+- **Carrier note (orchestrator, 2026-10-24):** a plain browser CANNOT observe this leg —
+  with no initData the boot stops at the session wall (denied card) before the destination
+  reader runs. Verified live 2026-10-24: `?dest=not-a-real-place` in desktop Chrome →
+  the denied card (`leg5-browser-sessionwall.png`). That is correct off-Telegram behavior,
+  NOT this leg's verdict.
+- **On-device procedure:** in ANY chat, send yourself the deep link
+  `https://t.me/arah2bot?startapp=not-a-real-place` and tap it — Telegram opens the Mini
+  App with `start_param=not-a-real-place` (the secondary carrier), the session validates,
+  and the reader must show the honest surface.
