I might be misinterpreting what you say.

I don't know what a client does, that a relay does not do, because I
don't know the protocol well enough. (How does a relay extend the circuit?)

For example clients and bridges can be told apart, because sometimes
bridges do things different than clients. (This is going to be resolved
where ever possible).

You probably have to wait for an answer...
