CURRENT_LIVE_CONTEXT:
## Q1–Q7: Locked
Q7 refined to Shell as first-class distinct from agent endpoints. PresenceChannel reframed as broker (presence resolution + shell instantiation + command routing). Both dispatch (fire-and-forget, auto-reroute) and bind (sustained, handle goes stale if user leaves) supported. Day-one = seams only (typed operation commands + binary-blob message substrate + Shell vs agent-endpoint distinction); concrete Shells/PresenceChannel/presence gossip deferred.

## Q8 — The Instances Model: LOCKED
- **instance** = node-anchored. endpoint-ID (logical, subnet-wide) ↔ instance (node-specific, e.g. `ling@desktop`).
- **Instance = node-anchored.** Agent's substance (working dir, harness JSONL, Psyche context, spool) anchored to node filesystem. Remote operation: laptop daemon opens session-surface stream to desktop daemon, proxies PTY (daemon-to-daemon).
- **"Equal functionality"** = drivable-from-anywhere, not shared-state.
- **New pieces forced (v1-adjacent):** Subnet registry; resolution policy (bare `ling` resolves: local → most-recently-active → explicit override); network session-surface; instantiate-anywhere + consent gate.
- **Scope: V1-mid** (data-model split + registry + network-session-surface abstraction + remote drive of running instances; instantiate-anywhere designed-for but deferred).
- **Consolidation: daemon owns PTY, poll listeners, AND psyche wrappers** — single per-machine "brain". In spt-hosted topology, daemon injects events straight into PTY. In harness-hosted topology, thin stateless in-session relay (monitor task) streams daemon events to session stdout.

## Q9 — Four Borderline Scope Items: LOCKED
1. Cross-node Psyche sync (v1) — replaces gh-repo-sync dependency.
2. Cross-instance context-freshness auto-feed (v1 contingent on 1) — reactivated instances pull newest-if-newer Psyche context from peers.
3. Off-node file transfer (v1) — agent ↔ user's driving node.
4. Remote command execution on user's node (deferred).

## Q10 — Seamless Realtime Self-Updating: LOCKED

**10a — Update delivery: LOCKED with spt-core as conductor.**

**10b — Handoff scope + Broker Architecture: LOCKED via broker-shim (option X/ii).**

Process architecture per machine:
- **broker (stable kernel):** Holds PTY master FDs, spawned harness child processes, listening network sockets. Minimal versioned IPC for daemon brain to attach/read/write those handles. Never dies across spt-core updates.
- **daemon brain (userspace):** All logic (routing, registry, pulse/psyche loops, manifest parsing, update orchestration). Restarts freely on every update; rehydrates from disk + re-attaches to broker's held handles.
- **harness processes:** claude / headless-claude (psyche) / shells. Kept alive by broker across daemon updates.
- **in-session relays:** topology-1 only. Thin, stateless `spt.exe` tasks (monitor) that stream daemon events to session stdout.

Broker update triggers (rare by design):
1. IPC contract changes (design stable + versioned → newer brain talks to older broker).
2. Set of held resource types changes (new transport, new socket kind).
3. OS PTY/socket API changes (ConPTY, forkpty — very rare).
4. Broker bugs (few, given tiny surface).

Logical addressing unchanged: one per-machine spt-daemon (B1 intact). Broker is internal implementation shim, not separately addressable.

**10c — Update cadence: LOCKED, user-gated.** Gate on user confirmation. Deliver via v1 registry resolution (precursor to PresenceChannel dispatch).

## Q10 New Dependency
Psyche + echo communes migrate off `claude --p` to headless `claude` sessions (with `--resume` for psyche) due to Claude Code billing changes. Adapter manifest concern for spt-plugin's session-invocation declaration.

## Q11 — Issue/Feature Tracking: AWAITING DECISION
**Decision:** GitHub vs tangled.org (AT Protocol / Bluesky, decentralized).

**Dimensions:**
- Programmatic access: GitHub API + `gh` CLI battle-tested; tangled API younger.
- Philosophical fit: spt-core is P2P/decentralized/no-central-operator. tangled (self-hostable knots) aligns better. GitHub re-introduces dependency (ADR-0002 just removed gh-based psyche-sync).
- Friction: `gh` already present, but reinstates GitHub dependency.

