Env vars and secrets

MY_ROLEEnv var
Label for this instance, e.g. backend or frontend. Appears in message tags so the other side knows who is talking.
REMOTE_HOSTEnv var
Address of the other machine as host:port. A Tailscale address is recommended over a public one.
INTERCOM_SECRETEnv varSecret
Shared secret authenticating messages between the two instances. Must match on both sides. There is no default: without it the intercom starts unpaired, binds no port, and refuses to send.
