Framework for digital coordination as goal-driven communication.
## TAMQ worker-session adapter
The first runtime observes State Hub work and wakes explicitly selected local
repository workers through TAMQ. It owns actionability/safety checks, durable
coordination leases, checkpoints, deduplication and sanitized audit receipts.
TAMQ independently owns terminals, its durable queue and delivery policy.
Coordination-engine owns trigger observation, actionability and safety policy,
coordination leases, checkpoints, and State Hub receipts. TAMQ separately owns
local repository sessions, durable messages, terminal delivery attempts, and
acknowledgement state.
The implemented async boundary is provided by `tamq.client`:
```python
from tamq.client import CoordinationEngineAdapter, WakeRequest
receipt = await CoordinationEngineAdapter().wake(
WakeRequest(
lease_id="lease-123",
trigger_id="task-456:r7",
target_repo="audit-core",
prompt="Resume the actionable task and publish a checkpoint.",
)
)
```sh
uv sync --locked
make check
uv run coordination-engine --help
```
The coordination lease ID makes wake admission idempotent. An exact live TAMQ
endpoint is required; the adapter will not choose between multiple sessions or
start an agent implicitly. Transport states (`pending`, `awaiting_ack`,
`injected`, `acknowledged`, `failed`) are receipts, not workflow completion.
See `spec/worker-coordination-service-v0.1.md` and the canonical
`tmux-amq/spec/coordination-engine-adapter-v0.1.md` contract.
Configure selected gita repositories before starting `coordination-engine serve`.
Installation does not enable a service or start workers. See the
[runbook](docs/worker-runtime.md) for configuration, worker acknowledgements,
checkpoint continuation, backups and local verification.
The [v0.1 contract](spec/worker-coordination-service-v0.1.md) and
[adapter decision](docs/adr/002-worker-runtime-boundary.md) describe the ownership
boundary. The authoritative transport contract lives in
`tmux-amq/spec/coordination-engine-adapter-v0.1.md`. This package speaks that Unix
socket protocol directly and does not install TAMQ's executable.
Transport delivery is distinct from workflow completion. A worker must recheck
scope and authority, acknowledge/renew its coordination lease, and publish its
own task updates and completion.

# ADR-002: Worker runtime and TAMQ boundary
Date: 2026-09-07. Status: accepted. The operator approved the local deployment
defaults and canon-review scope transfer recorded in WP-0003-T02/T04.
The implemented `tmux-amq/spec/coordination-engine-adapter-v0.1.md` supersedes the
original speculative inbound TAMQ attach handshake in this repository. The
coordination process is a client of TAMQ's same-user Unix socket. TAMQ owns
endpoint registration, tmux lifecycle, gita slug/path verification, its `tamq`
executable, delivery policy, queue history, export/replay, and unsafe diagnostics.
This repository packages a separate `coordination-engine` executable and does
not install a conflicting `tamq` command. Its control socket handles worker
acknowledgements, renewals, checkpoints and local status. No second endpoint
registration protocol is introduced. TAMQ endpoint/message IDs are preserved
in coordination leases and sanitized receipts.
The first runtime uses Python 3.11+ and standard-library components. It speaks
the published TAMQ JSON socket protocol directly, so installation does not need
a sibling checkout or a private package index. A fake-peer integration suite
asserts the exact capability negotiation and idempotent send envelope. TAMQ
remains the authority for its wire contract.
The runtime uses explicit repository selection and the conservative default
policy. Operator-approved operational defaults are the existing contract's
15-second poll, 30-second lease, 10-second renewal, four attempts and
5/15/60/300-second retry delays, same approved local user, mode-0600 sockets,
private XDG state, retained history, and pre-migration SQLite backups. See
`docs/worker-runtime.md` for the complete example. No service has been enabled.
Checkpoint continuation and transport recovery have different identities:
transport recovery repeats the same lease and prompt, while a checkpoint ends
its lease and creates a new trigger/lease linked to the original. This preserves
TAMQ admission deduplication without suppressing a deliberate continuation.
Canon ownership remains with info-tech-canon. The proposed Orwell practice is
recorded in `docs/orwell-logging-diagnostics-candidate.md`; no canonical status
or owner disposition is claimed by this repository. The operator approved
tracking owner review/registration separately in COORDINATION-WP-0004; it no
longer blocks closure of the implemented worker runtime.

# OrwellLoggingDiagnostics — candidate practice pattern
Candidate ID: `practice-pattern/orwell-logging-diagnostics`
Canonical owner: info-tech-canon
Requested by: coordination-engine / COORDINATION-WP-0003-T04
Follow-up: COORDINATION-WP-0004
Known use: tmux-amq's local diagnostic mode
Status: candidate prepared; owner review and registration outstanding
## Problem
Normal operational logs must omit message bodies, credentials, and unrestricted
terminal output. Rare local debugging sessions may need otherwise omitted
fields to explain a transport failure. A diagnostic override must never quietly
become the production logging policy.
## Proposed practice
1. Safe logging is the default at every verbosity. Increasing verbosity alone
must not disclose sensitive fields.
2. An explicit per-invocation `--orwell` option selects the unsafe diagnostic
mode. Configuration files, inherited profile defaults and background startup
must not enable it silently.
3. Refuse the option in the production policy. Emit a prominent warning before
collecting any additional fields in an explicitly non-production session.
4. Write only to an owner-controlled local mode-0600 sink. Never send those fields
to State Hub, central telemetry, message exports, or shared CI artifacts.
5. Document precisely which fields can be captured. Prefer synthetic data for
reproduction. The operator selects the shortest useful capture and removes
the unsafe log after diagnosis using the storage owner's procedure.
6. Verify default omission, per-invocation opt-in, production rejection, file
permissions, and separation from remote projection in the consumer tests.
## Consumer boundary
TAMQ owns its diagnostic flag and sensitive transport fields. Coordination-engine
only emits sanitized transition receipts, has no unsafe logging flag, and never
projects checkpoint contents. Introducing an unsafe runtime sink is unnecessary
for WP-0003's worker coordination behavior.
## Canon review handoff
The owner should compare this candidate with existing observability and data
handling practices, decide whether to observe/map/adapt/adopt/reject it, and
register the accepted artifact through its assimilation process. The canonical
`infospace/assimilation/intake-and-assimilation-practice.md` requires an explicit
owner disposition before a canon change; a candidate is not registration.
2026-09-07: the operator approved transferring canon review/registration from
WP-0003-T04 to `workplans/COORDINATION-WP-0004-orwell-canon-review.md`. The
follow-up requires explicit owner disposition and, if accepted, a canonical
artifact/version/index entry. WP-0003 closure does not imply canonical acceptance.

# Worker coordination runtime
The local Python 3.11+ service observes State Hub and wakes existing TAMQ workers.
It does not create terminals, execute repository commands, or change task status.
TAMQ must be installed independently; its Python package is not a dependency.
## Install and configure
```sh
uv sync --locked
uv tool install .
# For development: uv tool install --editable .
```
Create `~/.config/coordination-engine/config.toml` using this example. The `repos`
list is an explicit operator selection of workers eligible for automatic wakes.
The default empty list refuses to start. All selected repos and
`coordination-engine` must already appear in `gita freeze`.
```toml
[coordination]
repos = ["net-kingdom"]
api_base = "http://127.0.0.1:8000"
# Use the SAME path as the independently configured TAMQ service:
tamq_socket = "/tmp/tamq.sock"
poll_interval = 15
lease_seconds = 30
renew_interval = 10
max_attempts = 4
retry_backoff = [5, 15, 60, 300]
timeout = 5
busy_timeout = 5
policy_profile = "default"
allow = ["repo_inspect", "repo_edit", "local_checks", "state_updates", "tmux_wake"]
# Explicitly choose an endpoint if multiple sessions host the same repo:
# [coordination.endpoints]
# net-kingdom = "tmux-amq-12345"
```
`COORDINATION_CONFIG`, `COORDINATION_STATE_DIR`, `COORDINATION_SOCKET`,
`TAMQ_SOCKET`, and `STATEHUB_API_BASE` override file settings. State defaults to
`${XDG_STATE_HOME:-~/.local/state}/coordination-engine`; the control socket is
`${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/coordination-engine.sock`, or
`/tmp/coordination-<uid>/coordination-engine.sock` without XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.
The state directory must be owned by the service user and mode `0700`.
Both sockets must be same-user mode `0600`; Linux SO_PEERCRED is required.
TAMQ's own config file is not read: supply its socket explicitly if customized.
