Handoff

Handoff lets a Windows user share a diagnostic session with a helper without opening firewall ports, installing software on both sides, or handing over credentials.

Host
  runs `handoff new`
  shares the printed view URL

Helper (operator)
  opens the view URL in a browser
  queues diagnostic commands

Host
  console shows each command and result
  presses Ctrl+C to end

The view URL is the only shared secret. It is single-use per session; once the host ends the session the token is gone.
