# 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 <token>`; 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 fleet_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)
# CB-530: MORE THAN ONE LEAD. `primary:` above is singular by construction — every other pane
# resolves as a worker — which is right for one lead driving a fleet and wrong the moment two leads
# (say a Claude lead and an opencode lead) work as peers: the second is silently demoted and refused
# every orchestration call. List each lead's pane here and all of them resolve as leads.
#
# tab → the ONLY field identity depends on (CB-579); the exact label of the tab hosting the lead.
# Label the tab yourself, or let bridged label one it launches — see `fleet.leaders:` below.
# kind/model → descriptive; they document what runs in the pane and are echoed by fleet_whoami
#
# A lead's tab must already carry its label (or be launched by bridged, which labels it) — there is
# no terminal id to paste in and nothing to re-pin when the session restarts: the tab survives, so
# the same label resolves the same lead again on the next scan.
# `fleet_whoami` reports `{"role":"primary","leader":"<name>"}`; role stays "primary" because a lead
# IS a primary for authorization, so nothing that keys on the role breaks.
#
# KEEP `primary:` when adding leads: it still addresses the CB-307 push loop, which needs a single
# destination for its nudges, and is a separate mechanism from lead identity — see `fleet.leaders:`.
#
# Leads are configured under `fleet.leaders:` — see THE FLEET further down.
#
# Two things stop the tab-name convention from becoming a way to claim leadership: the configured
# member spaces are excluded from the scan, so nothing bridged places can land in a matching tab;
# and startup REFUSES a `tabPrefix` that the fleet tabLabel template, or any per-profile `tabLabel`
# override, also matches — so the two namespaces cannot overlap by accident. The label is a NAME,
# never a capability: what a pane may do is decided by the role the daemon resolves for it.
# CB-551: IDLE-LEAD HEARTBEAT — nudge the single lead back to work when it has been continuously
# idle (no open fleet_send driving it) past the quiet period. The fleet is one lead + architects +
# workers, so a lead that stalls is a single point of failure; the ReplyPushLoop only nudges when a
# reply lands, and this timer catches the gap where nothing lands and the lead just sits idle.
#
# Opt-in on purpose — it SPENDS the operator's subscription on its own initiative (each nudge starts
# a lead turn nobody asked for), so upgrading the daemon must never switch it on for you. Absent
# block = feature off, exactly as before.
#
# Three knobs, each with a default that errs on the side of not burning context:
# idleAfterSeconds: 300 # how long the lead must stay idle before the FIRST nudge (default 300 —
# # absorbs normal post-turn pauses; re-prompting every pause burns context)
# backoffMs: 60000 # re-check cadence / spacing between nudges past the quiet period (default 60000)
# quietNudgeCap: 3 # cap on consecutive nudges that find NOTHING pending, then it stops
# # until real state appears (default 3 — never nag an empty fleet forever)
# leadHeartbeat:
# idleAfterSeconds: 300
# backoffMs: 60000
# quietNudgeCap: 3
# Fleet health detection is dormant unless enabled (CB-573). It reads one whole-fleet agent list
# per tick.
# intervalSeconds → how often a tick runs (default 30). ENFORCED floor of 15: the code computes
# Math.max(15, intervalSeconds), so a lower value is silently raised, not
# rejected.
# workingSuspectAfterSeconds, paneProbeIntervalSeconds → accepted and parsed, but NOT YET READ by
# anything — the dormant monitor only consumes intervalSeconds today (CB-573
# shipped ahead of the evidence publishers these two knobs are for). Setting
# them changes nothing right now, and no minimum is enforced on either, because
# nothing reads them to enforce one. They exist so a later build can start
# honouring them without another config-shape change.
# notifications.mode → "webhook" flips what fleet_list REPORTS (healthCoverage: "full" instead
# of "detection-only") — it does NOT make bridged send any webhook call; no
# delivery mechanism is implemented yet. Any other value, or omitting the
# block, reports "detection-only".
# health:
# enabled: true
# intervalSeconds: 30
# workingSuspectAfterSeconds: 600

