Full protocol surface audit across Colibri's 5 current protocols (~5,324 lines). Key finding: A2A is an interoperability play, not a complexity reduction play. Replaced: - Mother MCP-over-SSH bridge → A2A HTTP endpoint (−160 lines, +380 lines) - External MCP discovery → Agent Card (future, zero adopters today) - Ad-hoc cost format → typed A2A part (negligible code impact) Not replaced: Unix socket (local IPC), spawner (process lifecycle), glasspane (PTY observer), store (SQLite), MCP editor bridge (human↔tool). Net delta: ~0 lines (moves code, doesn't shrink it). Protocol count: 5→6. Recommendation: A2A is Phase 3 — not Phase 2, not 0.12. The current MCP-over-SSH bridge (437 lines) works for 4 nodes. A2A pays off at 10+ nodes or when third-party tools ship A2A support. The Agent Card design in HIVE-PANE.md stays as a north star. Cross-linked from hive-pane.md + wiki index. 182 refs, clean lint. |

Colibri
The Clawdie control plane core — a small, cross-platform (FreeBSD + Linux) Rust daemon. Developed from an operator USB environment; deploys as the Clawdie service on bare FreeBSD hardware (ZFS RAID1, PostgreSQL + pgvector, bhyve VMs, Bastille jails). Unifies coordination (task board, agent registry, skills catalog) with cache-first cost discipline (byte-stable prompt prefixes, cache-hit metering).
Status: workspace gates are fmt/clippy/test/release green. Round 2 audit is closed. Current priorities: ISO boot/runtime validation, Pi spawn end-to-end, and cost-mode enforcement (see docs/MULTI-AGENT-HOST-PLAN.md). Always query live state: see the crate table below and run the gate commands for current counts.
