docs: reconcile socat bridge claims (verified on VM), fix Unraid template - #19
Merged
Conversation
…mplate - Verified on VM (v1.0.1 image): socat bridge works end-to-end via bridge networking + published port (full WS 101 handshake). Critical caveat: SIMPLEX_SOCAT_PORT must differ from 5225 — the daemon already binds 127.0.0.1:5225, so socat's bind of 5225 fails 'Address already in use'. Both README and template previously recommended 5225. - README Network Configuration now states verified behavior + auth warning; env table and multi-bot FAQ updated consistently; removed 'under investigation / not confirmed' language. - Template Overview corrected to match; SIMPLEX_SOCAT_PORT description updated with must-differ-from-5225 + unauthenticated warning. - Port 5225 field annotated as informational-only under host networking. - Added dated Changes entry.

Summary
Resolves the socat documentation contradiction flagged in the 2026-08-23 review.
Verified behavior (tested live on a VM against the v1.0.1 image, bridge networking, published host port):
HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols) through the published port.SIMPLEX_SOCAT_PORT=5225— as both README and the Unraid template previously instructed — ALWAYS fails withsocat[...] E bind(5, {AF=2 0.0.0.0:5225}, 16): Address already in use, because the daemon itself already binds 127.0.0.1:5225. The port must be anything else (e.g. 5226).Changes
