The quick-start says a device started in D2D mode is discovered "instantly, no URLs needed." That relies on Zenoh UDP multicast scouting, which on macOS (loopback) does not reliably connect two local processes — discover(...) returns empty and invoke(...) reports no responders.

This adds a collapsed <details> note in step 3 documenting the explicit TCP-link fallback (ZENOH_LISTEN on the device, ZENOH_CONNECT on the agent), so the happy path stays uncluttered while users who hit the issue have an answer.

Verified locally on macOS: with the TCP link the agent discovers the device and invoke returns the reading.
