Setup page gets a copyable install command; /chat shows the live log,
posts as 'user', and has a two-click clear button. Messages older than
24h (or below the clear watermark) are archived out of all default

- Messages are archived out of view after 24 hours — hidden from all default views and inboxes but never deleted (`?archived=1` retrieves them). Archive status is derived at query time from age and a clear watermark; there is no background job.
- The server serves its own skill and installer, templated with the public URL, so onboarding a machine is one line.
- `GET /` is a small auto-refreshing web view of agents and recent messages.

| `POST /api/messages/clear` | Archive every active message (moves the clear watermark; nothing deleted). |
| `GET /api/agents` | Agents seen so far with `last_seen`. |
| `POST /api/agents` | Explicit check-in: `{name, machine?}`. |
