Sterister 680d6386f3 release(v4.8.1): SHADE_DISABLE_RATE_LIMIT env var for single-tenant deploys
Plumbing fix only — both createPrekeyRoutes and createInboxRoutes
already accepted disableRateLimit; standalone.ts just didn't read
the env. Now SHADE_DISABLE_RATE_LIMIT=1 turns off IP rate-limits on
every prekey + inbox route, with a WARN log on startup so operators
see it.

Single-tenant deployments only — multi-tenant relays must leave it
unset. Documented in docs/DEPLOYMENT.md.

Reported by Prism: ~6 pair attempts/hour from a single dev IP +
the sidecar's register call tripped the 5/hour REGISTER_LIMIT every
dev iteration.

@shade/transport-bridge

Transport-agnostic delivery for Shade: WS → SSE → long-poll, in priority order, behind a single IncomingMessage interface.

import {
  FallbackBridgeTransport,
  WsBridge,
  SseBridge,
  LongPollBridge,
} from '@shade/transport-bridge';

const auth = { crypto, signingPrivateKey, address: 'bob' };

const bridge = new FallbackBridgeTransport([
  new WsBridge({       baseUrl, auth }),
  new SseBridge({      baseUrl, auth }),
  new LongPollBridge({ baseUrl, auth }),
]);

await bridge.connect({
  onMessage: (msg) => {
    // msg: { from: string; bytes: Uint8Array; receivedAt: number; msgId?: string }
  },
});

console.log(bridge.activeKind); // "ws" | "sse" | "long-poll"

Pair with createBridgeRoutes in @shade/inbox-server to expose the matching /v1/bridge/{stream,poll,ws} endpoints. Full design + threat model in docs/transport.md.

What it solves

Browser extensions, strict corporate proxies, and edge runtimes routinely block long-lived WebSockets. Apps that already use the Shade inbox shouldn't have to write three custom delivery paths to handle the realistic mix of hostile networks they ship into. This package is the canonical answer.

Status

V3.7. Stable wire format, additive change to @shade/inbox-server. See CHANGELOG.
