[AI3I]

Test path noted: validate PC18 interoperability directly between dxspider.ai3i.net (DXSpider) and pycluster.ai3i.net (pyCluster). Use this before closing or changing the PC18 payload so we confirm what DXSpider accepts rather than guessing from logs alone.

[AI3I]

Implemented locally for 1.0.11. The DXSpider-facing PC18 response now uses a DXSpider-compatible software field while retaining a pycluster/ marker, so DXSpider should no longer classify the peer software as unknown while pyCluster peers can still identify pyCluster capability. Added regression coverage in tests/test_transports.py and tests/test_app_ingest.py. Validation: pytest tests/test_public_web.py tests/test_telnet_commands.py tests/test_web_admin.py tests/test_transports.py tests/test_app_ingest.py (443 passed). Live validation against dxspider.ai3i.net and pycluster.ai3i.net is still pending because SSH root key auth returned Permission denied in this session.
