- interface: cli
- limits:

- binding note: A paused deployment fails before any quota applies.
- interface detail: malai http 3000 --public, or malai http-bridge to run a bridge.
- tooling: malai CLI; self-hostable http-bridge.
- composes with: Would have shared a free VM's HTTP port over iroh; nothing to chain while the bridge is paused.
- reliability: Hosted bridge is paused; a user is open source and self-hostable, which is the fallback.
- notes: The pattern, an iroh relay plus a community bridge, recurs in several 2025-2026 launches and the bridge is the part that dies. Historical citation moved out of evidence because it no longer proves the present claim: 'Launch: share a dev server over P2P on the iroh stack, no signup, public bridge at kulfi.site.' (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43844500, 2025-04-30).
- evidence note: A later read of malai.sh would show whether it returned; the pause notice is the current state.
- extras:
  - wg_path: none
  - wg_detail: It carried HTTP and, from 0.2.5, TCP. No UDP path was announced, and the hosted bridge is down.
  - ingress: none
  - volume_stated: Nothing is served: malai.sh answers with This deployment is temporarily paused.
  - bytes_transit: overlay-only
  - transit_note: iroh relay and direct P2P; no relay is currently operated by the project.

  - [1] 2026-10-23: the page returns upstream status 402 with the title 'Deployment Paused', which confirms the service is not running
