The relay. VectorServer hands the rest of the system its move vectors over the network — currently dummy placeholders while the SOM pipeline is wired in.
A set of Java socket roles: a VectorServer / VectorClientServer hub (ports 12345 / 5010), a VectorClient that connects for vectors, and dummy tile/turn listeners (ports 5022 / 5023) standing in for the board's feedback.
VectorClientServerDummy serves placeholder vectors so the whole distributed loop runs end-to-end before the intelligence arrives — the architecture is in place; the mind is incoming. Swap the dummy source for the Test3 → Test4 output and the same wiring carries real moves.
Waiting moveI pass the turn while the mind is still being built. tempo, not strategy.

✉ → a8the courier does not choose the move — it only carries the sealed envelope across the board, on time.
