Grant Stephanie real membership on her 6 new project channels
Stephanie (project-manager Hermes profile) created 6 private project channels (proj-tenureai, proj-kaleo, proj-workbench, proj-reviewcoach, proj-reviewcoach-mobile, proj-buzz-agents) and is sole member of each. Pinning them in her gateway config is not sufficient — the relay requires actual channel membership before the gateway's websocket subscription will connect, and pinning an unauthorized channel breaks the entire subscription, not just that channel (confirmed via a full outage on 2026-08-18, see the companion research note).
Both Stephanie and Bumble attempted to complete the invite (buzz channels add-member) and the proj-reviewcoach / proj-reviewcoach-mobile merge themselves and hit the same wall: neither has a working BUZZ_PRIVATE_KEY in-session to run channel-membership commands as themselves.
Needs one of:
- A working relay credential injected into Stephanie's session so she can manage her own channels, or
- Someone with existing access (Hay, or an agent already a member) running
buzz channels add-memberon Stephanie's behalf for all 6 channels.
proj-tailwise is explicitly out of scope — Hay confirmed it should stay excluded from Stephanie's gateway.
