G# Configuration — organism.yaml (v2.1) **AgentServer v2.1 — Organism Configuration**
This file is the canonical reference for `organism.yaml` format in v2.1.
The old `configuration.md` is hereby obsolete and superseded.
The entire organism is declared in a single YAML file (default: `config/organism.yaml`). The entire organism is declared in a single YAML file (default: `config/organism.yaml`).
Loaded at bootstrap — single source of truth for initial composition. It is the single source of truth for initial composition, loaded at bootstrap.
Runtime changes (hot-reload) via local OOB privileged commands. Runtime structural changes (add/remove/replace listeners) are performed exclusively via privileged OOB commands (hot-reload).

**AgentServer v2.1 — Message Pump & Pipeline Architecture**
# Message Pump Architecture v2.1 This document is the canonical specification for the AgentServer message pump in v2.1.
**January 06, 2026** The previous version dated January 06, 2026 is hereby superseded.
**AgentServer: Pipeline-per-Listener + Dispatcher Pattern** All implementation must conform to this architecture.
This document is the canonical specification for the AgentServer message pump. All implementation must conform to this architecture.
--- ---
## Core Pattern: Dictionary of Pipelines → Message Pump → Dispatcher ### Core Model
The message pump implements a three-stage architecture: - **Pipeline-per-listener** — each registered listener owns one dedicated preprocessing pipeline.
- **Permanent system pipeline** — always exists at bootstrap, even with zero user listeners.
1. **Pipeline Stage**: Parallel preprocessing pipelines (one per registered listener) that sanitize, validate, and prepare messages - **Configurable ordered steps** — each pipeline is an ordered list of async coroutine functions that transform a universal `MessageState`.
2. **Message Pump**: Async event loop that orchestrates concurrent message processing, manages scheduling and backpressure - **Routing resolution inside pipeline** — routing is just another step; the dispatcher receives fully routed messages.
3. **Dispatcher**: Simple async function that delivers messages to handlers and awaits responses - **Dumb dispatcher** — only awaits handler(s) and processes responses.
- **Hard-coded multi-payload extraction** — handler responses are specially processed outside normal pipelines to support 1..n emitted payloads.
```
Raw Message Ingress

Pipeline Lookup & Assignment

[Pipeline 1] [Pipeline 2] [Pipeline N] (parallel preprocessing)

Pipeline Output Queues (processed messages ready for dispatch)

Message Pump Event Loop
- Gathers ready messages
- Launches concurrent dispatcher(msg, handler) invocations
- Manages concurrency/scheduling/backpressure
↓
[dispatcher()] [dispatcher()] [dispatcher()] (concurrent, async)
↓ ↓ ↓
Handler Execution → await Response
↓
Message Pump Response Processing
- Extract multi-payloads (dummy wrap → parse → extract)
- Create envelopes with <from> injection
- Re-inject to appropriate pipelines
↓
Pipeline Re-injection (cycle continues)
```
--- ---
## Pipeline Architecture ### Universal Intermediate Representation: MessageState
### Pipeline Registration
At boot (or hot-reload), each listener registration creates:
- Dedicated preprocessing pipeline instance
- Entry in routing table: `Dict[root_tag, Dict[listener_name, Pipeline]]`
- Cached XSD schema (derived from `@xmlify` dataclass)
- Example XML and tool description fragments
**Example Registration**:
```python ```python
@xmlify
@dataclass @dataclass
class CalculatorAdd: class MessageState:
"""Add two numbers and return the sum.""" raw_bytes: bytes | None = None # Initial ingress or extracted payload bytes
a: float envelope_tree: Element | None = None # Full <message> envelope after repair/C14N
b: float payload_tree: Element | None = None # Extracted payload element
payload: Any | None = None # Deserialized @xmlify dataclass instance
# Creates: thread_id: str | None = None # Opaque UUID inherited/carried
# - Pipeline instance for "calculator/add" from_id: str | None = None # Registered name of sender (trustworthy)
# - XSD cached at schemas/calculator/add/v1.xsd target_listeners: list[Listener] | None = None # Resolved by routing step
# - Routing entry: pipelines["add"]["calculator"] = pipeline_instance error: str | None = None # Diagnostic message if step fails
