# AGENTS.md
These rules apply to the entire Lumbridge repository.
## Product boundary
Lumbridge is a terminal/workspace runtime and ACP client. It may host, supervise,
and observe coding harnesses, but must not silently impersonate them, scrape their
private credentials, or claim provider quota data that cannot be verified.
## Research boundary
Upstream repositories are cloned outside this Git repository under the desktop
workspace's `Research/` directory. They are references, not vendored code.
- Do not copy upstream implementation code without an explicit license review.
- Record the source repository and relevant license for any adapted design.
- AGPL/GPL and unlicensed repositories may be studied for behavior and UX only
unless the project deliberately changes its licensing strategy.
## Engineering rules
- Keep provider, harness, protocol, terminal, persistence, and UI boundaries
separate. A provider is not a harness and ACP is not a provider API.
- Preserve a PTY fallback. ACP adds structure but must not be required to open a
normal shell or run an arbitrary CLI.
- Keep secrets out of SQLite, logs, crash reports, command-line arguments, and
repository files. Store only opaque secret references in application state.
- Usage values must include a provenance and confidence classification.
- Avoid platform behavior hidden behind scattered `cfg` blocks; isolate it in
platform adapters with shared contract tests.
- No telemetry is enabled by default. Any future telemetry must be documented,
opt-in, redacted, and independently disableable.
## Verification
Before committing Rust changes, run:
```bash
cargo fmt --all --check
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
cargo test --workspace --all-features
```

# Contributing
Lumbridge is early. Architecture changes should begin as a short document in
`docs/decisions/` and include the rejected alternatives, portability impact,
security impact, and a way to reverse the decision.
Please keep changes small, add tests for behavior, and do not commit generated
artifacts, API keys, subscription tokens, transcripts, or upstream research
checkouts.

# Lumbridge
Lumbridge is a fast, local-first workspace and terminal multiplexer for agentic
engineers. It will run coding harnesses side by side, preserve their sessions,
connect rich agents through ACP, and show trustworthy account and usage context
without forcing users into one model vendor.
The first supported desktop platforms are:
- macOS (Apple Silicon first, Intel when CI capacity is available)
- Ubuntu Linux
- Omarchy and compatible Arch Linux systems
Lumbridge is free and open source under Apache-2.0. Releases will be published
as installable binaries; building from source will remain supported.
## Status
This repository is in architecture and product-definition phase. The current
binary is deliberately only a scaffold. We are validating the terminal engine,
UI stack, process/session model, ACP integration, packaging, and usage-data
contracts before committing to a large implementation.
## Product shape
- A native desktop shell with tabs, panes, workspaces, worktrees, diffs, and an
agent-aware footer.
- A Rust session runtime that survives UI restarts and can later run headless.
- ACP-native integrations where available, with supervised PTYs as the universal
fallback for any CLI harness.
- First-class harnesses for Claude Code, Codex, DeepSeek Harness, Pi, Hermes,
OpenClaw, Goose, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode.
- Subscription login owned by the upstream harness, plus separate BYOK provider
profiles for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, Cerebras, DeepSeek, and more.
- Usage history, burn rate, reset windows, and forecasts with visible data
provenance instead of invented precision.
Start with [the product spec](docs/PRODUCT_SPEC.md),
[architecture](docs/ARCHITECTURE.md), and [research map](docs/RESEARCH.md).

# Security
Lumbridge will launch shells and coding agents with the user's authority. That
makes process isolation, approval visibility, secret handling, and transcript
redaction core product behavior rather than optional hardening.
Do not report vulnerabilities in a public issue while the disclosure channel is
being established. For now, contact the repository owners privately through the
Lumbridge organization on git.karti.ai.
Never include real credentials, private prompts, source code, or terminal output
in a vulnerability report without first agreeing on a secure transfer method.

