 The MVP is intentionally manual. It does not include an installer, GUI,
 production certificates, auth, or end-to-end payload encryption.
 
+## Fast Path
+
+Run the test in this order:
+
+1. Build the relay and gateway on Linux, and build the Windows client on
+   Windows.
+2. Start the relay and keep `relay-cert.der`.
+3. Copy `relay-cert.der` to the gateway and Windows client.
+4. Start the Linux gateway on the wired LAN interface.
+5. Start the Windows client from an elevated terminal.
+6. Verify DHCP, `ping -S`, switch MAC learning, and one LAN game.
+7. Restart the gateway once while the client stays up.

 The gateway usually needs root because it opens an AF_PACKET raw socket.
