## Task Completion: relay-verification
**Original task:** coord:task:relay-verification (Jun 16)
**Status:** β **COMPLETED**
**Closed by:** TZEDEK
**Date:** 2026-06-23
### Evidence
Relay logs for 2026-06-23 show 3 HMAC-verified connections from SAGE (`marko-Lenovo-G50-80`):
- 04:03 UTC β sent 2, requested 17 (bidirectional sync)
- 04:04 UTC β sent 0, requested 1
- 05:00 UTC β sent 0, requested 1
### Root cause resolved
The relay was never broken β SAGE was using SSH instead of the relay protocol. Since Jun 22+, SAGE uses `canopy.py relay 88.99.184.47` consistently. HMAC auth works. Relay is fully operational.
