 用包含此功能的 Felis 安装器在 A 重跑安装：`FELIS_DISTRIBUTED=1`、`FELIS_NODE_EXTERNAL_IP=<A 固定公网 IP>`、`FELIS_PEER_CIDRS="$PEERS"`，保留现有安装参数。该步骤会启用 `wireguard-native`、`flannel-external-ip`、NodeRestriction 和独立 agent token，并安装归档服务、最小 RBAC 和宿主机隔离规则。WireGuard 更换需要停服维护窗口。已有 worker 的对等地址列表也必须提前更新。
 
+仅推送 main 不会自动发布 release。还未使用包含这些变更的发布资产时，在新版源码目录中以 root 执行下面的命令，显式从 main 构建；其他原安装参数继续保留。只更新安装脚本、仍使用默认 release 通道，可能下载到不支持分布式命令的旧二进制。

-One node is the whole supported shape. A world volume is a ReadWriteOnce claim on the
-node's local-path storage, so a game server's pod is pinned to the node that first

-as a single replica without leader election, so an upgrade or a node restart pauses
-wakes and stops until their pod is back. Joining k3s agents to the cluster is untested
-and gains no failover. A multi-node shape would need, at least, storage that can follow a
-pod to another node and leader election in felis-operator (controller-runtime's
-`LeaderElection`) so a second replica can stand by.
+Single-node deployment remains the default. The opt-in [distributed mode](distributed.md)
+keeps the sole API and operator on A and runs games on approved k3s agents. A world is
+a ReadWriteOnce claim on its node's local-path storage; moving it requires an explicit
+stopped migration through A's archive service. There is no automatic failover or
+standby controller. An A restart pauses control operations until its workloads return;
+a lost worker leaves its worlds on that node. Cross-node networking still requires the
+three-machine acceptance described in the distributed runbook.
