HTTP relay service for forwarding encrypted grants during Pubky authentication flows.

In the Pubky Auth flow, a third-party app needs to receive a grant from the user’s authenticator (Pubky Ring). The relay solves this by providing a temporary rendezvous point where encrypted grants can be deposited and retrieved.

The relay handles message delivery; the clients handle grant encryption. It does not store your app’s files or replace a Homeserver. The authentication overview shows where it fits in the grant exchange.

Use the Pubky SDK for app authentication integration. For the relay’s API, configuration, and operation, see the HTTP Relay README; its interactive demo illustrates message delivery.