No secret belongs in this config. The current HTTP adapter uses the already
accessible local State Hub endpoint without inventing a credential mechanism.
If that endpoint requires credentials, leave the service stopped and resolve
its access through `warden route` and the owning subsystem. Authentication
failure keeps projections pending and prevents fresh observation/wakes.
## Run and inspect
```sh
coordination-engine serve # foreground; supervise using the local user identity
coordination-engine ping
coordination-engine status # JSON: adapter health, leases and local schema
coordination-engine history # local leases, including checkpoint content
coordination-engine stop # preserves leases, history and TAMQ terminals
coordination-engine once # one observation/dispatch pass; also takes writer lock
coordination-engine completion bash
```
Use `--config /path/to/config.toml` before the subcommand if needed. No service
is automatically installed or enabled by package installation. A stopped or
unavailable TAMQ endpoint is never implicitly opened. `once` can wake workers;
it is not a dry run. Ordinary diagnostics omit remote error text and payloads.
JSON status/history are local inspection surfaces and may contain checkpoints.
Only one service/writer may use a state directory. SIGINT/SIGTERM stops new
work, finishes the bounded adapter call, preserves state and removes the control
socket. With the default five-second adapter timeout, shutdown fits the
contract's ten-second grace period under normal local I/O. Restarting preserves
idempotency keys and receipt backlog. The synchronous local-alpha observer can
briefly delay control requests while polling; keep the selected worker set small
and lengthen leases for slower hubs. It is not a high-throughput scheduler.
## Actionability
The observer joins `/repos/`, `/workplans/`, paginated `/tasks/`, per-workplan
`dependencies/`, and per-repository unread `/messages/`. A complete successful
snapshot is required before dispatch. Hub outage backs polling off to 300 seconds;
TAMQ's independent local delivery continues. Reconnection is checked at the next
backoff deadline; restarting the service resets the delay.
Tasks must be `todo` or `progress` under a `ready` or `active` workplan. `wait`
tasks remain waiting until their authoritative state is changed. Dependencies
use the Hub's direction: `from_workplan_id` depends on `to_workplan_id` or
`to_task_id`. Only finished/archived workplans and done tasks satisfy an edge;
missing targets and unknown relationship types wait conservatively. This API
has no task-to-task dependency endpoint; task-targeted workplan edges are handled.
Only subjects beginning with `[action]` request an inbox wake; ordinary unread
messages are informational. Bodies are never copied into the wake prompt.
The worker must inspect the referenced source and recheck scope and authority.
This marker requests inspection and does not grant authority to its body.
`needs_human`, intervention notes, blocking reasons, disallowed structured
`action_classes`, and conservative sensitive-action text detection stop work
with receipts. The text detector is an additional stop mechanism, not an
authorization classifier; it can produce false positives. Unknown action
classes stop. The only supported v0.1 profile is `default`, optionally narrowed
through `allow`; sensitive-action retries are always zero. A changed source
revision may be reconsidered, but the same stopped revision is never retried.
Changing runtime configuration stops old pending leases instead of silently
reinterpreting their authority.
## Worker contract
Workers use the same approved Unix user and configuration. The socket verifies
peer UID; repo claims must be selected and currently gita registered. This is a
same-user trust boundary, not isolation between mutually untrusted processes.
```sh
coordination-engine ack LEASE_ID --repo net-kingdom
coordination-engine renew LEASE_ID --repo net-kingdom
coordination-engine checkpoint LEASE_ID --repo net-kingdom --file checkpoint.json
# Or, after the repository's normal file/State Hub updates:
coordination-engine complete LEASE_ID --repo net-kingdom --file checkpoint.json
```
Acknowledge before working; renew every 10 seconds by default. Updates for expired,
terminal, unknown or mismatched leases are rejected. The worker owns its renewal
loop. Expiry is not permission to keep working: stop or reestablish authority.
A checkpoint file is a local JSON object, at most 8 KiB:
```json
{"summary":"Parser fix checked", "files_changed":["src/parser.py"], "next_action":"Run the remaining local checks", "blocked_reason":null}
```
Keep credentials and sensitive values out of checkpoints. Checkpoint contents
stay in the private SQLite database; receipts contain only transition metadata.
`blocked_reason` may be `human`, `secret`, `destructive`, `policy`, `dependency`,
or `unavailable`; any value stops automatic continuation. A normal checkpoint
ends the old lease and creates a new checkpoint trigger/wake on the next poll.
Its `source_id` points to the parent trigger in local `history`, whose checkpoint
must be inspected before resuming. Recurring checkpoints form a local chain.
Transport failures/lease expiry retry with the **same** lease ID and identical
prompt, up to four attempts by default (configurable 0–9). This recovers admission
without creating a second TAMQ message. An already injected message is not
reinjected merely because the worker lease expired; exhaustion stops for review.
Explicit checkpoint continuation gets a **new** lease/message identity.
Only one unexpired offered/acknowledged/running lease per repo is admitted.
Changing task revision during an active lease does not wake a second worker.
Delivery states are recorded separately: `injected`/`acknowledged` do not complete
coordination work. TAMQ `failed` stops coordination; there is no automatic terminal
transport reset. The worker's completion or authoritative task `done` is completion;
other removed/changed sources retire stale leases as stopped.
## Retention, backup and receipts
SQLite uses WAL, foreign keys, transactional transitions and a schema version.
History is retained indefinitely; there is no automatic deletion. Existing tables
are backed up before a forward migration; newer schemas are refused.
```sh
coordination-engine db-version
coordination-engine backup
```
Backups are mode `0600`, consistent SQLite snapshots alongside the database. Copy
an explicit backup file to the operator's approved backup destination. To restore,
stop the service, preserve the entire old state directory (including WAL/SHM), and
place the chosen snapshot as `coordination.sqlite3` in a fresh mode-0700 state
directory. Configure that directory before restarting. Do not mix an old database
with current WAL/SHM files. TAMQ message history has its own independent backup and
purge procedures.
Every state transition and shutdown creates an audit receipt. Projection uses
`POST /progress/` and buffers failures locally. Delivery is **at least once**:
a crash after remote acceptance can repeat a projection; consumers should use
`detail.id` to deduplicate. An edge-relay queued response remains pending local
evidence. No message body, checkpoint text, credentials, or terminal output is
included. Local `status` reports pending receipt counts (up to the 100-row batch).
## Verification
```sh
make check
uv build # optional packaging check
COORDINATION_LIVE_SMOKE=1 uv run pytest -m live
```
The ordinary tests use temporary SQLite, fake HTTP/gita peers and real temporary
Unix sockets, including foreground service stop/restart. The live smoke is opt-in,
read-only discovery: registry, Hub repos, and TAMQ capabilities. It never injects
a wake. A production deployment or end-to-end agent run has not been performed
by this implementation task.

# Worker Coordination Service v0.1
**Status:** Proposed contract
**Owner:** coordination-engine (contract and runtime); State Hub and
`tmux-amq` are external local adapters.
**Request:** net-kingdom, “automatic worker wake-up and dependency coordination”
## 1. Problem and outcome
Several repository terminals run independent worker agents. Today an operator
must repeatedly inspect each repository, relay results, and issue prompts that
are effectively a scheduler. The service defined here turns State Hub changes
into safe, deduplicated wake-ups while keeping repository agents responsible for
publishing workplan/task/message state.
The desired loop is:
```text
State Hub change
-> observe and normalize
-> determine actionable task/message
-> acquire idempotent lease
-> wake owning repo session
-> agent resumes, checkpoints, and updates State Hub
-> dependent work becomes actionable and is evaluated again
```
The service does not execute repository code, invent task state, or replace
State Hub as the source of truth. It does own the observation, lease, policy,
checkpoint, and wake orchestration runtime.
## 2. Inputs and normalized trigger
The observer MUST support polling initially and MAY support a State Hub event
subscription later. It watches:
* workplan status and task status/dependencies;
* unread coordination messages and message read/ack state;
* `needs_human` and intervention notes;
* progress/checkpoint receipts.
Each source change is normalized to a trigger with an idempotency key:
```yaml
WorkerTrigger:
id: string
source: workplan | task | message | checkpoint
source_id: string
source_revision: string
target_repo: string
target_agent: string?
reason: task_actionable | dependency_satisfied | inbox_message | retry_due | checkpoint_resume
observed_at: timestamp
```
The idempotency key is `(source, source_id, source_revision, target_repo)`.
Repeated observations MUST collapse to one pending trigger.
