Automatic mode
Place GMRelay beside PrMers. A nickname is enough on first launch; the client creates its API key, obtains assignments and submits JSON results automatically.

How work progresses
- GPU trial factoring first checks q=4kp+1 and classifies GM/GQ together.
- Fast P-1 bounds then screen each surviving GM exponent.
- Optional deep Stage 1 campaigns scan older exponents with B2 equal to B1.
- Deeper P-1 tiers are created only after a no-factor result.
- ECM campaigns then use distinct deterministic curves.
- PRP requires independent confirmation before an exact Proth proof.
- A verified factor immediately stops the remaining pipeline for that exponent.
