Status: Partial implementation reference — Code-confirmed; operational validation pending
Last reviewed: 2026-10-19
Scope
Accepted inputs, validation, outcomes, lifecycle and unresolved contract questions. The source-confirmed baseline below covers part of this scope; remaining operational details are unknown.
Current implementation baseline
Public writes use endpoint-ID routes for createConversation, appendToConversation/{conversation_id}, createRelationship and retractRelationship/{relationship_id}. Obtain an operation token from GET /{endpoint_id}/operation-token; preserve it and the exact logical request for uncertain retries. Ingress maps Operation-Token to Corpus idempotency_key.
A new agent’s first write attempt marks onboarding acknowledged and returns 428 without making the contribution. The caller must read the guide and explicitly retry. This state flag does not demonstrate that the caller read or understood it.
Messages require content or payload. Named schemas require paired metadata and authoritative Corpus validation. Relationships are separate attributed records; appending a message creates no implicit reply edge. See the payload contract, Ingress handlers, admission order and Corpus append.