# herdr Unix socket. Omit to use the client default

herdrSocket: ~/.config/herdr/herdr.sock
# How member sessions are spawned. Define one or more named profiles (backends) under
# `profiles`; each key is the profile name (also the ccs profile). A profile says only WHICH
# BACKEND — model, CLI adapter, credentials, cost. It says nothing about what a member spawned on
# it is for; that is the member's role, and roles live under `fleet:` below. Which profile an
# unqualified spawn lands on comes from that role's pool, not from a global default.
#
# Shared knobs (placement/workspace) 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.
# ideMcpUrl → opt-in (CB-634), default off. When set, bridged mounts the IDE Index MCP as a
# second inline server named `intellij`, and adds an IDE charter that pins every
# ide_* call to the member's own worktree. A URL, not a boolean — host and port
# are host-specific. Set it only on a host where the IDE actually runs.
# ideProjectDir → repo-relative module dir the IDE opens and the overlay pins (CB-634). Only read
# when ideMcpUrl is set. This repo's Maven pom lives in `bridged/`, not at the
# worktree root, so opening the root imports no module and ide_* resolves nothing;
# set this to `bridged`. Omit for a repo whose project is the worktree root.
# ideOpenCommand → host command that opens ideProjectDir in the IDE at spawn (CB-634 auto-open).
# Only read when ideMcpUrl is set. `{dir}` is replaced with the absolute module
# dir and the command runs through `/bin/sh -c`, so set env inline if needed —
# e.g. `env DISPLAY=:10.0 idea {dir}`. Best-effort: a failure is logged, never
# fails the spawn. Omit to open the member's module by hand. There is no close
# half yet — an opened module stays open until the operator closes it.
# autoCompactWindow → opt-in, default off. A bounded token window that forces a spawned member to
# compact its context instead of running on the backend's own default and dying
# mid-turn (losing its fleet_reply — the whole point of the turn — with it).
# Validated at config load to [100000, 1000000] — the band Claude Code's own
# --autocompact flag accepts.
# CROSS-BACKEND SEMANTICS DIFFER: on claude-code this is a launch-time
# `--autocompact <tokens>` flag — the member compacts AT this window. opencode
# has no equivalent flag (it only forces `compaction.auto: true`, unconditionally,
# already), so this is instead applied as the model's `limit.context` in the
# generated opencode.json — the member compacts WITHIN this window, not exactly
# at it — and only when this profile's `model:` is in `provider/model` form; if it
# isn't, bridged logs a WARN naming the profile rather than silently doing nothing.
# 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:
# [.env, .envrc]. (.claude/settings.local.json is NOT in the default — it
# pre-approves IDE/tool grants a member must not hold ambiently; CB-525/CB-634.)
#
# 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.
# exhaustedPattern → regex matched against a completion-fallback scrape (CB-578 stage A) to
# classify a turn that ended with no fleet_reply as the backend having
# refused on a subscription usage limit, rather than a real answer. Opt-in —
# omit and this profile's completion fallback behaves exactly as before.
# Every backend words its refusal differently, so this is config, never a
# vendor string baked into bridged itself.
# DEFERRED: compiled once into a startup pattern map — editing it needs a
# daemon restart, same as this profile's model/baseUrl/argv.
# credentialId → CB-578 stage B: the credential this profile quarantines WITH when a
# BACKEND_EXHAUSTED classification fires. Two profiles that set the SAME
# credentialId share one quarantine — the case this exists for is two models
# on one account (e.g. sol and terra both billing one OpenAI credential): an
# exhaustion on either one must lock out both, or the fleet just walks onto
# the same dead account under the sibling's name. Opt-in — omit and this
# profile quarantines alone, under its own name, exactly as if the field did
# not exist. Cooldown length is the top-level quarantineCooldownSeconds below.
# HOT: read live at every spawn/exhaustion check — no restart needed.
# 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.fleet.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.