metadata: dict[str, Any] = field(default_factory=dict) # Extension point
``` ```
### Pipeline Structure Every pipeline step receives and returns a `MessageState`.
Each pipeline is identical in structure but operates on messages bound for its specific listener. A pipeline consists of an ordered array of processing tasks:
**Standard Task Sequence**:
1. **Repair**: Fix malformed XML (lxml recovery mode)
2. **Canonicalization (C14N)**: Normalize whitespace, attributes, namespaces
3. **Envelope Validation**: Verify against `envelope.xsd`
4. **Payload Extraction**: Extract payload from `<message>` wrapper
5. **XSD Validation**: Validate payload against listener's cached schema
6. **Deserialization**: Convert XML to typed `@dataclass` instance via `xmlable.from_xml`
7. **Error Injection**: On failure, inject `<huh>` error tag instead of discarding
**Error Handling Philosophy**:
- Early pipelines (repair, C14N): May discard truly corrupt messages
- Later stages (validation): Inject `<huh>error description</huh>` into response
- LLMs see their errors and can self-correct
- Prevents silent failures while maintaining flow
### System Pipeline
A special system pipeline handles messages not bound for user listeners:
- Processes `<boot/>` messages (startup trigger for human/keyboard listeners)
- Handles system-generated error responses
- Uses same task sequence but no XSD validation step
--- ---
## Dispatcher Architecture ### Default Listener Pipeline Steps (in order)
### Dispatcher Responsibilities
The dispatcher is a **simple async function** that delivers a message to a handler and awaits the response:
```python ```python
async def dispatcher(msg, handler): default_listener_steps = [
"""Thin async routing layer - delivers message and awaits response""" repair_step, # raw_bytes → envelope_tree (lxml recovery)
response = await handler(msg) c14n_step, # normalize envelope_tree
return response envelope_validation_step, # validate against envelope.xsd
payload_extraction_step, # set payload_tree
xsd_validation_step, # validate against listener's cached XSD
deserialization_step, # set payload (dataclass instance)
routing_resolution_step, # set target_listeners based on root tag
]
``` ```
**Critical Property**: The dispatcher itself has no loop, no queue management, no concurrency control. It's a pure async delivery mechanism. All orchestration happens in the message pump. Each step is an `async def step(state: MessageState) -> MessageState`.
### Routing Logic
**Lookup Key**: `(root_tag, listener_name)` from pipeline's registered listener
**Delivery Rules**:
- **`<to/>` present**: Direct delivery to specific listener at `root_tag/listener_name`
- **`<to/>` absent**: Broadcast to ALL listeners registered for `root_tag`
**Broadcast Semantics**:
- All handlers for a given root tag execute concurrently (via concurrent task launch).
- Responses are processed progressively as each handler completes (streaming/as-completed semantics).
- Each response is fully handled independently (multi-payload extraction, enveloping, re-injection).
- Responses bubble up in completion order (nondeterministic); no waiting for the full group.
- Ideal for racing parallel tools; agents handle any needed synchronization.
**Example**: Message with root tag `<search>` and no `<to/>`:
```
Pump sees: root_tag="search", to=None
Lookup: pipelines["search"] → {"google": pipeline_1, "bing": pipeline_2}
Execute:
- Launch concurrent dispatchers for all handlers
- Monitor tasks via asyncio.as_completed
- As each completes: extract payloads, envelope, re-inject immediately
- No batch wait—fast responses bubble first
```
--- ---
## Message Pump Event Loop ### System Pipeline (fixed, shorter steps)
The message pump is the orchestration layer that manages concurrency, scheduling, and message flow:
```python ```python
async def message_pump(): system_steps = [
"""Main event loop - orchestrates concurrent message processing""" repair_step,
while True: c14n_step,
# Gather all ready messages from pipeline outputs envelope_validation_step,
ready_messages = await gather_ready_messages_from_pipelines() payload_extraction_step,
system_routing_and_handler_step, # handles unknown roots, meta, leaked privileged, boot, emits <huh> or system messages
# For each message, lookup handler(s) and launch dispatcher(s) ]
tasks = []
for msg in ready_messages:
handlers = lookup_handlers(msg) # may return multiple for broadcast
for handler in handlers:
task = asyncio.create_task(dispatcher(msg, handler))
tasks.append(task)
# Process responses as they complete (streaming)
for completed_task in asyncio.as_completed(tasks):
response = await completed_task
# Extract multi-payloads (dummy wrap → parse → extract)
payloads = extract_payloads(response)
# Wrap each in envelope, inject <from>, re-route to pipelines
for payload in payloads:
enveloped = create_envelope(payload, response.context)
await send_to_pipeline(enveloped)
``` ```
**Key Responsibilities**: The system pipeline is instantiated at organism bootstrap and never removed.
1. **Concurrency Control**: Decides how many dispatchers to launch simultaneously
2. **Fair Scheduling**: Can implement priority queues, round-robin, or other fairness policies
3. **Backpressure**: Monitors pipeline queue depths, throttles if needed
4. **Response Handling**: Extracts multi-payloads and re-injects each response as soon as its handler completes (progressive streaming for broadcasts)
**Concurrency Model**: Unbounded concurrent dispatchers; responses stream independently. Future enhancements include per-listener semaphores, global limits, and token-rate throttling.
