CogniRelay runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 102 installs a week from pypi.
Self-hosted agent continuity server with bounded, recoverable memory and restart orientation.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check CogniRelay every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