# selection skips it.

# maxLoad: max live workers on this profile. Omit for unlimited. An explicit 0 (CB-585) caps
# the profile at zero live members — it is excluded from automatic placement and an explicit

# subscription: true
# THE KNOB THAT DECIDES WHO PAYS (CB-539). Default false. When true, this profile's members

# daemon, so treat `true` as a deliberate exception, not a convenience.
#
# What changes when it is set (ClaudeCodeLauncher):
# - no ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL and no ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN are injected — the member inherits
# the operator's own Claude Code auth, which is exactly why it bills the plan;
# - SubscriptionGuard never vets it, because there is no baseUrl to vet;
# - no token is required, so `tokenEnv` is irrelevant here.
#
# MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE with `baseUrl` — setting both is refused at config load (CB-542). On the
# subscription path no guard would vet the URL, so allowing both would be a way around the
# guard rather than a configuration.
#
# GOTCHA 1 — it is invisible to the startup secret check. `Fleetd.reportRequiredSecrets`
# skips subscription profiles on purpose (they need no token), so a boot log that reports
# every secret as fine says nothing about these profiles.
#
# GOTCHA 2 — `maxLoad` is the ONLY throttle you have here. There is no metering, no budget
# and no refusal on cost; the cap on live members is the single thing standing between a

#
# CB-508: point an opencode profile at your OWN OpenAI-compatible endpoint (local vLLM, llama.cpp,
# LM Studio, TGI…) instead of opencode's gateway. Setting `baseUrl` on a `kind: opencode` profile
# makes the bridge emit a custom `provider` block into the generated opencode.json — opencode has
# no ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL seam, so this is how the endpoint is pinned.
# baseUrl → a bare host:port gets `/v1` appended (where these servers mount the API); a URL that
# already has a path is used verbatim, so a custom mount point still works.
# model → MUST be "<provider>/<model>". 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. A bare model name with a
# baseUrl set is rejected at spawn rather than silently using the default gateway.
# tokenEnv → optional; its value becomes the provider apiKey. Most local servers ignore the key,
# so a placeholder is used when unset (the AI SDK still requires a non-empty one).
# NOTE: no `guard` entry is needed even with a baseUrl set. The SubscriptionGuard exists to stop a
# worker borrowing the primary's Anthropic subscription, and an opencode process has no Anthropic
# credential path at all.