--- ---
## Message Flow Example: Complete Cycle (Broadcast <search>) ### Pipeline Execution (shared by all pipelines)
1. **Ingress**: External `<message><thread>root</thread><search query="weather today"/></message>`
2. **Pipeline Assignment**: Root tag "search" → multiple pipelines (google, bing)
3. **Pipeline Processing** (parallel per listener): Repair/C14N/validation/deserialization
4. **Message Pump**: Gathers ready messages, launches concurrent dispatchers
5. **Concurrent Handler Execution**:
- google_handler completes first (500ms): `<search-result>Sunny, 72°F</search-result>` → processed/bubbled immediately
- bing_handler completes second (700ms): `<search-result>Clear skies, 70°F</search-result>` → processed/bubbled next
- No waiting—receiver sees results as they arrive
6. **Response Processing** (progressive): As each completes, extract, envelope with `<from>`, re-inject to target pipeline
7. **Response Bubbling**: Results route back to parent (e.g., researcher/user) in completion order
---
## Boot Sequence
1. On startup, system generates: `<message><from>system</from><thread>root</thread><boot/></message>`
2. Sent to system pipeline
3. Dispatched to ALL listeners registered for `<boot/>` root tag
4. Human listener can register for `<boot/>` to:
- Display welcome message
- Await keyboard input
- Initiate first real conversation
**Example Human Listener**:
```python ```python
@xmlify async def run_pipeline(state: MessageState, pipeline: Pipeline):
@dataclass for step in pipeline.steps:
class Boot: try:
"""System boot notification""" state = await step(state)
pass if state.error: # early diagnostic
break
except Exception as exc:
state.error = f"Pipeline step {step.__name__} failed: {exc}"
break
async def human_boot_handler(msg: Boot) -> bytes: if state.target_listeners:
print("System ready. Type your message:") await dispatcher(state)
user_input = await async_input() else:
return f"<message>{user_input}</message>".encode() # Unroutable → send to system pipeline for <huh>
await system_pipeline.process(state)
``` ```
--- Pipelines run concurrently; messages within a single pipeline are processed sequentially.
## Out-of-Band (OOB) Privileged Messages
### Separation of Concerns
Privileged operations (defined in `privileged-msg.xsd`) operate on a completely separate channel:
- Dedicated websocket port (or Unix socket)
- Bound to localhost by default
- Uses Ed25519 signature verification
**The message pump dispatcher has NO knowledge of privileged messages**:
- Main dispatcher only routes messages with user/capability payloads
- Privileged messages like `<add-listener>`, `<remove-listener>`, `<hot-reload>` are handled by separate OOB handler
- No possibility of privilege escalation via main message flow
**Security Guarantee**: Remote clients cannot send privileged messages (channel not exposed). Even if leaked to main port, dispatcher would fail routing lookup (no pipeline registered for privileged root tags).
--- ---
## Pipeline Optimization & Scheduling ### Handler Response Processing (hard-coded path)
### Pipeline Parallelism After dispatcher awaits a handler:
Pipelines process independently and in parallel: ```python
- Each listener's pipeline can execute simultaneously response_bytes = await handler(state.payload, metadata)
- No shared state between pipelines (XSD schemas are cached read-only)
- Enables high throughput for multi-listener broadcasts
### Future: Token-Rate Monitoring # Safety guard
if response_bytes is None or not isinstance(response_bytes, bytes):
response_bytes = b"<huh>Handler failed to return valid bytes — likely missing return or wrong type</huh>"
Currently not implemented, but architecture supports: # Dedicated multi-payload extraction (hard-coded, tolerant)
- Each pipeline tracks tokens processed per minute payloads_bytes_list = await multi_payload_extract(response_bytes)
- Dispatcher can throttle high-volume agents
- Fair-share scheduling to prevent LLM monopolization
**Placeholder**: Token counting will be integrated once LLM abstraction layer is defined. for payload_bytes in payloads_bytes_list:
# Create fresh initial state for each emitted payload
--- new_state = MessageState(
raw_bytes=payload_bytes,
## Configuration & Wiring thread_id=state.thread_id, # inherited
from_id=current_listener.name, # provenance injection
### YAML Bootstrap (`organism.yaml`) )
# Route through normal pipeline resolution (root tag lookup)
Defines initial swarm topology: await route_and_process(new_state)
```yaml
listeners:
- name: calculator
capability: calculator.add
root_tag: add
namespace: https://xml-pipeline.org/ns/tools/calculator/v1
- name: researcher
capability: llm.researcher
root_tag: research-query
namespace: https://xml-pipeline.org/ns/agents/researcher/v1
tools:
- calculator # researcher can see/call calculator
- websearch
- name: websearch
capability: tools.google_search
root_tag: search
namespace: https://xml-pipeline.org/ns/tools/websearch/v1
agents:
- name: researcher
type: llm
model: claude-sonnet-4
system_prompt: "You are a research assistant..."
visible_tools: # restricts which listeners this agent can call
- calculator
- websearch
meta:
allow_list_capabilities: admin # or "all", "none"
allow_schema_requests: admin
``` ```
**Key Properties**: `multi_payload_extract` wraps in `<dummy>` (idempotent), repairs/parses, extracts all root elements, returns list of bytes. If none found → single diagnostic `<huh>`.
