+Both machines are on the same tailnet, so the agent can usually reach the other

## How the sync actually happens

When the change is the one-time kind, say so explicitly: name the manual step

+## Reaching the other machine over tailscale

+`tailscale status` lists every node with its tailscale IP and online state.
+Connect by tailscale IP (e.g. `100.71.182.1`) or MagicDNS name (e.g.
+`ratio.tailf3bb8c.ts.net`) — both always resolve and connect. A bare hostname
+(`ssh ratio`) works only when MagicDNS is configured on the local machine;
+without it the bare name can fail to resolve, which makes the box look
+unreachable when it isn't. Prefer the IP or the full MagicDNS name when in
+doubt. The first connection from a new address fails host-key verification under
+`BatchMode`; add `-o StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new` to clear it.

## Knowing which machine you're on
`uname -n` returns the hostname (`ratio` or `velox`). Use it when a reminder is
machine-specific ("on ratio, you still need to …") so the note is actionable