## 3. Actionability and safety gates
A trigger is actionable only when its task/workplan is active or ready, its
dependencies are satisfied (or the message explicitly requests action), and no
terminal safety gate applies. The service MUST stop and leave a durable receipt
when any of these are true:
* `needs_human` is set or an intervention note requests review;
* credentials, secrets, access tokens, or private key material are needed;
* destructive, production, live, financial, or externally visible action is
proposed without an approved policy/authority;
* a policy decision, scope expansion, or ambiguous ownership requires a human;
* the target session cannot be authenticated or its repository identity does not
match the trigger.
Safety-gated work is never silently retried or rerouted to another agent.
Retry behavior is configuration-driven: ordinary triggers use bounded
exponential backoff, while safety-gated retries default to zero and may only be
enabled by an explicit policy. No retry setting may bypass the safety gate.
## 4. Lease and deduplication protocol
When connected, coordination-engine atomically claims a short-lived coordination
lease before waking an agent. Independently, `tmux-amq` maintains its own local
queue lease so messages remain deliverable while coordination-engine is offline.
The two leases are correlated but neither is the other's storage dependency:
Coordination-engine stores coordination leases, deduplication keys, and receipts
in a local SQLite database. State Hub receives sanitized projections when it is
available; it is not required for local queue delivery or lease recovery.
```yaml
WorkerLease:
trigger_id: string
lease_id: string
owner: coordination-engine
target_repo: string
target_agent: string?
state: offered | acknowledged | running | checkpointed | completed | retry_wait | stopped
attempt: integer
acquired_at: timestamp
expires_at: timestamp
last_checkpoint_at: timestamp?
coordination_endpoint_id: string?
local_lease_id: string?
```
Only one non-expired coordination lease may exist for a trigger. A wake request is retried
with the same `lease_id`; the receiver MUST treat duplicate requests as no-ops.
The agent acknowledges the lease before work begins, renews it while active,
and releases it with a checkpoint or terminal result. Expiry moves the lease to
`retry_wait` with bounded exponential backoff and an attempt limit. Exhaustion
produces a stopped receipt for operator review.
## 5. Session wake contract
The runtime integrates with `tmux-amq`, a separate local repository that owns
tmux session lifecycle, durable queueing, delivery leases, acknowledgement
state, and PTY interaction. `tmux-amq` remains functional when
coordination-engine is unavailable. The implemented transport contract is
`tmux-amq/spec/coordination-engine-adapter-v0.1.md`; this section summarizes its
coordination-engine-facing obligations.
Only repositories registered in gita may be addressed. A session may be started
with, for example, `tamq --command codex --mode trigger net-kingdom
railiance-platform`; TAMQ opens one terminal per repository and runs the command
only because the operator selected it explicitly. Operator or worker messages
use `To:repo: text` and arrive in non-routable `From:sender[/o]: text`
envelopes. Coordination-engine calls TAMQ through the same-user Unix-socket
adapter and never manipulates tmux directly.
Each tmux-amq endpoint is identified as `tmux-amq-<PID>`, where `<PID>` is the
tmux server PID. Within one endpoint, a repository slug maps to exactly one
tmux window; duplicate windows for the same repo are rejected or reconciled
before attach. Different endpoint PIDs may independently host the same repo.
Outbound messages are observed by TAMQ's explicit PTY broker. A worker
`To:<registered-repo>:` line begins a block that closes on an empty line, a new
address, or worker exit; operator input is one addressed line. TAMQ preserves
ordinary terminal bytes and records distinct worker/operator provenance.
If observation is unavailable, TAMQ leaves ordinary terminal use unchanged and
does not fall back to pane scraping. Operators may explicitly use
`tamq send 'To:repo: message'` as a degraded path.
tmux-amq MUST retain a local message history sufficient to inspect delivery
state and export it to a messages file. It MUST also support replaying a
messages file into a selected endpoint. Replay creates a new batch identifier,
passes each entry through normal gita-target validation, policy checks, and
deduplication, and records the original message ID as provenance. Replay MUST
not bypass safety gates or silently overwrite an existing message.
History files use newline-delimited JSON (JSONL): one complete message envelope
per line, including message ID, sender/target, body, timestamps, state, and
replay provenance. JSONL exports are appendable and replayable as streams.
The repository is `tmux-amq`, but its executable is `tamq` (Tmux Agentic Message
Queueing). It MUST provide conventional Unix CLI behavior, including
`--help`/`-h`, `--version`/`-V`, non-zero exit status on errors, diagnostics on
stderr, and machine-readable output options where commands produce records.
Default filesystem locations follow XDG conventions:
```text
config: ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/tamq/config.toml
state: ${XDG_STATE_HOME:-$HOME/.local/state}/tamq/tamq.sqlite3
socket: ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:-/tmp}/tamq.sock
```
`TAMQ_CONFIG`, `TAMQ_STATE_DIR`, `TAMQ_SOCKET`, and `TAMQ_POLICY_PROFILE` may
override these defaults. The CLI MUST provide tab completion through
`tamq completion bash|zsh|fish` and expose completion for subcommands,
options, and known gita repository targets.
Version 0.1 supports direct addressing only. Unknown or unregistered targets
are rejected; there is no broadcast or wildcard routing. Coordination-engine
resolves exactly one currently registered TAMQ endpoint for the target; zero is
unavailable and multiple matches require an explicit endpoint ID. It does not
implicitly create a session or choose a pane occupant. The sender label is
derived from the structured request or authenticated source window, not message
text.
Delivery acknowledgment is configurable and defaults to `injected`, meaning the
message is considered transport-delivered once TAMQ successfully writes it to
the target terminal. `acknowledged` enters `awaiting_ack` and redelivers the same
message ID after its deadline. Attempts, write failures, lease expiry, backoff,
and terminal `failed` state are durable and bounded by the selected profile. A
late acknowledgement wins; terminal retry is explicit. Duplicate terminal
presentation is possible and neither delivery mode proves agent comprehension
or task completion.
Coordination-engine uses its coordination lease ID as TAMQ's idempotency key and
the trigger revision as correlation ID. Repeating an identical wake returns the
original TAMQ message ID; reusing the lease ID for a different request fails.
The client opens a new authenticated socket connection per operation, so
receipt recovery after broker restart uses `message` or `history` rather than a
connection session. If the bound endpoint disappears, repeating the identical
wake may rebind the same durable message ID to its one replacement endpoint;
TAMQ refuses implicit movement while the old endpoint remains live.
Message bodies are human-readable UTF-8 plain text, limited to 8 KiB and
preserving multiline content. The transport envelope carries structured IDs,
sender/target slugs, timestamps, and policy metadata. Binary payloads and
oversized bodies are rejected. Message text is never interpreted as task or
workplan state.
On attach, `tmux-amq` connects to a coordination-engine Unix domain socket and
performs a handshake, receiving a unique
`coordination_endpoint_id`. That identifier namespaces all messages and leases
originating from the connected endpoint, so local IDs can safely be reused
across different machines or sessions without cross-endpoint collision.
Coordination-engine MUST treat `(coordination_endpoint_id, local_message_id)`
as the message identity and preserve the endpoint ID in receipts.
The socket protocol MUST use structured messages and authenticate the peer by
filesystem ownership/permissions. The default deployment runs both processes
under the same approved local user, uses socket mode `0600`, and validates Unix
peer credentials; bearer tokens in command lines are not required. The initial
handshake includes the gita
registered repository slugs, tmux session name, and agent command; the response
contains the endpoint ID and negotiated lease/receipt capabilities. No TCP
listener is required for the local integration.
coordination-engine MUST refresh the local gita registry before accepting an
attach or addressing a target. It accepts only exact registered repository
slugs, requires the attached session to report the matching slug/path, and
never auto-clones or auto-registers a repository.
The adapter interface is:
```yaml
WakeRequest:
lease_id: string
target_repo: string # must be gita-registered and an active tmux-amq target
target_agent: string?
trigger: WorkerTrigger
checkpoint: Checkpoint?
prompt: string
WakeAck:
lease_id: string
session_id: string
accepted_at: timestamp
capability: resumed | started | unavailable
```
The prompt is generated from the trigger and the standard continuation policy;
it MUST contain no secret values. The target agent remains the authority for
editing files, calling tools, and updating State Hub.
## 6. Checkpoints and standard continuation policy
Agents SHOULD publish a checkpoint before yielding or stopping:
```yaml
Checkpoint:
lease_id: string
task_id: string?
summary: string
files_changed: [string]
next_action: string?
blocked_reason: human | secret | destructive | policy | dependency | unavailable | null
recorded_at: timestamp
```
When a lease is resumed, the service supplies the latest checkpoint and asks
the agent to continue. The following policy templates are recognized, in order:
1. inspect open work and implement the highest-priority actionable item;
2. if no work is open, reconcile `SCOPE.md` with `INTENT.md`, record gaps under
`history/`, and create/register a workplan for the most relevant gap;
3. review pending work, refine it where needed, and implement the next safe item;
4. if no safe work remains, close the session and write a perspective entry to
the configured `hall-of-helix` destination.