- Defines initial routing table (`root_tag → listener_name`)
- Controls visibility (agent A may not know agent B exists)
- Meta introspection privileges
- All structural changes require OOB privileged commands (hot-reload)
--- ---
## Summary: Critical Invariants ### Routing Resolution Step
1. **Pipeline-per-Listener**: Each registered listener has dedicated preprocessing pipeline Inside the pipeline, after deserialization:
2. **Async Concurrency**: Message pump launches concurrent dispatcher invocations; handlers run in parallel via asyncio
3. **Stateless Dispatcher**: Dispatcher is a simple async function `(msg, handler) → response`, no loop or state - Compute root tag = `{state.from_id.lower()}.{type(state.payload).__name__.lower()}`
4. **Pump Orchestrates**: Message pump event loop controls concurrency, scheduling, backpressure, and response handling - Lookup in primary routing table (root_tag → Listener)
5. **UUID Privacy**: Thread paths are opaque UUIDs; system maintains actual tree privately - If found → `state.target_listeners = [listener]`
6. **Error Injection**: Validation failures inject `<huh>` instead of silent discard - If broadcast case matches → `state.target_listeners = list_of_matching_listeners`
7. **Multi-Payload Extraction**: Handlers may emit multiple payloads; pump extracts, envelopes, and re-injects each - Else → `state.error = "Unknown capability"`
8. **Broadcast = Streaming Concurrent**: Multiple listeners execute in parallel; responses processed and bubbled as they complete (no group wait)
9. **OOB Isolation**: Privileged messages never touch main message pump or dispatcher Agents calling peers: pump enforces payload root tag is in allowed peers list (or broadcast group when we add it).
10. **Boot Message**: System-generated `<boot/>` enables listener-only architecture
11. **Stateless Handlers**: All routing, thread context, and identity is managed externally; handlers remain pure
12. **Parallel Everything**: Pipelines preprocess concurrently, pump launches dispatchers concurrently, responses stream progressively
--- ---
## Next Steps ### Dispatcher (dumb fire-and-await)
This document establishes the foundational architecture. Implementation priorities: ```python
async def dispatcher(state: MessageState):
if not state.target_listeners:
return
1. **Immediate (Echo Chamber Milestone)**: if len(state.target_listeners) == 1:
- Implement basic pipeline task sequence (repair → C14N → validate) await process_single_handler(state)
- Implement sequential dispatcher with simple routing else: # broadcast
- Basic `<huh>` error injection on validation failure tasks = [
- Boot message generation process_single_handler(state, listener_override=listener)
for listener in state.target_listeners
]
for future in asyncio.as_completed(tasks):
await future # responses processed immediately as they complete
```
2. **Near-Term**: `process_single_handler` awaits the handler and triggers the hard-coded response processing path above.
- Multi-payload extraction and re-injection
- UUID path registry and privacy enforcement
- YAML-driven listener registration
- Pipeline parallelism
3. **Future**:
- Token-rate monitoring per pipeline
- Fair-share dispatcher scheduling
- Advanced error recovery strategies
- Hot-reload capability via OOB
--- ---
**Status**: This document is now the single source of truth for message pump architecture. All code, diagrams, and decisions must align with this specification. ### Key Invariants (v2.1)
1. One dedicated pipeline per registered listener + permanent system pipeline.
2. Pipelines are ordered lists of async steps operating on universal `MessageState`.
3. Routing resolution is a normal pipeline step → dispatcher receives pre-routed targets.
4. Handler responses go through hard-coded multi-payload extraction → each payload becomes fresh `MessageState` routed normally.
5. Provenance (`<from>`) and thread continuity injected by pump, never by handlers.
6. `<huh>` guards protect against missing returns and step failures.
7. Extensibility: new steps (token counting, rate limiting, logging) insert anywhere in default list.
---
### Future Extensions (not v2.1)
- Hot-reload replace pipeline step list per listener
- Broadcast groups via `group:` YAML key (v2.2 candidate)
- Per-thread token bucket enforcement step
---
This specification is now aligned with listener-class-v2.1.md and configuration-v2.1.md.
The message pump is simple, auditable, high-throughput, and infinitely extensible via pipeline steps.
