## Title

    [Jenkins inbound agent] '<url> is not Jenkins' — TCP inbound agent port disabled on the controller or reverse proxy strips X-Jenkins-JNLP-Port headers

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): The resolver treats a missing JNLP port header as 'not Jenkins'; that happens when the TCP agent listener is disabled (so there is no port to advertise) or an intermediary removes the headers or serves another app at that path.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Limitations:
    - Source-derived; not reproduced.
    - Mapping 'listener disabled -> header missing' is inferred from the resolver logic, not stated in a doc.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jenkinsci/remoting/3a33a3a6ad5fd8cb6fb69dfc8c02d788a2d1eeb9/src/main/java/org/jenkinsci/remoting/engine/JnlpAgentEndpointResolver.java (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): portStr from X-Jenkins-JNLP-Port or X-Hudson-JNLP-Port; if null -> IOException(jenkinsUrl + ' is not Jenkins').
    
    Search phrasings: jenkins agent is not Jenkins error; X-Jenkins-JNLP-Port missing reverse proxy agent; jenkins tcp agent listener disabled inbound agent
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