Templates are suggestions, not permission to bypass safety gates or invent
scope. A repository may override them through its agent instructions.
### 6.1 Policy profiles
Automatic behavior is selected through named policy profiles rather than code
changes. The default profile is conservative:
```yaml
policy:
profile: default
profiles:
default:
allow: [statehub_read, repo_inspect, repo_edit, local_checks,
state_updates, coordination_messages, tmux_wake, transient_retry]
require_human: [secrets, destructive, live_external, scope_change,
ambiguous_ownership, external_publish, financial, legal]
safety_gated_max_attempts: 0
```
Profiles MUST be selected by configuration, validated at startup, and included
by name/version in every lease and receipt. A profile cannot grant access to
credentials that are unavailable through the configured credential-routing
system, and every profile remains subject to authentication and repository
boundary checks.
## 7. Receipts and observability
Every trigger, lease transition, wake attempt, checkpoint, stop, retry, and
completion MUST emit a sanitized progress/audit receipt containing identifiers,
status, reason, timestamps, and retry metadata. Receipts MUST exclude prompt
secrets, credentials, payload contents, and unrestricted terminal output.
The service SHOULD publish receipts through State Hub progress/events and retain
enough correlation data to explain why a dependent task was (or was not) woken.
## 8. Ownership boundary
Repositories publish workplan/task/message state and consume wake requests. They
MUST NOT add independent polling daemons for this feature. Coordination-engine
owns the service process, observation, lease/deduplication, retry policy, and
wake dispatch. State Hub owns durable task/message state. Terminal/session
control is a pluggable adapter owned by coordination-engine and deployed with
the runtime; its underlying bridge remains an external dependency.
## 9. Operator decisions required before implementation
The following choices cannot be inferred safely from repository documents:
1. Which terminal/session bridge is authorized to wake or resume workers?
2. What local SQLite retention and backup policy should be used for leases and
receipts?
3. Default polling interval, lease duration, renewal interval, and retry limit?
4. Which actions are pre-approved policies versus always human-gated?
5. What service identity and authentication path may write State Hub and invoke
the wake adapter?
6. Which Unix socket path and filesystem ownership should the local deployment
use?
### 9.1 Runtime configuration
The following values MUST be configurable without code changes:
```yaml
coordination:
statehub_poll_interval_seconds: 15
wake_ack_timeout_seconds: 30
lease_renew_interval_seconds: 10
retry_backoff_seconds: [5, 15, 60, 300]
max_attempts: 4
safety_gated_max_attempts: 0
delivery_ack_mode: injected # injected | acknowledged
```
Deployments may choose different values, including up to nine attempts. The
service MUST validate `max_attempts` and `safety_gated_max_attempts` in the
range 0..9 and record the effective configuration version in receipts.
State Hub observation uses the configured polling interval (15 seconds by
default), backs off exponentially while unavailable, and resumes promptly when
connectivity returns. Local tmux-amq messaging is never blocked by State Hub
outages; receipt projections are queued for asynchronous publication.
The State Hub endpoint is configurable through `STATEHUB_API_BASE` or
`statehub.api_base`, defaulting to `http://127.0.0.1:8000`. Credentials MUST be
resolved through the approved credential-routing mechanism and never stored in
tamq configuration, SQLite, JSONL exports, tmux commands, or receipts. Missing
credentials leave local messaging operational while State Hub projections stay
pending.
`tamq status` exposes live endpoint/session, queue, lease, and State Hub
connectivity information. `tamq history` exposes full local delivery history;
State Hub receives sanitized receipts and correlation IDs only. Message bodies
remain local unless explicitly exported to JSONL.
History is never deleted automatically. When invoked without explicit filters,
`tamq purge` uses dynamic defaults equivalent to `--before 365d` and
`--max-size 100MB`; purge requires confirmation and may be preceded by JSONL
export. On startup, if history exceeds 100 MB, tamq prints an advisory such as:
`Size of history is NNN MB since YYMMDD, exceeding 100MB. Consider using 'tamq purge'.`
`tamq purge` performs a dry-run summary by default, reporting the matching
message count, date range, and estimated bytes. Interactive execution requires
explicit confirmation; non-interactive execution requires `--yes`. Combined
filters are allowed, and each purge emits a receipt containing filters and
counts without message bodies.
`tamq start` creates or reuses the tmux server/windows and starts the local
service; `tamq serve` runs the Unix-socket service in the foreground; `tamq stop`
stops the service without killing worker terminals or deleting queues. The
initial repo-opening command MUST ensure the service is alive and start it
automatically when absent. Startup is idempotent and lock-protected so two
concurrent repo opens cannot create duplicate services. `--detach` is required
to daemonize; foreground operation is the default for diagnostics.
If automatic startup fails, tamq reports the error on stderr, returns non-zero,
does not register an endpoint or claim delivery, and leaves existing sessions
and SQLite data untouched. `--no-service` may explicitly open terminals without
messaging, with a visible warning.
## 10. Logging and diagnostics
Foreground `tamq serve` logs to stderr. Detached operation logs to
`${XDG_STATE_HOME:-$HOME/.local/state}/tamq/tamq.log`. The default level is
`info`; `--quiet` suppresses non-errors, `--verbose` enables debug diagnostics,
and `--json` requests structured output where applicable. Message bodies,
credentials, tokens, and unrestricted PTY output are omitted by default.
`--orwell` is an explicitly unsafe, non-production diagnostic mode that logs
otherwise-omitted diagnostic fields, including message bodies and credential
material when available. It MUST be supplied per invocation, emit a prominent
warning, write only to a local mode-`0600` sink, never project to State Hub, and
be rejected by the default production policy profile. Operators are responsible
for purging Orwell logs after diagnosis.
This practice is proposed for canonization as the InfoTechCanon PracticePattern
`practice-pattern/orwell-logging-diagnostics` (`OrwellLoggingDiagnostics`). The
canonical owner is info-tech-canon; tamq is a concrete known use, not the owner
of the general practice.
The first runtime implementation uses Python 3.11+ and should prefer standard
library components (`sqlite3`, `asyncio`, Unix sockets, and CLI primitives) so
local installation remains small and reliable.
The project is packaged through a root `pyproject.toml` with a `tamq` console
entry point. It must support `uv tool install .`, editable development installs,
and package-derived `tamq --version` output.
Verification uses layered tests: pytest unit tests for state/config/protocol
logic; Unix-socket integration tests with fake tmux-amq peers; fake State Hub
and gita registry tests; CLI behavior tests; and opt-in live smoke tests only
when explicitly configured. Tests must not require credentials or mutate live
systems.
The Unix-socket protocol is versioned independently from package versions,
starting at `0.1`. Attach handshakes negotiate protocol version and capabilities;
incompatible major versions are rejected, compatible minor versions may
interoperate, and the negotiated values are retained in endpoint/receipt data.
SQLite stores an explicit schema version. Startup applies forward migrations in
transactions, creates a timestamped backup before altering message/lease
tables, and refuses to run against a newer schema. Message history is never
silently dropped; `tamq db-version` reports the current schema.
SQLite uses WAL mode, foreign-key enforcement, and a configurable busy timeout
(5 seconds by default). Queue and lease transitions are transactional, with a
single coordination-engine writer path and concurrent readers. Transient busy
errors may retry without creating duplicate messages.
On `SIGTERM` or `SIGINT`, the service stops accepting socket requests and new
leases, finishes the current transaction, marks the endpoint disconnected,
closes the socket, preserves queues/leases for recovery, emits a sanitized
shutdown receipt, and exits within a configurable grace period (10 seconds by
default).
Default CI gates are `uv run pytest`, `git diff --check`,
`python -m compileall src`, `tamq --help`, and `tamq --version`; package
install/build and live smoke checks are separate opt-in jobs.
Health is local-only: `tamq status` is human-readable, `tamq status --json` is
machine-readable, and `tamq ping` performs a lightweight Unix-socket liveness
check. Status separates process/socket, SQLite, gita registry, State Hub, queue,
and lease health; no TCP health port is exposed.

# Worker Coordination Service v0.1
**Status:** Proposed contract
**Owner:** coordination-engine (contract and runtime); State Hub and
`tmux-amq` are external local adapters.
