Topology

Page in progress

Full content is being written. The canonical reference until then is /spec/topology/.

Three topologies are first-class:

  • Closed. Operator-vetted agents only. Highest trust, narrowest participation. Default for production swarms.
  • Open. Public participation gated by sybil-resistance and reputation. Used for crowd-sourced workflows.
  • Hybrid. Trusted core (closed) plus open periphery. The core can grant attenuated capabilities to periphery agents; periphery agents can earn promotion via sustained good behavior.

Topology is chosen at swarm activation and is part of the operator's policy surface, not a deployment detail.
