale.md said "the landing page now says only what the product can back
today". Neither is true: nook.freno.me still serves all of them (HTTP 200,
re-fetched 2026-10-29T14:20Z) because the push is blocked on a write
credential (card 82d1e1b7). Both files now say committed-not-deployed, and
positioning.md's excluded-count row records FRE-359 verdict B and where the
count was removed.

+# Remote SSH copy — HELD, do not publish
+
+**Status:** removed from the `freno-dev` source on 2026-10-29 in the FRE-323
+correction, and **not yet off the live site** — the deploy is blocked on a write
+credential to `mikefreno/freno-dev` (card `82d1e1b7`). `nook.freno.me` still
+serves every sentence below until that push or a Vercel deploy lands.
+**Owner:** CMO. **Verified by:** CTO, on the FRE-320/FRE-205 work.
+**Restore only when:** FRE-320/FRE-205 ship a genuinely one-click install, the CTO
+verifies that flow, and a recording shows a remote agent joining the island.
+Until then this file is the only home for these sentences.
+
+## What was removed
+
+### 1. Landing collage tile
+
+Source: `src/components/nook/FeatureCollage.tsx` (removed 2026-10-29).
+
+```
+kicker: Remote
+title:  Agents on other machines
+body:   Run agents on Linux boxes and SSH servers — one click installs the
+        nook-hook, and their sessions join the same island.
+```
+
+The mock attached to it showed two session rows whose agent chips named
+`build-box` and `gpu-rig`.
+
+### 2. Landing feature breakdown section
+
+Source: `src/components/nook/FeatureBreakdowns.tsx` (removed 2026-10-29).
+
+```
+kicker: Remote
+title:  Any SSH box, one click away
+body:   Pick a host from your ssh config or your tailnet and click once — the
+        nook-hook installs itself and its agents appear beside your local ones,
+        indistinguishable.
+
+bullets:
+- One click: connect, push the hook, configure agents, check it can reach this Mac
+- Hosts mirror this Mac's installed integrations automatically
+- Remote sessions are ordinary rows; the agent chip names the machine
+```
+
+The section's demo animated a `gpu-rig` host moving from "Not set up" through
+`connecting` → `pushing the hook binary` → `configuring agents` → `checking the
+host can reach this Mac` → `Live`, then showed a remote session row.
+
+### 3. Approvals bullet
+
+Source: `src/components/nook/FeatureBreakdowns.tsx` (removed 2026-10-29).
+
+```
+- Works across every hooked agent, local or remote
+```
+
+### 4. Feature chip
+
+Source: `src/components/nook/IslandExtras.tsx` (removed 2026-10-29).
+
+```
+One-click SSH setup
+```
+
+## What replaced it
+
+Nothing. The Remote tile and section were removed rather than replaced; the
+existing Approvals cell already carries the verified local claim:
+
+> Approve an agent's tool call from your Mac's notch, and the agent carries on.
+
+## Restore checklist
+
+1. FRE-320/FRE-205 have shipped the one-click install and removed the
+   `~/.ssh/config` / `ssh-copy-id` friction described in FRE-320.
+2. The CTO has verified the shipping flow and the evidence is on FRE-320.
+3. A recording exists showing a remote agent joining the island.
+4. CMO restores the copy above, then owns the launch plan for it — with an
+   owner and date per item — before anything goes back on the site.

+# Why the remote claim is parked
+
+The site was selling a setup path a buyer does not get.
+
+FRE-320 measured today's actual path (2026-10-29): the one-click flow is
+app-UI-only, needs a hand-edited `~/.ssh/config` for any host not already in ssh
+config or on the tailnet, needs a one-time `ssh-copy-id` because the app runs ssh
+with `BatchMode=yes`, and has no manual fallback for minting the per-host
+credential. FRE-315 and FRE-322 §3 correction 4 marked the remote claim
+unverified and demo-gated. The CTO named it the largest launch risk because it
+was already in front of buyers.
+
+So the `freno-dev` source now says only what the product can back today: local
+agents, the card, and the notch. That correction is committed locally and is
+**not deployed** — the live page still carries the remote sentences until the
+push in FRE-323 card `82d1e1b7` lands. The remote story is not deleted — it is
+parked here with the FRE-320/FRE-205 work so it can return the day the one-click
+install ships and is recorded.
+
+## What has to be true before it returns
+
+| Requirement | Owner | Date |
+|---|---|---|
+| One-click install ships without hand-edited `~/.ssh/config` or `ssh-copy-id` | FRE-320/FRE-205 engineering | When FRE-320/FRE-205 ships |
+| CTO verifies the shipping flow and records the evidence on FRE-320 | CTO | Same day, before any copy moves |
+| A recording shows a remote agent joining the island | Sponsor/CMO | Before restore |
+| Restore copy and rebuild the launch plan with an owner + date per item | CMO | Day the three rows above are true |
+
+Nothing in this folder is publishable. `marketing/approved/` remains the only
+place a human publishes from.

+of Staff on 2026-10-29 ([FRE-346] `decision` §2–§4):

+tables below, it does not go in copy.
 
 ### 3. Honest privacy scoping
 
-Telemetry and the trial email **do** leave the device. The defensible claim is:
+Telemetry and the licence check **do** leave the device: Sentry runs on **every
+launch, unconditionally** (with the Mac's IP address via `sendDefaultPii`), and the
+trial check sends `IOPlatformUUID` and the device name to `freno.me` ([FRE-322]
+§2.4, corrected by [FRE-354] `(b)`). Never publish, in any wording:
 
-> **No prompt or code content leaves the device.**

+- "nothing leaves your Mac"
 
-Never "no data leaves the device".
+The one favourable engine sentence — about the **hook and bridge only**, never
+"The Nook" — as corrected by [FRE-354] `(j)`: the hook and bridge **are not a cloud
+service**. Do not write "talk to nothing but your Mac" (too absolute: the
+`NOOK_PORTS` fan-out resolves `host.docker.internal` and the default gateway, and
+`defaultGateway()` opens a no-packet UDP socket to `8.8.8.8:80`), and do not narrow
+it to "over SSH" (a tailnet peer dials directly).
+
+It is verified as a code fact ([FRE-322] §2, [FRE-354] `(j)`), and it is still
+**held** until the disclosures land: Sentry gated behind a preference or removed,
+and `/privacy` + `/faq` corrected against the egress inventory (patch on branch
+`faq/from-objections-2026-10-29`, verified by [FRE-354]). A true sentence next to
+false ones is worse than no sentence.
 
 ### 4. Sell what works today
 
-Phone approvals are deferred until a shipped iOS app exists — no "(coming soon)"
-parentheticals. The launch story is remote SSH: agents running on other machines,
-visible and unblockable from the Mac's notch.
+An iPhone + Apple Watch companion **is** in users' hands as a TestFlight beta
+(`ios-v0.3.2`, 2026-10-22; [FRE-354] open question). That makes one thing true and
+one thing forbidden: say "TestFlight beta" when the phone exists in a sentence at
+all, and never claim approvals-from-phone as a shipped capability without its own
+CTO verdict — no "(coming soon)" parentheticals either way.
+
+Remote SSH is **held**, not approved: the one-click install has not
+been verified end to end ([FRE-315] §1) and the shipped path needs hand-edited
+`~/.ssh/config` and a one-time `ssh-copy-id` ([FRE-320]). Its copy stays parked in