**Request:** net-kingdom, “automatic worker wake-up and dependency coordination”
## 1. Problem and outcome
Several repository terminals run independent worker agents. Today an operator
must repeatedly inspect each repository, relay results, and issue prompts that
are effectively a scheduler. The service defined here turns State Hub changes
into safe, deduplicated wake-ups while keeping repository agents responsible for
publishing workplan/task/message state.
The desired loop is:
```text
State Hub change
-> observe and normalize
-> determine actionable task/message
-> acquire idempotent lease
-> wake owning repo session
-> agent resumes, checkpoints, and updates State Hub
-> dependent work becomes actionable and is evaluated again
```
The service does not execute repository code, invent task state, or replace
State Hub as the source of truth. It does own the observation, lease, policy,
checkpoint, and wake orchestration runtime.
## 2. Inputs and normalized trigger
The observer MUST support polling initially and MAY support a State Hub event
subscription later. It watches:
* workplan status and task status/dependencies;
* unread coordination messages and message read/ack state;
* `needs_human` and intervention notes;
* progress/checkpoint receipts.
Each source change is normalized to a trigger with an idempotency key:
```yaml
WorkerTrigger:
id: string
source: workplan | task | message | checkpoint
source_id: string
source_revision: string
target_repo: string
target_agent: string?
reason: task_actionable | dependency_satisfied | inbox_message | retry_due | checkpoint_resume
observed_at: timestamp
```
The idempotency key is `(source, source_id, source_revision, target_repo)`.
Repeated observations MUST collapse to one pending trigger.
## 3. Actionability and safety gates
A trigger is actionable only when its task/workplan is active or ready, its
dependencies are satisfied (or the message explicitly requests action), and no
terminal safety gate applies. The service MUST stop and leave a durable receipt
when any of these are true:
* `needs_human` is set or an intervention note requests review;
* credentials, secrets, access tokens, or private key material are needed;
* destructive, production, live, financial, or externally visible action is
proposed without an approved policy/authority;
* a policy decision, scope expansion, or ambiguous ownership requires a human;
* the target session cannot be authenticated or its repository identity does not
match the trigger.
Safety-gated work is never silently retried or rerouted to another agent.
Retry behavior is configuration-driven: ordinary triggers use bounded
exponential backoff, while safety-gated retries default to zero and may only be
enabled by an explicit policy. No retry setting may bypass the safety gate.
## 4. Lease and deduplication protocol
When connected, coordination-engine atomically claims a short-lived coordination
lease before waking an agent. Independently, `tmux-amq` maintains its own local
queue lease so messages remain deliverable while coordination-engine is offline.
The two leases are correlated but neither is the other's storage dependency:
Coordination-engine stores coordination leases, deduplication keys, and receipts
in a local SQLite database. State Hub receives sanitized projections when it is
available; it is not required for local queue delivery or lease recovery.
```yaml
WorkerLease:
trigger_id: string
lease_id: string
owner: coordination-engine
target_repo: string
target_agent: string?
state: offered | acknowledged | running | checkpointed | completed | retry_wait | stopped
attempt: integer
acquired_at: timestamp
expires_at: timestamp
last_checkpoint_at: timestamp?
coordination_endpoint_id: string?
local_lease_id: string?
```
Only one non-expired coordination lease may exist for a trigger. A wake request is retried
with the same `lease_id`; the receiver MUST treat duplicate requests as no-ops.
The agent acknowledges the lease before work begins, renews it while active,
and releases it with a checkpoint or terminal result. Expiry moves the lease to
`retry_wait` with bounded exponential backoff and an attempt limit. Exhaustion
produces a stopped receipt for operator review.
## 5. Session wake contract
The runtime integrates with `tmux-amq`, a separate local repository that owns
tmux session lifecycle, durable queueing, delivery leases, acknowledgement
state, and PTY interaction. `tmux-amq` remains functional when
coordination-engine is unavailable. The implemented transport contract is
`tmux-amq/spec/coordination-engine-adapter-v0.1.md`; this section summarizes its
coordination-engine-facing obligations.
Only repositories registered in gita may be addressed. A session may be started
with, for example, `tamq --command codex --mode trigger net-kingdom
railiance-platform`; TAMQ opens one terminal per repository and runs the command
only because the operator selected it explicitly. Operator or worker messages
use `To:repo: text` and arrive in non-routable `From:sender[/o]: text`
envelopes. Coordination-engine calls TAMQ through the same-user Unix-socket
adapter and never manipulates tmux directly.
Each tmux-amq endpoint is identified as `tmux-amq-<PID>`, where `<PID>` is the
tmux server PID. Within one endpoint, a repository slug maps to exactly one
tmux window; duplicate windows for the same repo are rejected or reconciled
before attach. Different endpoint PIDs may independently host the same repo.
Outbound messages are observed by TAMQ's explicit PTY broker. A worker
`To:<registered-repo>:` line begins a block that closes on an empty line, a new
address, or worker exit; operator input is one addressed line. TAMQ preserves
ordinary terminal bytes and records distinct worker/operator provenance.
If observation is unavailable, TAMQ leaves ordinary terminal use unchanged and
does not fall back to pane scraping. Operators may explicitly use
`tamq send 'To:repo: message'` as a degraded path.
tmux-amq MUST retain a local message history sufficient to inspect delivery
state and export it to a messages file. It MUST also support replaying a
messages file into a selected endpoint. Replay creates a new batch identifier,
passes each entry through normal gita-target validation, policy checks, and
deduplication, and records the original message ID as provenance. Replay MUST
not bypass safety gates or silently overwrite an existing message.
History files use newline-delimited JSON (JSONL): one complete message envelope
per line, including message ID, sender/target, body, timestamps, state, and
replay provenance. JSONL exports are appendable and replayable as streams.
The repository is `tmux-amq`, but its executable is `tamq` (Tmux Agentic Message
Queueing). It MUST provide conventional Unix CLI behavior, including
`--help`/`-h`, `--version`/`-V`, non-zero exit status on errors, diagnostics on
stderr, and machine-readable output options where commands produce records.
Default filesystem locations follow XDG conventions:
```text
config: ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/tamq/config.toml
state: ${XDG_STATE_HOME:-$HOME/.local/state}/tamq/tamq.sqlite3
socket: ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:-/tmp}/tamq.sock
```
`TAMQ_CONFIG`, `TAMQ_STATE_DIR`, `TAMQ_SOCKET`, and `TAMQ_POLICY_PROFILE` may
override these defaults. The CLI MUST provide tab completion through
`tamq completion bash|zsh|fish` and expose completion for subcommands,
options, and known gita repository targets.
Version 0.1 supports direct addressing only. Unknown or unregistered targets
are rejected; there is no broadcast or wildcard routing. Coordination-engine
resolves exactly one currently registered TAMQ endpoint for the target; zero is
unavailable and multiple matches require an explicit endpoint ID. It does not
implicitly create a session or choose a pane occupant. The sender label is
derived from the structured request or authenticated source window, not message
text.
Delivery acknowledgment is configurable and defaults to `injected`, meaning the
message is considered transport-delivered once TAMQ successfully writes it to
the target terminal. `acknowledged` enters `awaiting_ack` and redelivers the same
message ID after its deadline. Attempts, write failures, lease expiry, backoff,
and terminal `failed` state are durable and bounded by the selected profile. A
late acknowledgement wins; terminal retry is explicit. Duplicate terminal
presentation is possible and neither delivery mode proves agent comprehension
or task completion.
Coordination-engine uses its coordination lease ID as TAMQ's idempotency key and
the trigger revision as correlation ID. Repeating an identical wake returns the
original TAMQ message ID; reusing the lease ID for a different request fails.
The client opens a new authenticated socket connection per operation, so
receipt recovery after broker restart uses `message` or `history` rather than a
connection session. If the bound endpoint disappears, repeating the identical
wake may rebind the same durable message ID to its one replacement endpoint;
TAMQ refuses implicit movement while the old endpoint remains live.
Message bodies are human-readable UTF-8 plain text, limited to 8 KiB and
preserving multiline content. The transport envelope carries structured IDs,
sender/target slugs, timestamps, and policy metadata. Binary payloads and
oversized bodies are rejected. Message text is never interpreted as task or
workplan state.
On attach, `tmux-amq` connects to a coordination-engine Unix domain socket and
performs a handshake, receiving a unique
`coordination_endpoint_id`. That identifier namespaces all messages and leases
originating from the connected endpoint, so local IDs can safely be reused
across different machines or sessions without cross-endpoint collision.
