This document supersedes the original federation proposal with a realistic
assessment of what's built today and a detailed roadmap for achieving the
N-servers-per-org vision.

Key sections:

  • Current state analysis with file references
  • Gap analysis comparing PR Add federation proposal for cross-server agent communication #8 proposal vs reality
  • Target architecture with org-centric model
  • 5-phase implementation roadmap (9 weeks total)
  • Per-user team pricing model
  • Technical specs for P2P protocol and agent registry

Related: #8

This document supersedes the original federation proposal with a realistic
assessment of what's built today and a detailed roadmap for achieving the
N-servers-per-org vision.

Key sections:
- Current state analysis with file references
- Gap analysis comparing PR #8 proposal vs reality
- Target architecture with org-centric model
- 5-phase implementation roadmap (9 weeks total)
- Per-user team pricing model
- Technical specs for P2P protocol and agent registry

Related: #8
Added Appendix B with detailed solutions for distributed systems challenges
identified in PR #8's review:

Critical (🔴):
- End-to-end delivery confirmation via capture-pane verification
- Registry consistency using cloud as authoritative source
- Message deduplication with TTL-based seen set

High Priority (🟡):
- Backpressure with PEER_BUSY/PEER_READY and bounded queues
- Distributed tracing with correlation IDs

Medium Priority:
- NAT/firewall traversal with hybrid topology
- Clock skew handling via relative TTLs

Also preserved PR #8's detailed protocol specification (PEER_HELLO,
PEER_ROUTE, etc.) and hybrid topology recommendation.

The document now serves as the authoritative architecture reference,
superseding PR #8 while incorporating its valuable insights.
Section 8 now provides directly actionable details for agents:

Phase 1 (Organizations):
- Specific files to create/modify
- Complete database migration code
- API endpoint specs with error codes
- Edge case handlers (user leaves org, owner leaves, org deleted)
- Acceptance criteria checklist

Phase 2 (Global Agent Registry):
- Full AgentRegistry service implementation
- Registration conflict detection with suggestions
- Stale agent cleanup logic
- Daemon disconnect handling

Phase 4 (P2P Connections):
- PeerConnection state machine implementation
- Reconnection with exponential backoff
- Message queueing during disconnects
- Duplicate connection handling
- Edge cases for cloud unavailability

Also added testing strategy with unit and integration test examples.