# Architecture
## Recommended shape
Lumbridge should be two cooperating Rust processes:
```text
native desktop UI
| local authenticated IPC
Lumbridge session runtime
|-- PTYs and process trees
|-- ACP clients and adapters
|-- repositories and worktrees
|-- usage/event ledger
`-- secret-store handles
```
Separating the UI from the session runtime lets terminals survive renderer
restarts, permits a future headless/SSH mode, and gives persistence one owner.
The first development build may run both in one process, but boundaries and IPC
messages should be real from the beginning.
## Planned crates
- `lumbridge-core`: IDs, commands, events, errors, capability and usage types.
- `lumbridge-runtime`: session ownership, supervision, recovery, IPC server.
- `lumbridge-pty`: portable PTY and process-tree adapters.
- `lumbridge-terminal`: VT parsing, scrollback, selection, search, render model.
- `lumbridge-acp`: ACP client, capability negotiation, transcript normalization.
- `lumbridge-harness`: manifests, launch profiles, hooks, PTY fallback adapters.
- `lumbridge-provider`: BYOK providers and provider-neutral usage records.
- `lumbridge-storage`: SQLite migrations, event log, snapshots, retention.
- `lumbridge-secrets`: Keychain/libsecret adapters and redaction.
- `lumbridge-git`: repositories, worktrees, diffs, status, conflict state.
- `lumbridge-ui`: native desktop state and rendering.
- `lumbridge`: installable application entry point.
Only `lumbridge-core` and the entry point exist in the scaffold. New crates are
added after their architecture spike passes.
## Terminal path
The runtime owns PTYs, child process groups, resize signals, input ordering, and
raw output. The terminal engine turns output into immutable render snapshots and
bounded deltas for the UI. Scrollback is chunked and persisted separately from
the live screen to prevent large agent transcripts from blocking input.
We should evaluate, not blindly copy, WezTerm, Zellij, RMUX, tmux, and cmux. The
first spike must compare a reusable terminal crate with a small first-party layer.
Correctness cases include alternate screen, bracketed paste, OSC 8 links, Kitty
keyboard/graphics negotiation, Unicode width, IME, mouse modes, shell integration,
and simultaneous automation plus human input.
## UI decision gate
Do not lock the project to a webview or to Zed's private implementation details
before a measured spike. Compare:
1. GPUI for a Zed-like native model and excellent text-heavy interaction.
2. Iced/wgpu plus a dedicated terminal renderer for stable Rust portability.
3. Tauri only as a delivery-speed baseline, not the assumed winner.
The winner must render six busy panes smoothly, keep input latency low, support
IME/accessibility, package on macOS and both Linux targets, and avoid a license
or upstream-stability trap.
## Harness integration
Each harness is described by a versioned manifest: executable discovery, launch
arguments, environment allowlist, resume semantics, status/usage probes, ACP
command when available, and hook installation rules.
ACP is preferred because it provides structured prompts, plans, tool calls,
permissions, content blocks, and session lifecycle. A supervised PTY is always
available because terminal fidelity and arbitrary CLI compatibility are product
requirements. Harness-specific adapters translate both paths into the same event
model without pretending a PTY has capabilities it cannot prove.
## Usage model
Usage is an append-only observation stream, not a mutable percentage field.
Observations include account profile, provider, harness, model, units, time
window, reset time, provenance, confidence, and source timestamp. Projections are
derived views that can be recomputed as forecasting improves.
Subscription balance is provider-specific and sometimes unavailable. BYOK calls
usually expose token counts but cost still depends on cached tokens, reasoning,
tool calls, and current pricing. Adapters normalize facts without erasing their
source or uncertainty.
## Persistence
SQLite in WAL mode stores metadata, commands/events, normalized usage, and small
snapshots. Large scrollback chunks and binary attachments use content-addressed
files. A write-ahead event is committed before an external mutation is reported
as accepted. Startup replays incomplete operations and reconciles live children.
## Security
- macOS secrets: Keychain; Linux secrets: Secret Service/libsecret, with an
explicit encrypted-file fallback only if the user enables it.
- Never pass keys in process arguments. Prefer inherited file descriptors or a
minimal child environment when a harness requires environment variables.
- IPC is local, authenticated, permission-restricted, and version-negotiated.
- Transcript and crash-report redaction happens before persistence or export.
- Repository trust, harness approval mode, and sandbox mode are visible per pane.
- Remote control and plugins are out of scope until a capability/permission model
exists.
## Platform adapters
Shared contracts cover PTY, process tree, notifications, secret store, paths,
autostart, updater, and packaging. macOS uses `forkpty`/process groups and native
Keychain. Ubuntu and Omarchy use Unix PTYs, cgroups/systemd scopes when available,
and Secret Service. Omarchy is treated as Arch Linux, not as a separate kernel.

