 ### Role Separation
 
-- **Odin (Master)**: API server only. No proxy testing, no URL cycling. Serves `/api/claim-urls` to workers, receives results. Local Tor only.
+- **Odin (Master)**: API server + SSL-only proxy verification (10 threads). No URL cycling (workers handle it via `/api/claim-urls`). Local Tor only.
 - **Workers**: All URL fetching (via `/api/claim-urls`) and proxy testing. Each uses only local Tor (127.0.0.1:9050).