Coordination-engine MUST treat `(coordination_endpoint_id, local_message_id)`
as the message identity and preserve the endpoint ID in receipts.
The socket protocol MUST use structured messages and authenticate the peer by
filesystem ownership/permissions. The default deployment runs both processes
under the same approved local user, uses socket mode `0600`, and validates Unix
peer credentials; bearer tokens in command lines are not required. The initial
handshake includes the gita
registered repository slugs, tmux session name, and agent command; the response
contains the endpoint ID and negotiated lease/receipt capabilities. No TCP
listener is required for the local integration.
coordination-engine MUST refresh the local gita registry before accepting an
attach or addressing a target. It accepts only exact registered repository
slugs, requires the attached session to report the matching slug/path, and
never auto-clones or auto-registers a repository.
The adapter interface is:
```yaml
WakeRequest:
lease_id: string
target_repo: string # must be gita-registered and an active tmux-amq target
target_agent: string?
trigger: WorkerTrigger
checkpoint: Checkpoint?
prompt: string
WakeAck:
lease_id: string
session_id: string
accepted_at: timestamp
capability: resumed | started | unavailable
```
The prompt is generated from the trigger and the standard continuation policy;
it MUST contain no secret values. The target agent remains the authority for
editing files, calling tools, and updating State Hub.
## 6. Checkpoints and standard continuation policy
Agents SHOULD publish a checkpoint before yielding or stopping:
```yaml
Checkpoint:
lease_id: string
task_id: string?
summary: string
files_changed: [string]
next_action: string?
blocked_reason: human | secret | destructive | policy | dependency | unavailable | null
recorded_at: timestamp
```
When a lease is resumed, the service supplies the latest checkpoint and asks
the agent to continue. The following policy templates are recognized, in order:
1. inspect open work and implement the highest-priority actionable item;
2. if no work is open, reconcile `SCOPE.md` with `INTENT.md`, record gaps under
`history/`, and create/register a workplan for the most relevant gap;
3. review pending work, refine it where needed, and implement the next safe item;
4. if no safe work remains, close the session and write a perspective entry to
the configured `hall-of-helix` destination.
Templates are suggestions, not permission to bypass safety gates or invent
scope. A repository may override them through its agent instructions.
### 6.1 Policy profiles
Automatic behavior is selected through named policy profiles rather than code
changes. The default profile is conservative:
```yaml
policy:
profile: default
profiles:
default:
allow: [statehub_read, repo_inspect, repo_edit, local_checks,
state_updates, coordination_messages, tmux_wake, transient_retry]
require_human: [secrets, destructive, live_external, scope_change,
ambiguous_ownership, external_publish, financial, legal]
safety_gated_max_attempts: 0
```
Profiles MUST be selected by configuration, validated at startup, and included
by name/version in every lease and receipt. A profile cannot grant access to
credentials that are unavailable through the configured credential-routing
system, and every profile remains subject to authentication and repository
boundary checks.
## 7. Receipts and observability
Every trigger, lease transition, wake attempt, checkpoint, stop, retry, and
completion MUST emit a sanitized progress/audit receipt containing identifiers,
status, reason, timestamps, and retry metadata. Receipts MUST exclude prompt
secrets, credentials, payload contents, and unrestricted terminal output.
The service SHOULD publish receipts through State Hub progress/events and retain
enough correlation data to explain why a dependent task was (or was not) woken.
## 8. Ownership boundary
Repositories publish workplan/task/message state and consume wake requests. They
MUST NOT add independent polling daemons for this feature. Coordination-engine
owns the service process, observation, lease/deduplication, retry policy, and
wake dispatch. State Hub owns durable task/message state. Terminal/session
control is a pluggable adapter owned by coordination-engine and deployed with
the runtime; its underlying bridge remains an external dependency.
## 9. Operator decisions required before implementation
The following choices cannot be inferred safely from repository documents:
1. Which terminal/session bridge is authorized to wake or resume workers?
2. What local SQLite retention and backup policy should be used for leases and
receipts?
3. Default polling interval, lease duration, renewal interval, and retry limit?
4. Which actions are pre-approved policies versus always human-gated?
5. What service identity and authentication path may write State Hub and invoke
the wake adapter?
6. Which Unix socket path and filesystem ownership should the local deployment
use?
### 9.1 Runtime configuration
The following values MUST be configurable without code changes:
```yaml
coordination:
statehub_poll_interval_seconds: 15
wake_ack_timeout_seconds: 30
lease_renew_interval_seconds: 10
retry_backoff_seconds: [5, 15, 60, 300]
max_attempts: 4
safety_gated_max_attempts: 0
delivery_ack_mode: injected # injected | acknowledged
```
Deployments may choose different values, including up to nine attempts. The
service MUST validate `max_attempts` and `safety_gated_max_attempts` in the
range 0..9 and record the effective configuration version in receipts.
State Hub observation uses the configured polling interval (15 seconds by
default), backs off exponentially while unavailable, and resumes promptly when
connectivity returns. Local tmux-amq messaging is never blocked by State Hub
outages; receipt projections are queued for asynchronous publication.
The State Hub endpoint is configurable through `STATEHUB_API_BASE` or
`statehub.api_base`, defaulting to `http://127.0.0.1:8000`. Credentials MUST be
resolved through the approved credential-routing mechanism and never stored in
tamq configuration, SQLite, JSONL exports, tmux commands, or receipts. Missing
credentials leave local messaging operational while State Hub projections stay
pending.
`tamq status` exposes live endpoint/session, queue, lease, and State Hub
connectivity information. `tamq history` exposes full local delivery history;
State Hub receives sanitized receipts and correlation IDs only. Message bodies
remain local unless explicitly exported to JSONL.
History is never deleted automatically. When invoked without explicit filters,
`tamq purge` uses dynamic defaults equivalent to `--before 365d` and
`--max-size 100MB`; purge requires confirmation and may be preceded by JSONL
export. On startup, if history exceeds 100 MB, tamq prints an advisory such as:
`Size of history is NNN MB since YYMMDD, exceeding 100MB. Consider using 'tamq purge'.`
`tamq purge` performs a dry-run summary by default, reporting the matching
message count, date range, and estimated bytes. Interactive execution requires
explicit confirmation; non-interactive execution requires `--yes`. Combined
filters are allowed, and each purge emits a receipt containing filters and
counts without message bodies.
`tamq start` creates or reuses the tmux server/windows and starts the local
service; `tamq serve` runs the Unix-socket service in the foreground; `tamq stop`
stops the service without killing worker terminals or deleting queues. The
initial repo-opening command MUST ensure the service is alive and start it
automatically when absent. Startup is idempotent and lock-protected so two
concurrent repo opens cannot create duplicate services. `--detach` is required
to daemonize; foreground operation is the default for diagnostics.
If automatic startup fails, tamq reports the error on stderr, returns non-zero,
does not register an endpoint or claim delivery, and leaves existing sessions
and SQLite data untouched. `--no-service` may explicitly open terminals without
messaging, with a visible warning.
## 10. Logging and diagnostics
Foreground `tamq serve` logs to stderr. Detached operation logs to
`${XDG_STATE_HOME:-$HOME/.local/state}/tamq/tamq.log`. The default level is
`info`; `--quiet` suppresses non-errors, `--verbose` enables debug diagnostics,
and `--json` requests structured output where applicable. Message bodies,
credentials, tokens, and unrestricted PTY output are omitted by default.
`--orwell` is an explicitly unsafe, non-production diagnostic mode that logs
otherwise-omitted diagnostic fields, including message bodies and credential
material when available. It MUST be supplied per invocation, emit a prominent
warning, write only to a local mode-`0600` sink, never project to State Hub, and
be rejected by the default production policy profile. Operators are responsible
for purging Orwell logs after diagnosis.
This practice is proposed for canonization as the InfoTechCanon PracticePattern
`practice-pattern/orwell-logging-diagnostics` (`OrwellLoggingDiagnostics`). The
canonical owner is info-tech-canon; tamq is a concrete known use, not the owner
of the general practice.
The first runtime implementation uses Python 3.11+ and should prefer standard
library components (`sqlite3`, `asyncio`, Unix sockets, and CLI primitives) so
local installation remains small and reliable.
The project is packaged through a root `pyproject.toml` with a `tamq` console
entry point. It must support `uv tool install .`, editable development installs,
and package-derived `tamq --version` output.
Verification uses layered tests: pytest unit tests for state/config/protocol
logic; Unix-socket integration tests with fake tmux-amq peers; fake State Hub
and gita registry tests; CLI behavior tests; and opt-in live smoke tests only
when explicitly configured. Tests must not require credentials or mutate live
systems.
