The port-taken message on the last run ("Port 8093 was taken — the relay
will use 8094") was this service colliding with itself, not a real
conflict. Fresh-install never stopped the previous run before scanning
for a free port, so it always found its own earlier process still bound
to 8093, silently moved to 8094, and then `systemctl enable --now` was a
no-op against an already-active unit -- meaning the OLD process (holding
the OLD AMI secret and OLD relay token, from before this session's
settings.env fix) kept serving traffic while the freshly-written config
and port sat unused underneath it.
Fix: `systemctl stop sms-inbound` right before the port scan. Now the
scan only reports a real conflict from something else, and the box
should settle back on 8093 (or whatever's actually free) with the
process that's really running matching what was just configured.
