# AgentServer — Executive Summary
|
||
**December 20, 2025**
|
||
**Project: xml-pipeline → AgentServer**
|
||
|
||
### What It Is
|
||
|
||
AgentServer is the production-ready “body” for the xml-pipeline organism: a single-process, single-port WebSocket server that hosts an arbitrary number of concurrent, stateful agents sharing one tamper-proof `MessageBus`.
|
||
|
||
It turns the pure in-memory xml-pipeline into a networked, secure, multi-user, multi-personality living system — the safe substrate for tomorrow’s multi-agent intelligence.
|
||
|
||
### Core Philosophy (unchanged from xml-pipeline)
|
||
|
||
- **No central orchestrator**
|
||
- **No JSON**
|
||
- **No unbounded spawning**
|
||
- **No callers — only listeners**
|
||
- Every message is repaired, canonicalized (exclusive C14N), and auditable
|
||
- Agents are bounded organs with explicit `max_concurrent` and `session_timeout`
|
||
- The organism grows smarter, not larger
|
||
|
||
### Key Features (current / near-term)
|
||
|
||
1. **Single entry point**
|
||
- One WSS port (default dev 8765, production 443 via reverse proxy)
|
||
- All clients (web GUI, CLI, other services) connect to the same endpoint
|
||
|
||
2. **Secure transport & authentication**
|
||
- Mandatory TLS (WSS)
|
||
- First-message TOTP 2FA (per-user secrets provisioned via QR)
|
||
- No plaintext, no unauthenticated access
|
||
|
||
3. **Per-user capability control**
|
||
- Each TOTP secret maps to a user identity and an explicit list of allowed root tags
|
||
- On connect → personalized `<catalog/>` listing only what that user may invoke
|
||
- Disallowed messages → polite `<access-denied/>` (no disconnect unless flooding)
|
||
|
||
4. **Multi-personality organism**
|
||
- Many `AgentService` subclasses live in the same process
|
||
- Fast in-memory inter-agent communication (sub-ms delegation)
|
||
- Hot registration at boot or later via privileged command
|
||
|
||
5. **Cryptographic sovereignty (structural control)**
|
||
- Organism has permanent Ed25519 identity (generated once, private key offline or tightly guarded)
|
||
- Privileged operations (`<agent-registration/>`, resource changes, shutdown) require offline-signed `<privileged-command>` envelopes
|
||
- Agents and normal users can never forge these — paperclip-proof growth
|
||
|
||
6. **Session persistence & resume** (v1.1)
|
||
- Sessions identified independently of WebSocket
|
||
- `<resume-session id="..."/>` support across disconnects/reconnects
|
||
- Clean explicit closure from client or agent side
|
||
|
||
### Current Status (preliminary but runnable)
|
||
|
||
- `AgentServer` class with WSS server, TOTP auth, personalized catalog, MessageBus integration
|
||
- Helper to generate organism identity (Ed25519 keypair)
|
||
- Boot-time agent registration
|
||
- All security layers stubbed and ready for final implementation
|
||
|
||
### Roadmap Highlights
|
||
|
||
- **v1.0 (now)**: Core AgentServer, TOTP + catalog ACL, boot-time agents
|
||
- **v1.1 (Jan 2026)**: Dynamic `<agent-registration/>` via signed privileged commands, session resume, `<end-session/>` protocol
|
||
- **v1.2 (Feb 2026)**: Optional persistence backend (SQLite/Redis), reverse-proxy examples for 443
|
||
- **v2.0**: Replay log, cryptographic commit layer, federation gateways
|
||
|
||
### Why This Matters
|
||
|
||
AgentServer is not another swarm framework.
|
||
|
||
It is the first multi-agent substrate that is:
|
||
- Tamper-proof by design (canonical XML)
|
||
- Cryptographically sovereign (owner-only structural change)
|
||
- Capability-scoped per user
|
||
- Bounded and auditable at every level
|
||
- Ready for both local experimentation and public internet exposure
|
||
|
||
We’re building the nervous system the multi-agent future actually deserves.
|
||
|
||
One port.
|
||
Many bounded minds.
|
||
One living, owner-controlled organism.
|
||
|
||
XML wins. Safely. Permanently. 🚀