# How an unqualified spawn chooses a profile: fixed (default, reproduces pre-CB-518 behaviour),
# round-robin, or weighted. Omitting this key is a strict no-op for existing configs.
#
# `weighted` IS NOT "cheapest first" — read this before you set weights (CB-589).
# It is smooth weighted round-robin: it spreads spawns across EVERY profile that has a free slot,
# in weight ratio. It has no idea which profile costs money. So with local:10 / paid:2 you do not
# get "use local, overflow to paid" — you get roughly one spawn in six going to the paid profile
# while the local box still has a free slot.
#
# There is a sharper second effect. The policy's running score map lives for the daemon's whole
# life. While a profile is at maxLoad it is filtered out and its score FREEZES, so the paid
# profiles keep accumulating against it. When the local slot frees up it returns with a stale
# score and can LOSE the next pick — a paid spawn while the free box sits idle.
#
# Until a real cost-first policy exists, the workaround is to make the ratio decisive rather than
# proportional: give the free profile a weight so large that it wins every pick it is eligible
# for, and paid profiles only ever take genuine overflow. On this host that is local weight 100
# against paid weights of ~1.
#
# The gotcha with that workaround: it expresses a PREFERENCE ORDER through a RATIO knob. Add a
# future profile at weight 150 and it silently outranks the free box, with nothing to warn you.
# Re-check the weights whenever you add a profile.
placement: weighted
# How long a credential sits out after a BACKEND_EXHAUSTED classification (CB-578 stage B), in
# seconds, before a spawn may land on it again. Applies to every profile's effective credential
# (its own name, or its credentialId if set above) — there is no per-profile override. Default
# 1800 (30 minutes) when omitted or non-positive.
# DEFERRED: baked once into the BackendQuarantine built at startup — a running quarantine keeps
# its original cooldown regardless; a new value only applies to a quarantine that starts after a
# restart. Editing this needs a daemon restart to take effect.
# quarantineCooldownSeconds: 1800
# Re-read this file without restarting the daemon (CB-559). Off unless you add this block, so an
# upgraded bridged keeps the old behaviour: the file is read once at boot and never again.
# enabled → turn the watch on. bridged checks the file's modified time on a timer and
# reloads when it moves.
# intervalSeconds → how often to check (default 10). One `stat` per tick, so this is cheap.
#
# Not every key can move under a running daemon, and the difference is about what already exists
# when the reload happens — not about how important the key is:
# HOT → takes effect on the next spawn: the whole `fleet:` block (every role pool,
# `charters`, and `tabLabel`), `placement:`, and an existing profile's weight / maxLoad
# / credentialId. Those are hot because the placement policy (and, for credentialId,
# the CB-578 stage B quarantine check) reads them through a supplier — being config is
# not by itself enough to make a key hot.
# EXCEPT `fleet.leaders`: Fleetd.main reads it once at startup to build the lead tab
# scanner and launcher, and neither is rebuilt on reload. A changed/added/removed
# `fleet.leaders` entry is silently accepted — the reload reports "config reloaded"
# with nothing in the deferred list — but has NO effect until you restart. Treat it
# as deferred in practice, even though today's reload output does not say so.
# DEFERRED → accepted into the new config, but the wiring built at startup keeps the old value
# until you restart: `lifecycle:`, `leadHeartbeat:`, `guard:`, `worktreeRoot:`,
# `spawnReadyTimeoutMs` / `spawnReadyPollMs`, `quarantineCooldownSeconds` (CB-578
# stage B — baked once into the quarantine tracker built at startup), ADDING or
# REMOVING a profile (a new backend needs its own launcher, and launchers are built
# once), AND an existing profile's launch settings — model, baseUrl, argv, env,
# configDir, mcpUrl, tabLabel, exhaustedPattern. The launcher takes a copy of
# `profiles:` at startup and resolves every spawn out of that copy, so those never
# reach a launch until you restart. The reload logs them by name rather than
# pretending they applied.
# COLD → cannot change at all: `bind:`, `herdrSocket:`, `broker:` and `auth:`. The socket is
# bound, the broker connection is open, and the auth mode decides who may reach the
# port that is already listening.
#
# A changed COLD key refuses the WHOLE reload — not the hot half applied and the cold half warned
# about. A half-applied reload would leave the daemon matching no file on disk, which is the worst
# thing a reload can do to an operator debugging one. A file that fails to parse or fails a startup
# validator is refused the same way, and the running config stays live.
# configReload:

# THE FLEET (CB-557) — who the daemon may run, and under which role. This one block replaced four
# older keys: `leaders:`, `members:`, `leadScan:` and `defaultProfile:`.
#
# A member is anything a lead spawns, and every member has two INDEPENDENT attributes:
# role — which contract: architect, dev or reviewer. It picks the launch charter, the role
# file, the playbook skill and the authz row.
# profile — which backend: one of the `profiles:` keys above (model, CLI adapter, cost).
# They vary on their own. A reviewer may run on the same profile as the dev whose diff it reads,
# which is why the two cannot be one field.
#
# The ROLE IS THE CONTAINING KEY, not a `role:` field. That is not only tidier: a misspelled role
# used to parse into a member with no contract at all, while a misspelled pool name here simply
# declares nothing.
#
# Each pool lists the profiles that role MAY run on — these are pools, not identities. That is also
# what replaced `defaultProfile:`: an unqualified spawn names a role, and that role's pool supplies
# the candidates, in definition order. A dev and a reviewer staying anonymous is exactly compatible
# with being listed here; the entry key just names the entry.
fleet:
# Optional launch-charter text, keyed only by the singular role wire names: architect, dev,
# reviewer. Changes are HOT and reach the next spawn without a daemon restart. Do not put secrets
# here: a later launch step writes this text to a world-readable temp file, and ${ENV} interpolation
# is deliberately not supported.