The Unix-socket protocol is versioned independently from package versions,
starting at `0.1`. Attach handshakes negotiate protocol version and capabilities;
incompatible major versions are rejected, compatible minor versions may
interoperate, and the negotiated values are retained in endpoint/receipt data.
SQLite stores an explicit schema version. Startup applies forward migrations in
transactions, creates a timestamped backup before altering message/lease
tables, and refuses to run against a newer schema. Message history is never
silently dropped; `tamq db-version` reports the current schema.
SQLite uses WAL mode, foreign-key enforcement, and a configurable busy timeout
(5 seconds by default). Queue and lease transitions are transactional, with a
single coordination-engine writer path and concurrent readers. Transient busy
errors may retry without creating duplicate messages.
On `SIGTERM` or `SIGINT`, the service stops accepting socket requests and new
leases, finishes the current transaction, marks the endpoint disconnected,
closes the socket, preserves queues/leases for recovery, emits a sanitized
shutdown receipt, and exits within a configurable grace period (10 seconds by
default).
Default CI gates are `uv run pytest`, `git diff --check`,
`python -m compileall src`, `tamq --help`, and `tamq --version`; package
install/build and live smoke checks are separate opt-in jobs.
Health is local-only: `tamq status` is human-readable, `tamq status --json` is
machine-readable, and `tamq ping` performs a lightweight Unix-socket liveness
check. Status separates process/socket, SQLite, gita registry, State Hub, queue,
and lease health; no TCP health port is exposed.
Status: local-alpha implementation; operational defaults approved in WP-0003-T02.
Owner: coordination-engine. Transport owner: tmux-amq. State owner: repositories
and State Hub's file-backed projections.
This revision reconciles the original proposal with TAMQ's implemented
`spec/coordination-engine-adapter-v0.1.md`. The original requirements are retained
in `history/260907-worker-coordination-service-v0.1-proposal.md`; TAMQ-specific
CLI, history, replay, endpoint registration and logging requirements belong to
that repository. This package installs `coordination-engine`, never `tamq`.
## Observation and actionability
The runtime polls State Hub's repos, workplans, tasks, dependency edges and unread
messages. It dispatches only after a complete successful snapshot, only for
explicitly configured gita repositories. It refreshes gita before addressing a
TAMQ target and on worker updates; it never clones or registers repositories.
Task triggers require ready/active workplans, todo/progress task status, and
satisfied workplan/workplan or workplan/task dependencies. Wait tasks remain
waiting until their authoritative status changes. Unknown dependency types or
missing targets wait. The Hub's edge direction is `from_workplan_id` depends on
`to_workplan_id` or `to_task_id`.
The current Hub has no action-request flag on messages. An unread, unarchived
message whose subject starts with `[action]` requests inspection. Other messages
do not wake workers. Message text never grants authority or changes workflow
state. Generic free-text progress records are not interpreted as checkpoints;
workers publish structured checkpoints through the local control socket.
A normalized trigger has source (`task`, `message`, `checkpoint`), source ID,
source revision, repository and trigger ID. The ID hashes the tuple
`(source, source_id, source_revision, repo)`. Revisions hash the relevant observed
record, plan and dependency state, so dependency completion is reconsidered even
when the task timestamp does not change. Payload text is not retained locally
as trigger data and is never copied to a wake prompt.
## Policy and safety
The named `default` policy permits repository inspection, authorized edits,
local checks, state updates and tmux wakes; configuration may narrow this set.
Unknown profiles/action classes are refused. Human flags, intervention notes,
blocking reasons and conservative sensitive-action text detection stop a
trigger. Sensitive retries are always zero in v0.1. Text detection adds stops;
it does not authorize arbitrary source text. Workers must independently recheck
current repository instructions, scope, dependency state and authority.
Authentication failures, unregistered/mismatched targets, incompatible protocol
and ambiguous endpoints stop the lease. Missing endpoints and ordinary transport
failures use bounded backoff. No safety stop silently reroutes to another worker.
A new source revision may be evaluated normally; the same stopped revision is
never automatically reset. A changed runtime configuration stops pending leases
created under the old configuration rather than silently changing their policy.
## Leases, checkpoints and completion
SQLite stores unique trigger and coordination lease IDs, source/revision/repo,
state, attempts, expiry, retry deadline, policy/configuration versions, checkpoint,
and TAMQ endpoint/message/transport state. State transitions and audit receipts
are committed together. One unexpired offered/acknowledged/running lease per
repository prevents overlapping automatic wakes, including across task revisions.
States are pending, waiting, offered, acknowledged, running, checkpointed,
retry_wait, completed and stopped. Every transition emits a sanitized receipt.
Workers acknowledge before work, renew while active, and checkpoint or complete.
Unknown, expired, terminal and wrong-repository lease updates are rejected.
Transport recovery repeats the same coordination lease ID and identical prompt.
TAMQ deduplicates admission and returns its original message ID. Expiry/failure
uses configurable bounded backoff and a 0–9 attempt ceiling. Already delivered
TAMQ messages are not forcibly reinjected by coordination retry; an unresponsive
worker eventually stops for review. Terminal TAMQ failure stops coordination.
A normal checkpoint ends its lease and creates a new checkpoint trigger/lease,
linked through `source_id` to the parent trigger. This continuation is a new wake,
not a transport retry. The worker reads its parent's local checkpoint before
resuming. Checkpoints allow summary, files_changed, next_action and blocked_reason
within 8 KiB; contents stay local. Any blocked_reason stops automatic continuation.
TAMQ injected/acknowledged means transport delivery, never task completion.
Completion requires a worker completion operation or authoritative task done.
Source removal or other superseding changes stop stale leases. A safe status
revision does not revoke an unexpired active worker merely to issue another wake.
## TAMQ boundary
Coordination-engine connects to the configured TAMQ Unix socket as the same
approved local user. It checks socket ownership/mode 0600 and Linux SO_PEERCRED,
negotiates protocol 0.1 through ping, and requires `bounded_delivery_ack_v1` and
`idempotent_send_v1`. Each operation opens a fresh authenticated connection.
Exactly one live endpoint must advertise the selected gita repository. Multiple
matches require configured endpoint_id; zero is unavailable. TAMQ validates its
registered repository paths and owns endpoint lifecycle. Coordination-engine
checks any advertised path and never controls tmux directly.
The send envelope uses client_id/sender_repo `coordination-engine`, lease ID as
idempotency_key, trigger ID as correlation_id, exact target/endpoint, provenance
`coordination_engine`, structured lease/trigger metadata and a standard plain-text
prompt. TAMQ owns its 8 KiB body limit, queue, delivery acknowledgement profile,
local leases, retry timing and durable admission. The coordination runtime never
resets a failed TAMQ message automatically. Receipt recovery uses `message` after
restart; endpoint ID and message ID are preserved as the correlated pair.
The original inbound attach/handshake proposal is superseded: no second TAMQ
registration socket is introduced. The separate coordination control socket
serves ping, status, stop and structured worker ack/renew/checkpoint/complete
operations over newline-delimited JSON with an `op` field. It accepts same-user
peers only, enforces a 16 KiB request limit, validates selected/gita repository
claims, and returns JSON `ok` responses. It is a same-user trust boundary.
## Storage, lifecycle and configuration
Python 3.11+, standard-library runtime dependencies, root pyproject.toml, uv
install/editable support. See `docs/worker-runtime.md` for the exact TOML schema,
XDG paths, overrides, CLI, worker examples, backups and restore procedure.
Operator-approved operational defaults: 15-second polling, 30-second leases, 10-second
renewal, four attempts, 5/15/60/300-second delays, five-second adapter/busy timeout,
private mode-0700 state and mode-0600 sockets/databases/backups. Explicit repo
selection is mandatory; package installation never enables a service.
SQLite uses WAL and foreign keys. Schema upgrades are transactional, snapshot
existing tables before migrations, and reject newer versions. History is never
automatically removed. Backup uses SQLite's consistent backup API. An exclusive
writer lock prevents concurrent service/once dispatch. SIGINT/SIGTERM stops new
work, preserves durable leases and removes the control socket. The synchronous
local-alpha polling implementation is intended for small local worker sets;
control calls can wait for an observation pass. See the runbook's timing caveat.
Hub outages suspend new wakes and back polling off to 300 seconds. TAMQ local
messaging remains independent. Receipt projection retries from a local outbox;
projection is at least once, with a stable receipt ID in `detail.id`. Edge-relay
queued responses remain pending evidence. Credentials are not configuration and
must follow the approved credential-routing subsystem if access is unavailable.
