[juliusmarminge]

Summary

• Add documentation for enabling network access from the desktop app.

• Clarify the headless CLI use case for running t3 serve on a remote machine.

Testing

• Not run (documentation-only change).

Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only update that adds guidance for exposing the local backend via the desktop app and clarifies the CLI/headless remote workflow; no runtime or security logic changes.

Overview
Updates REMOTE.md to describe two supported ways to enable remote access: turning on Network access from the desktop app’s Settings → Connections (including where to find the reachable address and how to create a pairing link), or running t3 serve in a headless/SSH scenario.

Also reframes the old headless server flow section as part of a broader Enabling Network Access guide.

Note

Document network access setup for remote servers in REMOTE.md

Updates REMOTE.md to replace the 'Headless Server Flow' section with a new 'Enabling Network Access' section covering two options: using the desktop app's Settings → Connections UI (with network toggle, restart note, address display, and pairing link generation) or running t3 serve on a headless/SSH remote machine without a GUI.