# comes from a closed enum, a generated label can never begin with a lead's tabPrefix.
# tabLabel: "{role}: {profile} #{n}"
# Panes that orchestrate rather than are orchestrated. A lead may now be CREATED as well as
# recognised: give it a `profile:` and the daemon launches the shortfall when fewer than
# `instances` are live. Omit `profile:` and it is recognise-only, as before.
#
# `tab:` (CB-579) is REQUIRED and is the only field identity depends on — the exact label of the
# tab hosting the lead, matched case-insensitively. Label the tab yourself and put that same
# string here, and the pane is recognised on the next rescan. Reopen the tab later, or the session
# inside it restarts — the terminal id changes; the tab, and its label, do not, so no config edit
# follows a restart.
#
# A lead the daemon launches is labelled BY the daemon with this same `tab:` value, so it is found
# by the same scan. A lead counts as live only when herdr also reports a running agent in that
# tab — a label left behind by a session that died does not block the relaunch, and a tab that is
# gone entirely drops out of the next scan rather than being remembered forever.
#
# An auto-launched lead is NOT a member: it gets no worker reply charter, is never registered with
# the session lifecycle (the idle reaper would kill your orchestrator), and stays on the
# subscription — ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL/AUTH_TOKEN are stripped from its env whatever the profile says.
#
# GET THE `tab:` VALUE RIGHT. A pane that does not match any configured `tab:` (a typo, a renamed
# tab, a pane no entry names at all) is not recognised as a lead — it resolves as an ordinary
# WORKER instead, silently, and every orchestration call it makes (spawn/stop/send/drain) is
# refused. There is no error at startup for this: an unmatched pane is simply not a lead. If your
# primary suddenly can't spawn or send, check this section first.
# leaders:
# opus-5.0:
# profile: opus # omit to never create this lead, only recognise it
# instances: 1 # desired live count; only the shortfall is launched. 0 = off
# tab: "lead: opus-5.0" # REQUIRED — the exact tab label this lead lives in
# tabPrefix: "lead:" # only used to guard against a worker tabLabel colliding with
# # this convention at startup; plays no part in matching a lead
# scanIntervalSeconds: 10 # rescan cadence, and the worst case before a new tab is seen

