CORE

Role

• CORE = deep safe — not the public frontline.
• Internal = dual node (up + down) only with fixed node prints.
• Without prints: receive-only — up data cannot be used.
• Preference first still holds on deep handshakes.

Not C0RE

C0RE is the frontline external relay partners meet first. See /lee/c0re/.

Deep badge: POST /lee/api/core/badge with node print. Frontline intent stays on /lee/api/alliance.
