Voice, video, and screen share run on Paracord's native QUIC/WebTransport stack by default. LiveKit is an option, not a dependency. - Start without a configuration ceremony. First run writes the config, generates a JWT signing secret and SQLite database, and — for the standalone binary — issues a self-signed certificate.