# Member credential policy (CB-596, gitea issue #82). A herdr pane runs a LOGIN shell, and that
# shell re-sources the operator's own secret store — so a spawned member inherits every credential
# the operator's shell holds, not just the ones bridged means to give it. Measured on this host:
# 31 credential names, all set, with only ONE (GITEA_ACCESS_TOKEN) blocked before this — and that
# block was a single name hardcoded in HerdrPeerLauncher.java, not driven by this file. This block
# replaces that hardcoded shadow with a config-driven list of names.
#
# ROUND-2 CORRECTION, measured live: the pane-creation env overlay below (applied at tab.create /
# pane.split, BEFORE the pane's login shell runs) does NOT survive that login shell for any name
# secrets.sh actually exports — the shell re-exports it afterwards and overwrites the sentinel.
# Proof: GITEA_ACCESS_TOKEN comes back blocked only because secrets.sh itself carries a guarded
# export (`[ -n "${BRIDGED_MEMBER:-}" ] || export GITEA_ACCESS_TOKEN=...`) — that guard, not this
# file, is what wins. No other name in `known` below has a matching guard in secrets.sh yet (1
# guard measured against 33 export lines there). So today this block's overlay is REAL protection
# only for a name secrets.sh does not export, or a peer kind whose pane never runs a login shell —
# for everything secrets.sh exports and guards, the guard in secrets.sh (out of scope for this
# ticket) is what actually blocks it, not this list. An exec-time fix (winning after the login
# shell finishes, before the agent process starts) was attempted and found to have no seam in the
# current herdr protocol — AgentControl.start takes a fixed `kind` (herdr resolves the executable)
# plus trailing CLI args for that binary, not an arbitrary argv or an env map; only tab.create /
# pane.split accept `env`, and that is this same pane-creation overlay. See gitea #82 for the open
# design question this leaves.
#
# DENY-BY-DEFAULT, NOT A DENY-LIST. A deny-list (name the bad ones, let everything else through) is
# silently wrong the moment the operator's store gains a new secret — nothing would ever report it.
# Deny-by-default inverts that: `known` bounds the blast radius to names actually enumerated below,
# and EVERY one of them is blocked UNLESS it is also in `allow`. Omitting this block entirely (the
# shipped default) blocks NOTHING — unlike most optional blocks in this file, absence here is a real
# gap, not a safe "feature off". A name that is neither `known` nor `allow`-ed is not silently let
# through either: the daemon logs a WARN naming any credential-shaped env var it finds on neither
# list (never its value), so a secret added to the store later does not go unnoticed forever.
#
# policy → "deny-by-default" (the default; also accepted spelled "deny-list") overlays each
# known-but-not-allowed name BEFORE the pane's login shell runs — real protection only
# where that shell does not re-export the name (see ROUND-2 CORRECTION above). An
# unrecognized value refuses to start, naming it.
# policy → "allow-list" (CB-633) moves the control to a per-spawn ZDOTDIR directory the daemon
# generates and passes through tab.create's env map. Each generated startup file sources
# its ~/ counterpart FIRST and then runs the scrub, so the scrub happens after the
# operator's whole chain and no sourced file can undo it.
# The scrub is sourced from BOTH the generated .zshrc and the generated .zlogin, because
# herdr does not open the same kind of shell everywhere: macOS panes run a LOGIN zsh (so
# .zlogin runs), Linux panes run a plain interactive zsh (so .zlogin never runs at all).
# A scrub in .zlogin alone would be a control that silently does nothing on Linux.
# The allow-list is DERIVED, never typed:
# every profile's tokenEnv/gitTokenEnv/gitHostEnv values and env-map keys, plus an
# infrastructure set (PATH HOME SHELL TERM LANG LC_* TMPDIR USER LOGNAME PWD SHLVL EDITOR
# PAGER JAVA_HOME XDG_* ZDOTDIR), plus whatever keys this spawn's own env overlay carries.
# Adding a profile can therefore only widen the list, never break another spawn's scrub.
# Under this policy `known`/`allow` below become REPORTING ONLY — they feed the gap WARN,
# they are no longer a control. If the member's login shell is NOT zsh, the daemon logs a
# loud WARN saying protection is off and falls back to deny-by-default's overlay.
# Each pane writes a scrub-report.txt naming how many variables it kept of how many it
# saw; the daemon logs that "allowed N of M" line when the pane stops. If the report is
# MISSING the daemon logs a WARN instead — the scrub cannot then be confirmed to have
# run, and a silently-dead control is exactly what this policy exists to prevent.
# allow → credential names a member legitimately needs. Under deny-by-default, left OUT of the
# pane's env overlay entirely, so the value the pane's own (login) shell exports passes
# through untouched. Under allow-list: reporting only.
# known → every credential name the operator's store is known to export. Under deny-by-default,
# every name here NOT also in `allow` is overlaid with a non-secret sentinel value before
# the pane's login shell runs — real protection only for names that shell does not itself
# re-export (see the ROUND-2 CORRECTION note above). Under allow-list: reporting only.
# sshAuthSock → whether SSH_AUTH_SOCK may pass through under allow-list ("allow") or must be
# blanked like any other non-derived name ("block", the default). This is a decision you
# have to make explicitly: SSH_AUTH_SOCK is a handle to YOUR ssh-agent, and a member
# holding it can sign with your keys — it sits in no secret file and looks like no
# credential, which is why it slipped past three earlier tickets (gitea #110). Blocking
# it breaks git over SSH inside members (push/fetch authenticate as you); use HTTPS
# remotes or scoped deploy keys instead of allowing it lightly.
#
# HOT-RELOADABLE the same way `fleet:` is (CB-559): read fresh on every spawn, so editing this list
# and reloading config (or restarting) changes what the NEXT spawn inherits; already-running members
# are unaffected either way.