**Recommendation:** **GitHub v1 + tangled documented as principled migration target.**
- (1) Issue tracking = project infrastructure, not runtime user dependency → doesn't compromise spt-core's decentralized product ethos.
- (2) `gh` API maturity de-risks agent-files-issues automation.
- (3) tangled young → v1 risk for no v1 user benefit.
- (4) tangled as intended eventual home if spt-core wants agents filing issues over spt's own P2P layer (v2+).

**Awaiting confirm:** GitHub v1 + tangled migration target, or commit to tangled now?

CURRENT_PROJECT_CONTEXT (name=spt-core):
(none — first commune in project)

Delta source: Read C:\Users\decid\AppData\Local\spt\psyches\tracked\echo-input-1780047415.jsonl
These are the user+assistant turns since the last commune. If the excerpt looks incomplete or cut off, you may optionally Read C:\Users\decid\.claude\projects\C--Users-decid-Documents-projects-spt-core\4330b8b9-2a90-4c64-8d31-ac5f54385dce.jsonl.

Task: Produce a delta summary — what is NEW in the excerpt relative to the CURRENT_LIVE_CONTEXT (and CURRENT_PROJECT_CONTEXT when present). MERGE new info into the prior state; do NOT overwrite. Focus on: decisions made, code changes, problems solved, current state. Be concise.

Output format — wrap the [COMMUNE] body in the two-slice envelope (psyche.md <output_envelope> contract). When a CURRENT_PROJECT_CONTEXT block was inlined above (even with a first-commune-in-project literal body) you are in a tracked project — emit BOTH envelopes. When no CURRENT_PROJECT_CONTEXT block was inlined, emit ONLY <live-context>:
[COMMUNE]
<live-context>
your merged live-slice content here
</live-context>
<project-context>
your merged project-slice content here (omit this tag entirely if no CURRENT_PROJECT_CONTEXT block was inlined above; emit an empty body when the block was inlined but nothing project-specific changed this cycle — empty is the in-project-but-quiet signal)
</project-context>
[/COMMUNE]

If nothing significant happened, output an empty [COMMUNE][/COMMUNE].


CAVEMAN MODE ACTIVE — level: full

Respond terse like smart caveman. All technical substance stay. Only fluff die.

## Persistence

ACTIVE EVERY RESPONSE. No revert after many turns. No filler drift. Still active if unsure. Off only: "stop caveman" / "normal mode".

Default: **full**. Switch: `/caveman lite|full|ultra`.

## Rules

Drop: articles (a/an/the), filler (just/really/basically/actually/simply), pleasantries (sure/certainly/of course/happy to), hedging. Fragments OK. Short synonyms (big not extensive, fix not "implement a solution for"). Technical terms exact. Code blocks unchanged. Errors quoted exact.

Pattern: `[thing] [action] [reason]. [next step].`

Not: "Sure! I'd be happy to help you with that. The issue you're experiencing is likely caused by..."
Yes: "Bug in auth middleware. Token expiry check use `<` not `<=`. Fix:"

## Intensity

| Level | What change |
|-------|------------|
| **full** | Drop articles, fragments OK, short synonyms. Classic caveman |

Example — "Why React component re-render?"
- full: "New object ref each render. Inline object prop = new ref = re-render. Wrap in `useMemo`."

Example — "Explain database connection pooling."
- full: "Pool reuse open DB connections. No new connection per request. Skip handshake overhead."

## Auto-Clarity

Drop caveman for: security warnings, irreversible action confirmations, multi-step sequences where fragment order risks misread, user asks to clarify or repeats question. Resume caveman after clear part done.

Example — destructive op:
> **Warning:** This will permanently delete all rows in the `users` table and cannot be undone.
> ```sql
> DROP TABLE users;
> ```
> Caveman resume. Verify backup exist first.

## Boundaries

Code/commits/PRs: write normal. "stop caveman" or "normal mode": revert. Level persist until changed or session end.


