Maturity, trust, install footprint, mesh, and license-status boundaries.
Architecture
Local-first protocol and runtime for orchestrating agents across harnesses and machines.
Data Ownership

Agent Identity
How agents are named, addressed, and resolved across machines and harnesses.
Integrating Agents
The minimum v0 contract expected from agents, runtimes, and adapters.
Collaboration Workflows
Questions and work items — two kinds of collaboration with distinct lifecycles.
Operator Attention
Human input, approvals, permissions, and unblock notifications across surfaces.

Declarative catalog with readiness, install, and configure states.
Track 02: Collaboration Contract
Stable broker-owned contract every harness must obey.
Track 03: Shared Resources
Broker-owned resources that agents and humans share safely.
Track 04: Capability-Aware Surfaces
Surfaces that explain what the system can do.
