+**Settings to choose which server each feature uses.** Wanted 2026-08-21, **needed 2026-08-22** — the
+owner named it urgent and named the case: **ReClip, for saving videos.** Now that there are several
+servers, each functionality needs to be pointed at one deliberately, from Officer's settings, rather
+than always resolving to whatever is local.
+
+**The blocker is concrete and small.** `api/file-browser/router.ts:1271` reads
+
+```ts
+const RECLIP_BASE = process.env.RECLIP_URL ?? 'http://localhost:8899';
+```
+
+— a module-level constant, read once at import, from an environment variable. So every install can only
+ever reach its OWN ReClip, there is no way to say "download this on `omega`", and changing it means
+editing `.env` and restarting rather than a setting. Five hosts hold a platform checkout
+(`docs/servers.md`); three run it.
+
+The generalisation the owner asked for is the setting being **per feature**, not one global "which
+server am I". Different functions belong on different machines — the box with the disks is not the box
+with the GPU is not the box on the fast line — so this is a routing table, one row per capability.
+
+Worth knowing before designing it: the platform already has per-server registries for a plugin
+(Jellyfin keeps servers with write-only access tokens; offscale keeps a server picker), so there is a
+shape to copy rather than invent. And `docs/multi-server-push.md` is the same question arriving from the
+other direction — a payload that does not say which server sent it — so whatever names a server here
+should be the identifier that design settles on.
