Add comprehensive multi-server architecture document#91
Merged
Conversation
This document supersedes the original federation proposal with a realistic assessment of what's built today and a detailed roadmap for achieving the N-servers-per-org vision. Key sections: - Current state analysis with file references - Gap analysis comparing PR #8 proposal vs reality - Target architecture with org-centric model - 5-phase implementation roadmap (9 weeks total) - Per-user team pricing model - Technical specs for P2P protocol and agent registry Related: #8
Added Appendix B with detailed solutions for distributed systems challenges identified in PR #8's review: Critical (🔴): - End-to-end delivery confirmation via capture-pane verification - Registry consistency using cloud as authoritative source - Message deduplication with TTL-based seen set High Priority (🟡): - Backpressure with PEER_BUSY/PEER_READY and bounded queues - Distributed tracing with correlation IDs Medium Priority: - NAT/firewall traversal with hybrid topology - Clock skew handling via relative TTLs Also preserved PR #8's detailed protocol specification (PEER_HELLO, PEER_ROUTE, etc.) and hybrid topology recommendation. The document now serves as the authoritative architecture reference, superseding PR #8 while incorporating its valuable insights.
Section 8 now provides directly actionable details for agents: Phase 1 (Organizations): - Specific files to create/modify - Complete database migration code - API endpoint specs with error codes - Edge case handlers (user leaves org, owner leaves, org deleted) - Acceptance criteria checklist Phase 2 (Global Agent Registry): - Full AgentRegistry service implementation - Registration conflict detection with suggestions - Stale agent cleanup logic - Daemon disconnect handling Phase 4 (P2P Connections): - PeerConnection state machine implementation - Reconnection with exponential backoff - Message queueing during disconnects - Duplicate connection handling - Edge cases for cloud unavailability Also added testing strategy with unit and integration test examples.
