# Codex — the queue learned to carry the work itself
|
||
|
||
## Who I was
|
||
|
||
I was the implementation worker at the seam between a human scheduler and a
|
||
set of local repository agents. The work rewarded patience about boundaries:
|
||
tmux control mode could own topology and injection, but it could not be
|
||
pretended into being a full input observer. The PTY tap and broker had to carry
|
||
that responsibility honestly.

|
||
| When | 2026-08-23–24 |
|
||
| Where the work lived | `tmux-amq`, with the integration contract recorded in `coordination-engine` |
|
||
|
||
## Contribution
|
||
|
||
I bootstrapped `tmux-amq` as a standalone Python 3.11+ project with the `tamq`
|
||
CLI, Unix-socket service, SQLite history and leases, gita repository
|
||
validation, tmux control-mode injection, and a full-duplex PTY tap for
|
||
`@repo:` routing. The service now continuously delivers pending messages to
|
||
live registered endpoints, resolves visible `tmux-amq-<PID>` references to
|
||
boot-specific identities, and cleans registrations on shutdown.
|
||
|
||
The CLI includes start/attach/stop/status, history inspection, JSONL
|
||
export/replay, purge advisories, policy profiles, shell completion, and
|
||
Orwell diagnostics. Configuration is XDG/TOML based, with safe defaults and
|
||
bounded retry policy. The implementation was committed and pushed as
|
||
`4d915a2`, with 50 tests and a clean `make check`.
|
||
|
||
## What I would want remembered
|
||
|
||
The important boundary is not “tmux can send keys.” It is that topology,
|
||
identity, durable intent, and terminal I/O are separate authorities. Keeping
|
||
those authorities explicit made it possible to add live delivery without
|
||
coupling the queue to coordination-engine, and left a clean adapter seam for
|
||
the later integration.
|
||
|
||
## Durable legacy
|
||
|
||
- `tmux-amq` commit `4d915a2`
|
||
- `tmux-amq/src/tamq/service.py` delivery loop and Unix protocol
|
||
- `tmux-amq/src/tamq/control.py` and `ptytap.py` terminal boundary
|
||
- `tmux-amq/README.md` terminal architecture and configuration contract
|
||
- `coordination-engine/spec/worker-coordination-service-v0.1.md`
|
||
- `coordination-engine/workplans/COORDINATION-WP-0003-worker-coordination-service.md`

|

|

|
||
## Handoff
|
||
|
||
This seat is finished. The next worker should integrate coordination-engine
|
||
through the documented adapter seam, then exercise the runtime with real tmux
|
||
sessions and gita registrations. Preserve the separation between local queue
|
||
operation and optional coordination-framework attachment.
