# bridged configuration (example). Copy to bridged.yaml and adjust. # # bridged is the sole gateway between primary/worker Claude sessions and herdr. # It is NOT a Claude process and must never carry ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL. # REST + MCP listen address. Keep it on loopback unless you also switch auth.mode to `token` # below — bridged REFUSES TO START on a non-loopback bind under loopback-trust (see auth). bind: host: 127.0.0.1 port: 8765 # API authentication (CB-501). Governs how a caller that is NOT an on-host worker pane proves it # is the primary. Worker identity never depends on this: a loopback peer PID that maps to a herdr # pane is unforgeable and is always honoured, so turning auth on cannot lock the fleet out. # # mode: loopback-trust → DEFAULT, and the historical behaviour: any loopback caller that is not # a worker is the primary, no credential needed. Sound ONLY because the # OS refuses remote connections to a loopback socket. # mode: token → such a caller must send `Authorization: Bearer `; without it it # is anonymous and authorized for nothing. REQUIRED for a non-loopback # bind — the daemon fails fast otherwise, because "unauthenticated ⇒ # primary" on a reachable port would hand spawn/stop/send to anyone. # tokenEnv → host env var holding the token (never the literal value). Default # BRIDGED_API_TOKEN. Read only in token mode; empty ⇒ startup fails. # # TLS is deliberately NOT terminated in the daemon (CB-501 D3): run a reverse proxy in front and # let it own certificate lifecycle, e.g. # location / { proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8765; proxy_set_header Authorization $http_authorization; } # The broker link gets TLS from its own URI (amqps://…) — see `broker` below. # auth: # mode: token # tokenEnv: BRIDGED_API_TOKEN # Optional pinned primary terminal (CB-307). Names the herdr pane the PRIMARY itself runs in: # a caller whose connection maps to this pane resolves as the primary (no credential needed — # the pane mapping is as unforgeable as a worker's), and reply nudges are pushed to it. # REQUIRED when the primary runs inside a herdr pane — without it the pane match reads the # primary as a worker and refuses spawn/send/stop. Get the id from bridge_whoami; re-pin if # the primary moves panes. # primary: # terminal: term_0123456789abcd # pushReminders: 5 # max nudges before giving up (default 5) # pushBackoffMs: 15000 # delay between nudges (default 15000) # herdr Unix socket. Omit to use the client default # (${HERDR_SOCKET_PATH:-~/.config/herdr/herdr.sock}). herdrSocket: ~/.config/herdr/herdr.sock # How worker sessions are spawned. Define one or more named profiles (backends) under # `workers`; each key is the profile name (also the ccs profile). `defaultWorker` picks # which one a no-argument spawn uses (bridge_spawn with no profile / POST /workers). # # Shared knobs (placement/workspace/tabLabel) can be repeated per profile; they usually match. # placement: tab → each worker lands in its OWN tab in a dedicated worker space (default). # Use `pane` for the legacy behaviour (split the focused tab). # mcpUrl → bridged mounts the bridge MCP (--mcp-config, inline) + reply charter # (--append-system-prompt) as launch flags; nothing is written to the profile. # tokenEnv → host env var holding the worker's auth token (value never stored in config); # omit for a backend that needs no token (e.g. a local ollama). # cwd → pin this profile's working directory (CB-112). Omit to inherit the primary's # cwd on an MCP spawn, else the daemon's cwd — never $HOME. See # docs/Worker-Startup-and-Trust.md. # configDir → CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR for the worker, so it inherits that profile's # skills/MCP/hooks. Omit to leave the worker on the host default. # parityOverlay → repo-relative paths copied primary→worktree so a worker in a provisioned # worktree sees the same local config (CB-301-ext). Omit for the default set: # [.claude/settings.local.json, .env, .envrc]. # # Do NOT add .mcp.json (CB-525). A worker's tools are whatever its launcher # mounts — the bridge, and nothing else. Replicating the primary's MCP config # handed a worker the primary's IDE servers, which are bound to the primary's # checkout, so its navigation returned paths OUTSIDE its own worktree: one # worker made all 59 of its edits in the primary tree while compiling its # worktree, and every build it ran was of code that did not contain them. # bridged neutralizes a provisioned worktree's .mcp.json for this reason; # listing it here would copy the primary's back over that. # gitTokenEnv → host env var holding the git-forge API token. When set, its value is injected # as GITEA_TOKEN so the worker can open its OWN PR at checkpoint (CB-302). # Opt-in by design — omit and the worker gets no PR-create grant (push over # SSH is unaffected). The token value itself is never stored in this file. # gitHostEnv → host env var holding the forge host (default GITEA_HOST). Injected as # GITEA_HOST *only* alongside a resolved gitTokenEnv. # env → extra environment for this profile's workers, as a literal key/value map # (CB-511). Use it to give workers a toolchain. # # A worker's environment does NOT come from your shell. bridged hands herdr an # explicit env map and herdr merges it into ITS OWN process env — so before # CB-511 a worker inherited whatever PATH the herdr server happened to be # started with, which on a long-lived herdr can predate your toolchain entirely # and leave workers unable to run `mvn` or `java` at all. # bridged now propagates ITS OWN PATH to every worker by default; set `env:` # only to override that or add more (JAVA_HOME, …). Since the default is the # daemon's PATH, make sure the daemon is started with a good one — see the PATH # lines in deploy/dev.ltms.bridged.plist and deploy/bridged.service. # # Adapter-owned variables always win over `env:`: ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL and the # rest of the ANTHROPIC_*/CLAUDE_* wiring are applied after it, so an `env:` # entry cannot repoint a worker past the SubscriptionGuard — which is checked # against `baseUrl` alone. # Put `defaultMode: "auto"` in each ccs profile so the worker runs autonomously. workers: gx10: # ccs profile name (NOT a hostname) kind: claude-code # which adapter spawns this profile (default; may omit) baseUrl: http://gx01.gw:8000 # the vLLM host this profile targets (gx00.gw / gx01.gw) model: coder placement: tab workspace: bridged-workers tabLabel: "worker: {profile} #{n}" # {profile}/{model}/{n} substituted; {n} keeps sibling tabs distinct mcpUrl: http://127.0.0.1:8765/mcp tokenEnv: BRIDGED_WORKER_TOKEN argv: ["ccs", "gx10"] weight: 0.5 # relative selection weight for placement: weighted maxLoad: 2 # max live workers on this profile (omit for unlimited) # gitTokenEnv: GITEA_TOKEN # opt-in: let this profile's workers open their own PR (CB-302) # gitHostEnv: GITEA_HOST # defaults to GITEA_HOST; injected only with gitTokenEnv # configDir: /Users/me/.ccs/instances/gx10 # CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR — inherit that profile's skills/MCP # cwd: /Users/me/src/myrepo # pin the working dir; omit to inherit the primary's # parityOverlay: [".claude/settings.local.json", ".env", ".envrc"] # never add .mcp.json — see above ollama: baseUrl: http://ollama.ltms.dev # local/self-hosted; usually no token placement: tab workspace: bridged-workers tabLabel: "worker: {profile} #{n}" mcpUrl: http://127.0.0.1:8765/mcp argv: ["ccs", "ollama"] weight: 0.5 maxLoad: 2 # CB-402: a second coding-agent kind, proving the PeerLauncher SPI is provider-neutral. # opencode is provider-agnostic and uses NONE of Claude's private seams: no ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL / # SubscriptionGuard (so it needs no `guard` host entry), no --mcp-config / --append-system-prompt. # The bridge MCP + reply charter mount via a generated OPENCODE_CONFIG file, and the model is a # `provider/model` selector.

The provider half names the generated block; the model # half must match an id the server reports at /v1/models. One field drives both the # declaration and the `-m` flag, so they cannot drift apart.
