A fresh client sends the directory the search the app sends, and must find ci_group and ci_channel; then "ci seed" and "ci avatar" are followed page by page into seed.md, with each page's entries and size against maxServiceBodyLength. The message search stays. The seeded entries name the cases they serve again.
A client started with -s gives that server every role, names included, only to the users that exist when it starts, so the name probe's first connect plan on a new database failed with NO_NAME_SERVERS (run 38904976359). The user is now created by a plain run first, as every other peer is and as desktop's backend does.
