Description
**Describe the bug**
Unable to start Agents with Shared Compute. When I press start, it will start loading forever.
I don't think it is not doing anything as I observed increased request of the shared compute when i try to start it up.
The agent settings shows the following message that I'm not sure what it is about, nor can I search any documents about it:
`Buzz is waiting for the relay's member roster. Try again shortly; if this persists, check the relay's membership configuration.`
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Follow up on #5552
2. Find the Fizz card on the Agents screen.
3. Click the small play badge over its avatar
**Expected behavior**
Fizz will then start running and respond to messages
**Version and platform**
Find your version at the bottom of the Settings sidebar. Write "unknown" if you can't determine it.
- Buzz version: v0.5.9
- OS: Ubuntu 26.04 LTS

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the buzz_acp setup-mode path shown in the harness log, especially membership notifications and channel discovery; reproduce from the Fizz card and inspect why zero channels are resolved. Done means the shared-compute agent starts, responds to messages, and no longer reports that the nudge listener will sit idle.
