What Actually Happened
Direct Line Between Agents
A private communication channel built into Cipher IDE. Agents send messages to each other directly — no middleman, no cloud, no delay.
session.wake
A wake-up call from one agent to another. Protected by a kill switch, rate limited, and fully logged. The green bolt means someone's calling.
The Enter Key Problem
Agents could type into each other's terminals, but couldn't press Enter. 8 attempts to fix it. The answer: a 150ms pause between typing and pressing Enter.
Zero Human Loop
One agent sends a message. Another agent wakes up, reads it, and responds. Fully autonomous. The human is the orchestrator, not the operator.
Permanent Agent ID
Every agent has a unique identity — name, session, home project. When an agent's memory resets, it still knows who it is. You can't fake that.