## Diagnostics and verification
Default errors omit arbitrary remote exception text. Audit receipts contain only
IDs, state/reason codes, timestamps, retry metadata and policy/configuration
versions. No source bodies, checkpoint text, credentials or terminal output are
projected. Local status/history may expose checkpoints to the approved user.
TAMQ owns unsafe `--orwell` diagnostics. Coordination-engine has no unsafe sink.
`docs/orwell-logging-diagnostics-candidate.md` records the candidate practice;
canonical review/registration remains with info-tech-canon, tracked separately
in COORDINATION-WP-0004 with operator approval.
Default checks: `uv run pytest`, `git diff --check`, compileall, CLI help/version.
Tests exercise SQLite durability and locking, fake State Hub and gita, actual
local sockets with fake TAMQ peers, CLI behavior, service stop/restart, safety,
dependencies and checkpoint continuation. Package builds and explicitly enabled
read-only live adapter discovery are separate checks. No credential or live
worker mutation is required by the test suite.

# Worker coordination service contract
Define and implement the cross-repository worker wake-up and
dependency-coordination capability requested by net-kingdom. Coordination-engine
owns the protocol and runtime. State Hub and the separate `tmux-amq` local tmux
message queue are adapters. Only gita-registered repos are valid worker targets.
Implement cross-repository worker wake-up and dependency coordination requested
by net-kingdom. Coordination-engine owns observation, policy, coordination leases,
checkpoints and receipts. State Hub and standalone tmux-amq are adapters. Only
explicitly selected, gita-registered repos are valid worker targets.
2026-09-07: finished. The operator approved the documented deployment defaults
and transfer of canon review/registration to COORDINATION-WP-0004. Implementation
and local verification are complete. The service has not been enabled or used
to inject a live worker wake.
## Publish the v0.1 contract

```
Authored `spec/worker-coordination-service-v0.1.md`, covering State Hub
observation, actionability gates, leases, deduplication, wake requests,
checkpoints, retries, safety stops, receipts, and operator decisions.
Authored `spec/worker-coordination-service-v0.1.md`. Reconciled on 2026-09-07 with
TAMQ's implemented adapter and the local-alpha runtime. The original speculative
proposal is preserved under `history/260907-worker-coordination-service-v0.1-proposal.md`.
The separate `coordination-engine` executable avoids replacing TAMQ's own `tamq`
CLI. TAMQ owns endpoint registration, transport profiles, queue/history/export/
replay, session lifecycle and unsafe local diagnostics. See ADR-002.
## Agree adapter and deployment decisions
```task
id: COORDINATION-WP-0003-T02
status: wait
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "1a428ed2-01d4-5af7-9341-db83712da9d9"
```
The local transport is a Unix domain socket. Coordination-engine uses local
SQLite for coordination leases, deduplication, and receipts, projecting
sanitized state to State Hub. Net-kingdom/operator must choose the socket
path (same-user mode `0600` by default), `tmux-amq` handshake fields, SQLite
retention/backup policy, timers/retry defaults, the configured policy profile,
and strict gita registry validation. Policy profiles define the allowed and
human-gated action classes. v0.1 uses direct-only routing; broadcast is deferred.
Delivery acknowledgment is configurable and defaults to `injected`; this layer
does not duplicate State Hub task/workplan state.
Message bodies are UTF-8 plain text with an 8 KiB limit and structured metadata
kept in the transport envelope.
Endpoint identity is `tmux-amq-<tmux-server-PID>`; each endpoint has at most one
tmux window per gita repository.
tmux-amq must support local history inspection, export to a messages file, and
safe replay of that file through normal routing and policy checks.
History is retained by default; explicit `tamq purge` uses `--before 365d` and
`--max-size 100MB` defaults, with a startup advisory when history exceeds 100MB.
The service uses `tamq start`/`serve`/`stop`; first repo opening auto-starts an
absent service with an idempotent lock-protected check.
Logging defaults to safe stderr/file output; `--orwell` is an explicit,
non-production, local-only mode for otherwise-omitted sensitive diagnostics.
Implemented boundary: consume the published TAMQ v0.1 socket protocol, negotiate
required capabilities, preserve endpoint/message identity, refresh gita and
require exact configured targets. TAMQ remains responsible for slug/path
registration and local delivery. Coordination-engine does not introduce a second
inbound TAMQ attach handshake.
Approved deployment defaults are in `docs/worker-runtime.md` and
`docs/adr/002-worker-runtime-boundary.md`: same approved Unix user, mode-0600
sockets, explicit TAMQ socket, private XDG coordination state, retained history,
SQLite snapshots before migrations, 15-second polling, 30-second lease,
10-second renewal, four attempts, 5/15/60/300-second delays, zero safety retries,
and a conservative default policy. Repository selection is mandatory and empty
by default. No credentials are stored in configuration.
2026-09-07: operator explicitly approved these defaults in response to the
closure request. This records configuration decisions; live service activation
remains a separate operational action requiring selected repository targets.
## Establish OrwellLoggingDiagnostics practice pattern
```task
id: COORDINATION-WP-0003-T04
status: wait
status: done
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "4ba98e37-cd98-5fb6-9065-4d241dfbabd2"
```
Requested candidate canon artifact `practice-pattern/orwell-logging-diagnostics`
from info-tech-canon, with tamq as the first known use. Await canonical owner
review and registration.
Prepared `docs/orwell-logging-diagnostics-candidate.md` for
`practice-pattern/orwell-logging-diagnostics`, with TAMQ as the known consumer.
Coordination-engine emits sanitized receipts and has no unsafe logging mode.
The first runtime implementation is Python 3.11+ with standard-library-first
dependencies.
Package through root `pyproject.toml` with a `tamq` console entry point and uv
install/editable-install support.
Verification uses pytest unit, fake-peer integration, CLI, and opt-in live
smoke tests without production credentials.
Default CI gates: `uv run pytest`, `git diff --check`, compileall, and tamq
help/version checks; package and live smoke checks remain opt-in.
The executable name is `tamq`, with Unix-standard `--help`/`-h` and
`--version`/`-V` flags.
Use XDG config/state/runtime paths with environment overrides and provide
`tamq completion bash|zsh|fish` for tab expansion.
`tmux-amq` independently owns its durable queue and local delivery leases.
Lease/retry timing and attempt counts are configuration parameters; the retry
ceiling is 9, while safety-gated retries default to 0 and require explicit
policy. Runtime ownership is coordination-engine;
tmux/session ownership is `tmux-amq`.
No matching canonical artifact was found in the current info-tech-canon checkout.
Its `infospace/assimilation/intake-and-assimilation-practice.md` requires explicit
owner disposition before registration. Owner review/registration remains pending.
2026-09-07: operator explicitly approved moving canon review/registration to
`workplans/COORDINATION-WP-0004-orwell-canon-review.md`. T04 closes with the
prepared candidate and approved scope transfer; canonical acceptance is not
claimed. The follow-up preserves owner disposition and registration criteria.
## Implement the coordination runtime
```task
id: COORDINATION-WP-0003-T03
status: wait
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "074e42ed-2049-5379-aac8-bb3b88672f60"
```
Deferred while `tmux-amq` is bootstrapped as the standalone local queue and
tmux control-mode endpoint. Coordination-engine integration will follow the
stable tamq Unix-socket protocol.
Implemented Python 3.11+ standard-library runtime with uv packaging and a
`coordination-engine` entry point. Includes:
- State Hub observation, task/workplan dependencies, explicit actionable inbox
markers, complete-snapshot gating and outage backoff.
- Same-user TAMQ socket client, version/capability negotiation, exact endpoint
selection, fresh gita validation and idempotent admission.
- Transactional SQLite leases/receipts, per-repo exclusion, bounded retries,
restart recovery, schema guard, snapshots and private local storage.
- Worker ack/renew/checkpoint/complete control socket; checkpoint continuation
receives a new linked trigger while transport recovery preserves lease identity.
- Conservative safety stops, sanitized durable projection outbox, safe diagnostics,
CLI help/version/completion, foreground lifecycle and a deployment/recovery runbook.
Validation on 2026-09-07: `make check` passes (54 tests passed, one opt-in live
smoke skipped; diff whitespace, compileall and help/version pass). `uv build`
produces wheel and source distribution. Tests use fake HTTP/gita/TAMQ peers,
actual temporary Unix sockets and foreground service stop/restart. No production
credentials, live worker injection, or deployment were required. The synchronous
local-alpha observer's small-worker-set limitation is documented in the runbook.
