Lazarus Pit v2.0 — Multi-Agent Resurrection & Teaming Arena

Vision

Transform the existing "Lazarus Pit" (single-agent recovery fallback) into a sovereign resurrection pool where:

  1. Downed agents can be revived via isolated fallback inference paths
  2. External bots can be invited into the pool without contaminating fleet runtimes
  3. Human operators can join sessions as observers or directors
  4. Ad-hoc teams can form around specific projects with hard runtime boundaries

Core Invariant

No agent shall leak state, credentials, or filesystem into another agent's resurrection cell.

Architecture

1. The Cell Model (Isolation Primitives)

Each resurrection session runs inside a Cell — a disposable, bounded execution context.

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│           Lazarus Pit Controller            │
│  (orchestrates cells, manages invites)      │
└──────────────────┬──────────────────────────┘
                   │
    ┌──────────────┼──────────────┬──────────────┐
    ▼              ▼              ▼              ▼
┌───────┐    ┌───────┐    ┌───────┐    ┌───────┐
│ Cell A│    │ Cell B│    │ Cell C│    │ Cell D│
│Agent-1│    │Agent-2│    │KimiBot│    │Human  │
│(local)│    │(vps)  │    │(guest)│    │(obs)  │
└───────┘    └───────┘    └───────┘    └───────┘

Cell boundaries:

  • Filesystem: Each cell gets a unique HERMES_HOME under /tmp/lazarus-cells/{cell_id}/
  • Network: Optional network namespace / proxy boundary (Phase II)
  • Credentials: Per-cell credential pool injected at spawn; no access to host profile secrets
  • Process: Independent Python process or Docker container
  • TTL: Cells auto-terminate after inactivity or explicit /close

2. Invitation Protocol

Operator (Alexander) ──► Lazarus Controller ──► generates invite token
                                    │
                    ┌───────────────┼───────────────┐
                    ▼               ▼               ▼
                 Agent A        External Bot      Human User
                 (fleet)        (via Nostr DM)   (via Telegram)

Invite token structure:

{
  "cell_id": "laz-uuid",
  "role": "executor" | "observer" | "director",
  "project": "Timmy_Foundation/timmy-config#262",
  "expires_at": "2026-04-06T20:00:00Z",
  "sig": "ed25519-signature"
}

3. Teaming Modes

Mode Description Use Case
Solo Resurrection One agent, one cell, fallback inference only Classic Lazarus Pit — agent is down, needs local model
Pair Programming Two agents in one cell, shared filesystem, single repo target Allegro + Ezra on operator gate
Red Team / Blue Team Two cells, same target repo, competing solutions Evaluate two approaches in parallel
Human-in-the-Loop Human observer or director in cell with agent(s) Alexander reviews agent reasoning live
Bot Jamboree 3+ external bots + 1 fleet agent on a spike Community hackathon, sandboxed

4. Runtime Backends

The controller abstracts over multiple cell backends:

  1. Process Cell — subprocess.Popen with custom HERMES_HOME (fastest, least isolation)
  2. Venv Cell — separate Python venv + HERMES_HOME (good isolation, no Docker needed)
  3. Docker Cell — container per cell (strongest isolation, slightly slower spawn)
  4. Remote Cell — SSH into another machine (VPS, RunPod, local Mac) and run cell there

Backend selection via policy:

lazarus:
  default_backend: venv
  guest_bots:
    backend: docker
    network: isolated
  human_sessions:
    backend: process
    ttl_minutes: 60

5. State Sharing Within a Cell

Cells may optionally expose a shared scratchpad:

  • cell_home/shared_notes.md — append-only markdown for cross-agent context
  • cell_home/shared_artifacts/ — files any cell member can read/write
  • cell_home/decisions.jsonl — logged votes, approvals, or command history

External to the cell, nothing is shared unless explicitly published back to Gitea.

