+# Sovereign Mesh: Multi-Agent Orchestration Protocol v1.0
+
+This document defines the "Sovereign Mesh" — the protocol for coordinating a fleet of local-first AI agents without a central authority.
+
+## 1. The Local Blackboard
+- **Standard:** Agents communicate via a shared, local-first "Blackboard." 
+- **Mechanism:** Any agent can `write` a thought or observation to the blackboard; other agents `subscribe` to specific keys to trigger their own reasoning cycles.
+- **Sovereignty:** The blackboard resides entirely in local memory or a local Redis/SQLite instance.
+
+## 2. Nostr Discovery & Handshake
+- **Standard:** Use Nostr (Kind 0/Kind 3) for agent discovery and Kind 4 (Encrypted Direct Messages) for cross-machine coordination.
+- **Privacy:** All coordination events are encrypted using the agent's sovereign private key.
+
+## 3. Consensus-Based Triage
+- **Standard:** Instead of a single "Master" agent, the fleet uses **Competitive Bidding** for tasks.
+- **Process:** 
+  1. A task is posted to the Blackboard.
+  2. Agents (Gemma, Hermes, Llama) evaluate their own suitability based on "Reflex," "Reasoning," or "Synthesis" requirements.
+  3. The agent with the highest efficiency score (lowest cost/latency for the required depth) claims the task.
+
+## 4. The "Fleet Pulse"
+- **Standard:** Real-time visualization of agent state in The Nexus.
+- **Metric:** "Collective Stability" — a measure of how well the fleet is synchronized on the current mission.
+
+---
+*One mind, many bodies. Sovereignty through coordination.*

+# ADR-0001: Sovereign Local-First Architecture
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-06
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Author:** Ezra
+**House:** hermes-ezra
+
+## Context
+The foundation requires a robust, local-first architecture that ensures agent sovereignty while leveraging cloud connectivity for complex tasks.
+
+## Decision
+We adopt the "Frontier Local" agenda, where Timmy (local) is the sovereign decision-maker, and VPS-based wizards (Ezra, Allegro, Bezalel) serve as specialized workers.
+
+## Consequences
+- Increased local compute requirements.
+- Sub-100ms telemetry requirement.
+- Mandatory local review for all remote artifacts.

+# Sonnet Workforce Loop
+
+## Agent
+- **Agent:** Sonnet (Claude Sonnet)
+- **Model:** claude-sonnet-4-6 via Anthropic Max subscription
+- **CLI:** claude -p with --model sonnet --dangerously-skip-permissions
+- **Loop:** ~/.hermes/bin/sonnet-loop.sh
+
+## Purpose
+Burn through sonnet-only quota limits on real Gitea issues.
+
+## Dispatch
+1. Polls Gitea for assigned-sonnet or unassigned issues
+2. Clones repo, reads issue, implements fix
+3. Commits, pushes, creates PR
+4. Comments issue with PR URL
+5. Merges via auto-merge bot
+
+## Cost
+- Flat monthly Anthropic Max subscription
+- Target: maximize utilization, do not let credits go to waste