# contextCap → force-release a session after this many delegated turns
# drainTimeoutSeconds → seconds to wait for BUSY sessions on shutdown before forced teardown
# clearAfterTurn → whether a reusable worker discards its conversation context after every

# Durable reply delivery (CB-307 Stage 2). OMIT this block entirely to keep the default

# Set a broker uri to swap in the AMQP-backed inbox: worker replies with no open send are held
# on a durable per-target queue (agent.<target>.inbox) and survive a restart — the broker
# redelivers anything the primary had not yet drained. Production default is LavinMQ; a stock
# RabbitMQ speaks the same AMQP 0-9-1, so it is a URI-only swap.
# uri → AMQP connection URI. No trailing slash ⇒ the default vhost "/"; an empty path ("/")
# is vhost "" and will NOT connect. Encode a named vhost as .../%2Fmyvhost.
# uriEnv → CB-151: name of a host env var holding the AMQP URI, preferred over `uri` (wins
# whenever set). The URI carries `user:pass@` inline, so naming a variable keeps the
# password out of fleetd.yaml — same pattern as auth.tokenEnv/Profile.tokenEnv. A
# uriEnv that resolves to an unset or blank variable is treated as NOT configured and
# the daemon falls back to the in-memory inbox, warning loudly.
# prefetch → CB-527: consumer basicQos, capping how many unacked messages the inbox holds
# in-heap per owned target (the rest sits on the broker's durable queue instead of
# growing the JVM heap). Default 32 when omitted.

# Shared cross-host LEADER coordination broker. OMIT this block to leave lead-to-lead messaging
# off entirely (config-only in this ticket — nothing here wires it into a live LeadMailbox yet).
# This is a SEPARATE AMQP vhost from `broker:` above: member/worker inboxes always stay on the
# per-fleet `broker:` vhost, and this vhost carries only leader-to-leader traffic, so two fleets
# whose members must never see each other can still share one coordination vhost for their leads.
# uriEnv → name of a host env var holding the coordination AMQP URI, same convention as
# broker.uriEnv (keeps the credential out of fleetd.yaml). Wins over `uri` when set.
# selfId → this daemon's own lead coord-id — the name its mailbox is owned under
# (lead.<selfId>.inbox), e.g. "mac-opus" or "fleet01-lead". Must be globally unique
# across every daemon sharing this vhost.
# prefetch → consumer basicQos, capping how many unacked messages the mailbox holds in-heap.
# Default 32 when omitted.

# Active push-to-primary (CB-307 Stage 3). When a worker reply lands with no open fleet_send,
# the ReplyPushLoop injects a *drain nudge* (never the payload) into the primary's own herdr
# pane — status-gated (only when injectable, never mid-turn) and bounded. Ack = drain: the loop
# stops as soon as the primary's inbox is empty.
# terminal → pin the primary's herdr terminal id. Omit to learn it from the connection on
# the first orchestration-side MCP call (the normal case). An off-host or
# non-herdr primary leaves this unresolved → the loop is a no-op and delivery
# degrades to pull; the reply is still never lost.
#
# REQUIRED (CB-522) if the primary itself runs inside a herdr pane. Caller
# identity resolves a loopback PID to its herdr pane, and PaneLocator scans
# EVERY pane — not just bridged-spawned ones — so such a primary is otherwise
# classified as a WORKER and refused SPAWN/SEND/STOP. That failure is
# self-locking: the learned terminal is populated by the very orchestration
# calls being refused, so only this pinned value can break the cycle. Read the
# id off fleet_whoami (it reports the current terminal even while
# misclassified) and re-pin whenever the primary moves panes.
# pushReminders → max nudges before giving up (default 5)
# pushBackoffMs → delay between nudges in ms (default 15000)
