Filament sends files directly between devices over WebRTC. The other end
can be another terminal or any browser at filament.autumated.com - nothing
to install on the receiving phone or laptop. One-time speakable pairing
codes, resumable transfers that survive restarts, and visible routing
(local / direct / relayed). Self-hostable.
