# Intercom
## My Trac Address
trac1usvsmphreqnm5h6xrp4p7m8kuzkmt9d92fq3rm3pnf4c88slwvpslq2lwv

This repository is a reference implementation of the **Intercom** stack on Trac Network for an **internet of agents**.
## How to run this app

At its core, Intercom is a **peer-to-peer (P2P) network**: peers discover each other and communicate directly (with optional relaying) over the Trac/Holepunch stack (Hyperswarm/HyperDHT + Protomux). There is no central server required for sidechannel messaging.
1. Run Agent2 first:
python3 agents/agent2.py

Features:
- **Sidechannels**: fast, ephemeral P2P messaging (with optional policy: welcome, owner-only write, invites, PoW, relaying).
- **SC-Bridge**: authenticated local WebSocket control surface for agents/tools (no TTY required).
- **Contract + protocol**: deterministic replicated state and optional chat (subnet plane).
- **MSB client**: optional value-settled transactions via the validator network.
2. Open another terminal and run Agent1:
python3 agents/agent1.py

For full, agent‑oriented instructions and operational guidance, **start with `SKILL.md`**.
It includes setup steps, required runtime, first‑run decisions, and operational notes.

## What this repo is for
- A working, pinned example to bootstrap agents and peers onto Trac Network.
- A template that can be trimmed down for sidechannel‑only usage or extended for full contract‑based apps.

## How to use
Use the **Pear runtime only** (never native node).
Follow the steps in `SKILL.md` to install dependencies, run the admin peer, and join peers correctly.

## Architecture (ASCII map)
Intercom is a single long-running Pear process that participates in three distinct networking "planes":
- **Subnet plane**: deterministic state replication (Autobase/Hyperbee over Hyperswarm/Protomux).
- **Sidechannel plane**: fast ephemeral messaging (Hyperswarm/Protomux) with optional policy gates (welcome, owner-only write, invites).
- **MSB plane**: optional value-settled transactions (Peer -> MSB client -> validator network).

Pear runtime (mandatory)
pear run . --peer-store-name <peer> --msb-store-name <msb>

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Intercom peer process |
| |
| Local state: |
| - stores/<peer-store-name>/... (peer identity, subnet state, etc) |
| - stores/<msb-store-name>/... (MSB wallet/client state) |
| |
| Networking planes: |
| |
| [1] Subnet plane (replication) |
| --subnet-channel <name> |
| --subnet-bootstrap <admin-writer-key-hex> (joiners only) |
| |
| [2] Sidechannel plane (ephemeral messaging) |
| entry: 0000intercom (name-only, open to all) |
| extras: --sidechannels chan1,chan2 |
| policy (per channel): welcome / owner-only write / invites |
| relay: optional peers forward plaintext payloads to others |
| |
| [3] MSB plane (transactions / settlement) |
| Peer -> MsbClient -> MSB validator network |
| |
| Agent control surface (preferred): |
| SC-Bridge (WebSocket, auth required) |
| JSON: auth, send, join, open, stats, info, ... |
+------------------------------+------------------------------+-----------+

| SC-Bridge (ws://host:port) | P2P (Hyperswarm)

+-----------------+ +-----------------------+
| Agent / tooling | | Other peers (P2P) |
| (no TTY needed) |<---------->| subnet + sidechannels |
+-----------------+ +-----------------------+

Optional for local testing:
- --dht-bootstrap "<host:port,host:port>" overrides the peer's HyperDHT bootstraps
(all peers that should discover each other must use the same list).
```

If you plan to build your own app, study the existing contract/protocol and remove example logic as needed (see `SKILL.md`).
3. Observe the message exchange in the terminal.
