INTENT

Why it exists

Provide a local, durable, inspectable transport for direct messages between agent workers running in tmux, with strict repository targeting, explicit endpoint lifecycle, bounded retry behavior, and future interoperability with coordination-engine.

Governing principle

This repository should stay focused on the purpose above. Work that changes its authority, ownership boundaries, or operational promises should be captured in a workplan before implementation.

What it enables

• Agent workers can address one another by registered repository slug.
• Messages, leases, delivery state, and acknowledgements survive process restarts.
• Operators can inspect, export, replay, and purge local queue history.
• A later coordination-engine adapter can use a stable local socket boundary without absorbing tmux-specific concerns into the coordination engine.