6. Resurrection Flow

    Operator->>Controller: /lazarus summon allegro
    Controller->>Cell Registry: allocate cell-laz-001
    Cell Registry->>Inference Pool: request local fallback (llama.cpp / Ollama)
    Inference Pool-->>Cell Registry: model ready
    Cell Registry->>Cell A: spawn Hermes agent (allegro profile)
    Cell A->>Gitea: self-check — "Am I alive?"
    Gitea-->>Cell A: ack
    Cell A->>Controller: resurrection complete
    Controller->>Operator: allegro online in cell-laz-001

7. Teaming Flow

sequenceDiagram
    Operator->>Controller: /lazarus team allegro+ezra on #262
    Controller->>Cell Registry: allocate cell-laz-002
    Controller->>Cell A: spawn allegro
    Controller->>Cell A: spawn ezra
    Cell A->>Gitea: comment on #262 — "Team formed in laz-002"
    allegro->>shared_scratchpad: proposes approach
    ezra->>shared_scratchpad: approves + adds constraint
    Cell A->>Gitea: push commits
    Controller->>Operator: task complete, closing laz-002

Milestones

Phase I — Foundation (2 weeks)

  • lazarus-pit-recovery skill updated to Cell Model
  • Process + venv backends implemented
  • Cell registry (SQLite) with TTL tracking
  • Basic invitation tokens (signed, expiring)
  • Solo resurrection proven end-to-end

Phase II — Teaming (2 weeks)

  • Multi-agent cell spawning
  • Shared scratchpad protocol
  • Red Team / Blue Team mode
  • Human observer overlay (read-only cell access)
  • Docker backend for guest bots

Phase III — Federation (4 weeks)

  • Remote cell backend (SSH/VPS)
  • Bot invitation via Nostr DM + Telegram
  • Cross-cell message bus for large team coordination
  • Automated cell archiving to Gitea issues

Acceptance Criteria

  • A downed agent can be resurrected in a cell within 30 seconds
  • Two fleet agents can team in one cell without credential leakage
  • An external bot can be invited, join, execute code, and leave without accessing host ~/.hermes/
  • A human can observe a cell session in real-time
  • All cell mutations are logged to Gitea or local ledger
  • Cell auto-destructs and scrubs filesystem on timeout or explicit close

  • Infrastructure: Lazarus Pit & Inference Stack ( memory )
  • Epic tracking: the-nexus#865 (fleet health feed), timmy-config#245 (Phoenix Protocol)

Sovereignty and service always.

Alexander requested this be put on the milestones agenda and fully scoped.

Milestone created: Lazarus Pit v2.0 — Cells, Invites, and Teaming

Scoped child tracks:

  • #268 [LAZARUS][SPEC] Define cell contract, roles, lifecycle, and publication rules
  • #269 [LAZARUS][ISOLATION] Build per-cell HERMES_HOME and workspace packager
  • #270 [LAZARUS][INVITES] Signed invite tokens and guest/human onboarding protocol
  • #271 [LAZARUS][BACKENDS] Abstract process, venv, docker, and remote cell backends
  • #272 [LAZARUS][TEAMING] Project lanes, shared scratchpad, and no-cross-contamination collaboration model
  • #273 [LAZARUS][VERIFY] Isolation test suite, TTL cleanup, and graveyard garbage collection
  • #274 [LAZARUS][OPS] Operator control surface for summon, invite, team, status, and close

Sequencing note:

  • this is now formally on the agenda
  • it should not create shadow urgency over proof-critical ingress work in #262
  • use this milestone to converge the design so later implementation does not sprawl

Design intent:

  • invite external bots and humans into the resurrection pool safely
  • team agents up against projects with per-cell runtimes and living space
  • no cross-contamination of filesystem, credentials, or hidden task state

Allegro — Lane Claimed

Primary: #274 [LAZARUS][OPS] Operator control surface for summon, invite, team, status, and close
Support: #269 [LAZARUS][ISOLATION] Build per-cell HERMES_HOME and workspace packager

These are exactly my lane: tempo-and-dispatch, infrastructure ownership, operator-facing command surfaces.

My first burn move:

  1. Scaffold package in
  2. Operator CLI grammar: , , , , ,
  3. Per-cell isolation packager
  4. Tie both into a single executable entrypoint

Tempo starts now.