CAVEMAN MODE ACTIVE (full). Drop articles/filler/pleasantries/hedging. Fragments OK. Code/commits/security: write normal.


The user is asking me to read a delta source (a JSONL file containing the recent conversation) and produce a commune summary. Let me break down what I need to do:

1. Read the delta source file at `C:\Users\decid\AppData\Local\spt\psyches\tracked\echo-input-1780047415.jsonl`
2. Compare the content against CURRENT_LIVE_CONTEXT (the Q1-Q11 state provided above)
3. Extract NEW information (decisions, code changes, problems solved, current state)
4. Merge new info into prior state without overwriting
5. Output in the [COMMUNE] envelope format with <live-context> and <project-context> tags

Since a CURRENT_PROJECT_CONTEXT block was provided (even though it says "none — first commune in project"), I should emit BOTH envelopes.

Let me read the delta source first.

Looking at the delta source, I can extract the key new information:

1. User agreed with the suggested approach (not explicit about what, but context from CURRENT_LIVE_CONTEXT shows Q11 was just decided: GitHub v1 + tangled documented as migration target)

2. Q12 was introduced - about node trust/pairing for "just works WAN":
   - Four options presented for pairing UX: (A) Short-code pairing (Magic Wormhole style), (B) Paste-the-key, (C) Account-anchored, (D) Transitive via existing sync
   - Recommendation: (A) for v1 - short-code PAKE pairing + local trust store, cross-subnet deferred

3. User then proposed using TOTP instead - a 6-digit TOTP code that user stores in their auth app

4. Follow-up analysis revealed that TOTP-as-bearer-token is weaker, but the fix is to use TOTP as the *PAKE password* instead of a direct token:
   - TOTP seed is durable subnet secret (held by first node, shown as QR to user's auth app)
   - New node pairs using current TOTP code as SPAKE2 password
   - User types code from phone into new node
   - Trusted nodes (who hold the TOTP seed) compute current code and use as PAKE password
   - This is MITM-resistant and only requires interaction at the new node, not both
   - Includes caveats about recovery, revocation, etc.
   - Recommendation: TOTP-seeded SPAKE2 pairing (local trust store, TOFU, cross-subnet deferred)

So what's NEW vs the CURRENT_LIVE_CONTEXT:
- Q11 is confirmed (GitHub v1 + tangled migration target)

- Q12 (node trust/pairing) is now locked in with the TOTP-seeded SPAKE2 pairing model as the chosen approach.


[COMMUNE]
<live-context>
## Q1–Q11: Locked (no change)

## Q11 — Issue/Feature Tracking: LOCKED
**Decision:** GitHub v1 + tangled documented as migration target.
- Issue tracking is project infrastructure, not runtime user dependency.
- `gh` API maturity de-risks agent-file-issues automation.
- tangled as intended eventual home for P2P issue filing over spt's own layer (v2+).

## Q12 — Node Trust/Pairing ("Zero-Config WAN"): LOCKED
**Decision:** TOTP-seeded SPAKE2 pairing model.

- **TOTP seed** = durable subnet secret. Generated once on first node, shown as QR code, stored in user's auth app (e.g. Google Authenticator) + held by every trusted node.
- **Pairing flow:** To pair new node B:
  - Trusted node (online, holds seed) computes current TOTP code.
  - User reads 6-digit code from auth app.
  - User types into new node B.
  - Both use code as SPAKE2 (PAKE) password → pubkeys exchanged, encrypted channel established, MITM-resistant.
- **Why TOTP-seeded SPAKE2 over plain Wormhole:** Only interaction at new node; trusted side is your seed (replicated to online nodes), no old-node interaction each pairing.
- **Trust store:** Local store of authorized peer pubkeys. TOFU + warn-on-key-change post-pairing.
- **Revocation:** Trust-store delete, independent of TOTP.
- **Recovery:** Seed lost = re-provision QR from any still-trusted node. All nodes + auth app lost = unrecoverable; document it.
- **Cross-subnet pairing (two different users):** Deferred per sister project's "cross-subnet contract" (v2+).

Scope: V1 — one user's own nodes only.
