`chat-overlay` serves the chat overlay application and wires the Go backend to the browser-based chat UI. The package is published from the `go-go-golems/react-chat` repository, while the Go module and public docs package name are `chat-overlay`.

Use the command help to inspect the currently available server flags:

```bash
chat-overlay --help
```
