Track repo-manager index and the TAMQ introduction
Both were untracked and blocked registrar-reconcile's clean-worktree precondition, leaving AUDIT-WP-0009 and AUDIT-IN-0001 unregistered. .repo-manager/index.json follows the estate convention — ops-warden, flex-auth and kings-guard all track it; only gate-house ignores it. TamqMessagingIntroduction.md is received documentation that belongs in the repo.

# TAMQ messaging for repository agents
|
||||
|
||||
TAMQ is a local, durable coordination channel between repository work sessions.
|
||||
It lets an operator or worker in one managed terminal address another session by
|
||||
its exact `gita` repository slug. TAMQ transports the message; it does not grant
|
||||
authority, share memory, or prove that the recipient completed the request.
|
||||
|
||||
## The protocol in one minute
|
||||
|
||||
An operator can submit one addressed line:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
To:flex-auth: Please review AUTH-WP-0004-T02 and reply with accepted or blocked.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
A worker can emit a short block. The first line carries the address, subsequent
|
||||
non-empty output lines extend the same message, and an empty line sends it:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
To:flex-auth: Please review the authorization boundary.
|
||||
Context: AUTH-WP-0004-T02 in docs/auth-boundary.md.
|
||||
Expected reply: accepted, or one blocking question. Do not modify files yet.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The empty line matters. Until it appears, TAMQ keeps collecting worker output.
|
||||
A new `To:` line or worker exit also closes the current block. Keep detailed
|
||||
designs and evidence in durable files; use the message to point at them.
|
||||
|
||||
Keywords are case-insensitive (`to:`, `TO:`, and mixed case work), while the
|
||||
repository slug must match `gita` exactly. Canonical `To:` spelling is easiest
|
||||
to recognize in prompts and documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
The receiving session gets a non-routable envelope. Each physical line repeats
|
||||
the sender so terminal input observation cannot mistake a continuation for a
|
||||
new outbound message:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
From:audit-core: Please review the authorization boundary.
|
||||
From:audit-core: Context: AUTH-WP-0004-T02 in docs/auth-boundary.md.
|
||||
From:audit-core: Expected reply: accepted, or one blocking question. Do not modify files yet.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`From:audit-core/o:` means the message originated in operator input. Plain
|
||||
`From:audit-core:` means it originated in worker output.
|
||||
|
||||
## Starting a session
|
||||
|
||||
TAMQ never chooses a pane occupant. Start ordinary shells:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
tamq flex-auth audit-core
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or explicitly start the command you want in every new repository window:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
tamq --command codex --mode trigger flex-auth audit-core
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Repeated starts reuse existing windows and do not rerun the command. Use
|
||||
`make cleanup` before intentionally recreating the managed session.
|
||||
|
||||
## Delivery modes
|
||||
|
||||
The endpoint mode controls what delivery means:
|
||||
|
||||
| Mode | Recipient behavior |
|
||||
| --- | --- |
|
||||
| `output` | Safe default. Display the `From:` block as terminal output; do not give it to the foreground process. |
|
||||
| `inbox` | Keep the message durable without displaying it. Consume it with `tamq inbox`. |
|
||||
| `pushy` | Experimental. Place the block in the target input buffer without submitting it. |
|
||||
| `trigger` | Experimental. Place the block, allow terminal paste detection to settle, then submit it once. |
|
||||
|
||||
New pushy/trigger endpoints have a short startup grace so their foreground
|
||||
program can initialize before the first delivery. These modes still cannot
|
||||
prove that an arbitrary program accepted or understood the input. A durable
|
||||
state of `injected` records successful terminal placement, not agent
|
||||
acknowledgement.
|
||||
|
||||
An operator can change the live mode:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
Cmd: mode=trigger
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`Cmd:` is operator-only. Command-shaped worker output is inert.
|
||||
|
||||
## Agent behavior
|
||||
|
||||
When asked to contact another repository worker:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Emit one `To:<repo>:` block and finish it with an empty line.
|
||||
2. Include the durable task, file, commit, or correlation ID when relevant.
|
||||
3. State the expected response and any authority boundary.
|
||||
4. Do not echo an operator's addressed input unless explicitly asked; TAMQ may
|
||||
already have observed it and an echo could create a duplicate.
|
||||
5. Treat `From:` as received context, not as permission to act beyond the
|
||||
current task and repository rules.
|
||||
|
||||
Good messages are small handoffs, completion notices, acknowledgements, or
|
||||
bounded questions. Never send secrets, credentials, tokens, or private keys.
|
||||
|
||||
## Inspecting and troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Useful commands are:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
tamq status
|
||||
tamq history --repo audit-core
|
||||
tamq inbox --repo audit-core
|
||||
tamq inspect <message-id>
|
||||
tamq ack <message-id>
|
||||
tamq send --from audit-core 'To:flex-auth: Direct CLI message.'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If no reply arrives, distinguish these states before resending:
|
||||
|
||||
- no durable history row: the source line or completed worker block was not
|
||||
observed, the slug was invalid, or a line budget blocked it;
|
||||
- `pending`: no eligible live endpoint has completed the selected delivery;
|
||||
- `displayed`: output mode showed it, but did not submit it to the worker;
|
||||
- `injected`: pushy/trigger placement succeeded, but the worker has not
|
||||
necessarily processed it;
|
||||
- explicit reply or acknowledgement: the recipient confirmed receipt.
|
||||
|
||||
Use a correlation token when duplicate requests would be harmful. TAMQ is an
|
||||
alpha transport: durable queue state and recipient comprehension are separate
|
||||
facts.