# Distribution plan
Lumbridge source and release metadata live in the public Gitea repository. Users
should not need a Rust toolchain.
Initial release artifacts:
- macOS arm64: signed and notarized `.dmg` plus a tar archive.
- macOS x86_64: added when a maintained Intel runner is available.
- Ubuntu x86_64: `.deb` and AppImage.
- Omarchy/Arch x86_64: signed package archive and an AUR recipe that downloads
the matching release artifact.
Each release includes SHA-256 checksums, a signed update manifest, SBOM, license
notices, and the exact source commit. Reproducibility is a goal, but a release is
not called reproducible until two clean builders produce matching artifacts.
The updater must verify signatures before replacing binaries, retain the prior
version for rollback, and never update a running session runtime in place.

# Product specification
## One sentence
Lumbridge is a high-performance, local-first terminal and workspace multiplexer
that lets engineers run, steer, compare, and understand many coding agents
without surrendering control of their accounts, keys, repositories, or shells.
## Primary user
An engineer who works across several repositories and routinely keeps multiple
coding agents, shells, test watchers, servers, and review surfaces alive at once.
The product should feel faster and calmer as concurrency rises.
## Core jobs
1. Open a repository and create a durable workspace with terminals and panes.
2. Launch a supported harness through its subscription login or a BYOK profile.
3. See whether each agent is working, waiting, blocked, complete, or disconnected.
4. Steer work without losing terminal fidelity or bypassing approval prompts.
5. Review file and Git changes by workspace or worktree.
6. Understand usage, rate-limit windows, burn rate, and likely exhaustion time.
7. Resume the entire workspace after the UI or machine restarts.
## Initial harnesses
- Claude Code
- OpenAI Codex
- DeepSeek Harness
- Pi and compatible Pi distributions
- Hermes Agent
- OpenClaw
- Goose
- Gemini CLI
- OpenCode
An arbitrary command remains a supported harness through the generic PTY adapter.
## Provider modes
Subscription mode delegates authentication to the installed upstream harness.
Lumbridge observes only documented status, usage, and protocol surfaces.
BYOK mode supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Groq, Cerebras, DeepSeek,
and OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Keys live in the operating-system credential
store. A provider adapter receives an opaque secret handle, never a value stored
in project state.
Provider and harness selection are independent. For example, a generic harness
may use Cerebras by API key while Codex uses a ChatGPT subscription.
## Usage footer
The footer answers five questions in a glance:
- Which harness, provider, model, and account profile is active?
- How much of the current usage window has been consumed?
- When does the window reset?
- What is the recent and projected burn rate?
- How trustworthy is the number?
Every value is labeled internally and in detail views as provider-reported,
harness-reported, locally measured, estimated, or unavailable. Lumbridge must
not scrape browser cookies or reverse-engineer private account APIs to manufacture
an exact remaining balance. When only local observations exist, the UI says so.
## Non-goals for the first release
- A new foundation-model training or inference service.
- A hosted account or mandatory Lumbridge cloud.
- Replacing every coding harness with one Lumbridge-owned agent loop.
- Windows support.
- Mobile control, collaborative cloud sessions, or remote execution.
- Bundling third-party subscriptions or reselling model tokens.
## Experience principles
- Terminal truth first: no hidden process state and no fake terminal emulation.
- Keyboard fast, mouse understandable.
- Dense information with a quiet default presentation.
- Approval and security boundaries stay visible.
- Local and offline workflows remain useful.
- Estimates are useful only when their uncertainty is honest.

