Context: Clone URL today = flag or origin remote. Owner wants the server to offer cloning itself, autogenerated.
Tasks:
1. New `--public-origin URL` + `HU13_PUBLIC_ORIGIN` (flag>env>unset). Serve serves /repo.bundle + /repo.tar.gz as static files (verify already reachable; add explicit test).
2. Clone block logic: if public-origin set → primary cmd `git clone <origin>/repo.bundle` (+ note "exact snapshot of <branch> @ <sha>") and secondary tarball link; origin remote shown as "mirror source" if present. If unset → bundle-first presentation as today + note "served from this server: ask the host for its address".
3. Entrypoint passes HU13_PUBLIC_ORIGIN. Demo deploy sets it to the tailscale URL.
4. `git clone http://host:port/repo.bundle` MUST actually work (git supports bundle-over-http) — supervisor verifies live with real git clone.
5. Tests: block asserts for both modes; serve test GETs /repo.bundle bytes == file.
Swarm: Owl. Branch `m6/clone-origin`.
