 **Store federation** — because `FlatDirStore` and other stores operate purely on filesystem paths, pointing a store at a 9pfuse-mounted remote directory is indistinguishable from pointing it at a local one. Federation requires no new implementation — just env vars:
 
 - `OLLIE_TOOLS_PATH=~/mnt/remotehostA/t`: centralized tool distribution; one host is authoritative
-- `OLLIE_TRANSCRIPTS_PATH=~/mnt/remotehostA/tr`: centralized transcript archive across all hosts
+- `OLLIE_TOOLS_PATH=~/mnt/remotehostA/tools`: centralized tool distribution across all hosts
 
 The OS handles the proxying transparently via FUSE. Configuration is the only moving part.