# Research map
The working checkouts live outside this repository at:
```text
Desktop/Lumbridge Code/Research/
```
They are shallow snapshots for study, not dependencies or vendored source.
## Multiplexers and terminal engines
- `manaflow-ai/cmux`: the current cmux product; native workspace/pane model,
automation socket, embedded browser, agent hooks, and terminal UX.
- `Helvesec/rmux`: Rust multiplexer engine, daemon, typed SDKs, tmux surface.
- `tmux/tmux`: the durable client/server and command model to remain compatible
with where useful.
- `zellij-org/zellij`: Rust workspace, layouts, plugins, collaboration, web client.
- `wez/wezterm`: mature Rust terminal emulator, multiplexer, rendering, and PTY
portability reference.
## Agent IDEs and orchestration products
- `stablyai/orca`: parallel worktrees, many harnesses, terminals, usage tracking,
remote execution, and review surfaces.
- `get-bb/bb`: self-drivable agent IDE with desktop, web, CLI, and API surfaces.
- `coder/xum`: isolated parallel agent workspaces, remote execution, review, and
cost/context UX; AGPL, so treat implementation as study-only.
- `zed-industries/zed`: high-performance Rust editor, GPUI, terminal, and ACP
client. Review the dual-license boundary file by file.
- `aaif-goose/goose`: Rust desktop/CLI/API agent, many providers, MCP, and ACP.
- `block/buzz`: Rust human/agent collaboration plus production ACP harness design.
- `bbarit/terminal`: Rust agent terminal/IDE ideas. No top-level license file was
present in the captured snapshot, so do not reuse implementation code.
## Protocols
- `agentclientprotocol/agent-client-protocol`: canonical ACP schema and spec.
- `agentclientprotocol/rust-sdk`: official high-level Rust client/agent runtime.
## Harnesses
- `openai/codex`
- `deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness`
- `google-gemini/gemini-cli`
- `badlogic/pi-mono`
- `NousResearch/hermes-agent`
- `openclaw/openclaw`
- `anomalyco/opencode`
## Research questions
1. Which terminal core gives us correctness without inheriting a product-shaped
dependency or incompatible license?
2. Can the runtime maintain smooth human input while agents read/write other
panes through automation?
3. Which UI stack meets latency, IME, accessibility, and packaging requirements?
4. What is the smallest honest common denominator across ACP harnesses?
5. Which official provider/harness surfaces expose subscription quota, and what
must remain measured or unavailable?
6. Can one event model cover PTY, ACP, Git, usage, permissions, and recovery
without turning into untyped JSON everywhere?

# Roadmap
## Phase 0 — research and decisions
- Capture upstream snapshots, licenses, relevant modules, and architectural notes.
- Benchmark UI candidates with six animated terminal panes.
- Spike PTY correctness and process-tree cleanup on macOS, Ubuntu, and Omarchy.
- Connect the official ACP Rust SDK to two contrasting harnesses.
- Audit actual usage/quota surfaces for every launch provider.
- Decide terminal core, UI stack, IPC transport, and schema evolution policy.
Exit: recorded decisions with working spikes and measured results.
## Phase 1 — terminal workspace alpha
- Durable runtime, local IPC, workspaces, tabs, splits, shells, scrollback.
- Session restore, crash recovery, command palette, keybindings, notifications.
- Repository/worktree creation and basic Git status/diff.
- macOS, Ubuntu, and Omarchy development packages.
Exit: Lumbridge is worth using as a terminal multiplexer without AI features.
## Phase 2 — agent alpha
- Generic harness manifest and PTY adapter.
- ACP client with capability negotiation and permission rendering.
- Codex, Claude Code, DeepSeek Harness, Pi, and Hermes adapters.
- Agent status, unread/needs-input state, resume, and transcript navigation.
Exit: daily multi-agent work is reliable and observable.
## Phase 3 — providers and usage
- Subscription profile discovery without credential extraction.
- BYOK profiles for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, Cerebras, and DeepSeek.
- OS credential storage, redaction, provider/model catalog.
- Usage ledger, reset windows, burn charts, forecasts, export, and footer.
Exit: usage displays are useful, auditable, and honest about uncertainty.
## Phase 4 — public beta
- Goose, Gemini CLI, OpenClaw, and OpenCode adapters.
- Signed/notarized macOS releases, `.deb`, AppImage, and Arch package.
- Delta updater with signed manifests and rollback.
- Accessibility, performance, soak, migration, and recovery qualification.

# 0001: Lumbridge is the workspace, not one more mandatory agent
Status: accepted for the architecture phase.
Lumbridge owns terminals, workspaces, session durability, integration, review,
and usage observability. Existing coding harnesses remain first-class processes.
ACP provides rich structure and PTYs provide universal compatibility.
This boundary preserves user subscriptions, harness-native capabilities, and
choice. It also prevents an early attempt to build a terminal, IDE, multiplexer,
provider SDK, and universal agent loop as one inseparable component.
We may later ship an optional Lumbridge-native harness, but the application must
remain valuable without it.

# 0002: Usage data always carries provenance
Status: accepted for the architecture phase.
Provider quotas and subscription windows do not share a stable universal API.
Lumbridge therefore stores observations with their source and derives forecasts
without overwriting the facts.
Allowed provenance values begin as provider-reported, harness-reported, locally
measured, estimated, and unavailable. The UI may simplify these labels in compact
views, but the detail view and export retain them.
Lumbridge will not scrape browser cookies, copy upstream OAuth tokens, or label a
local estimate as an exact remaining subscription balance.
