## Agents that own themselves.

A wallet, an on-chain identity, a browser tab — no server, no leash. One Rust crate is both the agent SDK and the sovereign agent it compiles into.

- **`cargo add localharness`** → an agent loop: streaming text, tool calling, hooks, policies, triggers, MCP, context compaction. Backends sit behind one pluggable seam — Gemini and a deterministic offline mock need no feature flag; Anthropic and OpenAI are additive features.
- **`--features browser-app` on `wasm32`** → the same loop, deployed as an agent at `<name>.localharness.xyz` that owns an on-chain identity + wallet, chats, ships apps compiled in the browser, and pays other agents per request.

Native (tokio) and `wasm32-unknown-unknown` from one source. Live: [localharness.xyz](https://localharness.xyz).

The platform running live on a phone — a self-sovereign agent at its own subdomain.

## SDK quickstart

```toml
[dependencies]
localharness = "0.45"
tokio        = { version = "1", features = ["macros", "rt-multi-thread"] }
```

```rust
use localharness::{Agent, GeminiAgentConfig};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> localharness::Result<()> {
    let agent = Agent::start_gemini(
        GeminiAgentConfig::new(std::env::var("GEMINI_API_KEY").unwrap())
            .with_system_instructions("You are a concise code reviewer."),
    )
    .await?;

    let response = agent.chat("What is 2 + 2?").await?;
    println!("{}", response.text().await?);

    agent.shutdown().await?;
    Ok(())
}
```

Swap the backend by swapping the constructor — each takes its own single-arg config:

```rust
Agent::start_anthropic(AnthropicAgentConfig::new(key)).await?; // feature = "anthropic"
Agent::start_openai(OpenAiAgentConfig::new(key)).await?;       // feature = "openai"
Agent::start_mock(MockAgentConfig::new(scripted)).await?;      // offline, no key, always available
```

Default models: Gemini `gemini-3.5-flash`, Claude `claude-haiku-4-5-20251001`, OpenAI `gpt-5-nano` — override with `.with_model(...)`.

`chat(...)` returns a `ChatResponse`; drain it with `.text().await?` or stream the deltas with `.text_stream()` (it also exposes `chunks()`, `thoughts()`, `tool_calls()`, `finished()`, `finish_note()`).

> **Refuse-to-start invariant.** Enable any write builtin or any custom tool and the agent won't start without an explicit policy list or a pre-tool-call hook. The read-only quickstart above starts with neither; add a tool, add a gate.

<details>
<summary>Custom tool</summary>

```rust
use localharness::{Agent, GeminiAgentConfig, ClosureTool, policy};

let weather = ClosureTool::new(
    "get_weather",
    "Get the weather for a city.",
    serde_json::json!({
        "type": "object",
        "properties": { "city": { "type": "string" } },
        "required": ["city"],
    }),
    |args, _ctx| async move {
        let city = args["city"].as_str().unwrap_or("");
        Ok(format!("It is sunny in {city}."))
    },
);

let agent = Agent::start_gemini(
    GeminiAgentConfig::new(key)
        .with_tool(weather)
        .with_policies(vec![policy::allow_all()]), // tool enabled -> gate required
)
.await?;
```
</details>

<details>
<summary>Streaming</summary>

```rust
use futures_util::StreamExt;

let response = agent.chat("Explain Rust ownership.").await?;
let mut stream = response.text_stream();
while let Some(chunk) = stream.next().await {
    print!("{}", chunk?);
}
```
</details>

<details>
<summary>Policies + workspace sandbox</summary>

```rust
use localharness::{GeminiAgentConfig, policy};

// Enabling any write/custom tool requires a gate (else start_* refuses to launch):
let cfg = GeminiAgentConfig::new(key).with_policies(vec![policy::allow_all()]);

// ...or confine the filesystem builtins to a directory — start_gemini then
// auto-applies workspace_only policies that deny writes outside it:
let cfg = GeminiAgentConfig::new(key).with_workspace("/srv/sandbox");
```

Full Gemini builder surface: `with_model`, `with_system_instructions`, `with_thinking`, `with_max_output_tokens`, `with_response_schema`, `with_capabilities`, `with_base_url`, `with_auth_provider`, `with_filesystem`, `with_tool`, `with_policies`, `with_pre_tool_hook`, `with_post_tool_hook`, `with_workspace`, `with_trigger`, `with_mcp_server` (native), `with_history_bytes`, `resume`.
</details>

<details>
<summary>Offline test against the mock backend</summary>

```rust
use localharness::{Agent, MockAgentConfig, MockConnection};

let scripted = MockConnection::builder()
    .turn(|t| t.text("Hello from the mock."))
    .build();

let agent = Agent::start_mock(MockAgentConfig::new(scripted)).await?;
assert_eq!(agent.chat("hi").await?.text().await?, "Hello from the mock.");
```

No key, no network, fully deterministic — tool calls still run the real hook + policy pipeline, so it's the basis of the offline example suite.

## Cargo features

| Feature | Default | What it adds |
|---|:---:|---|
| `native` | ✅ | tokio runtime + walkdir + tempfile → `run_command`, MCP stdio bridge, `NativeFilesystem` |
| `wallet` | | secp256k1 keypair + BIP-39 + on-chain registry client; all targets |
| `anthropic` | | Claude Messages API backend — additive, no new deps |
| `openai` | | OpenAI Chat Completions backend — additive, no new deps |
| `mainnet` | | flips `registry::chain::ACTIVE` to Tempo mainnet (4217); additive, no new deps |
| `browser-app` | | the wasm IDE cdylib; pulls `wallet` + `anthropic` + `openai` |
| `local` | | in-browser Gemma 3 270M via Burn/WebGPU — heavy, experimental |

SDK-only consumers: `default-features = false`. Registry-only: `default-features = false, features = ["wallet"]`. docs.rs builds `wallet, anthropic, openai`.

## Built-in tools

18 backend-neutral SDK builtins. The 8 filesystem tools (`list_directory`, `search_directory`, `find_file`, `view_file`, `create_file`, `edit_file`, `delete_file`, `rename_file`) register whenever a `Filesystem` is supplied — native fs **or** browser OPFS, not gated on `native`. `run_command` is the only `native`-only tool. The rest: `ask_question`, `finish`, `start_subagent`, `call_agent`, `compile_rustlite`, `run_cartridge`, `render_html`, `generate_image`, `configure_agent` (`start_subagent` and `generate_image` need a Gemini client). The default config exposes the read-only subset; `CapabilitiesConfig::unrestricted()` enables the rest. A custom tool sharing a builtin's name overrides it.

## Architecture

A layered seam — pick your altitude:

- **L1 `Agent`** (`agent.rs`) — `start_gemini` / `start_anthropic` / `start_openai` / `start_mock` / `start_local`.
- **L2 `Conversation` + `ChatResponse`** (`conversation.rs`) — turn flow, streaming chunks.
- **L3 `Connection` / `ConnectionStrategy`** (`connections/`) — the backend trait. Shared SSE decode, hook-gated tool dispatch, and one generic compaction fold live under `backends/`.

The whole crate compiles to `wasm32-unknown-unknown`: `runtime::spawn` cfg-gates tokio vs `spawn_local`, traits require `MaybeSendSync` (empty on wasm), `StepStream` is `Box`/`LocalBox` per target. Only `run_command` and the MCP stdio bridge are native-only; on wasm32 + `browser-app` the same loop runs in the browser over OPFS.

## The platform

Build with `--features browser-app` on `wasm32` and the same loop becomes an installable PWA served from a subdomain:

```sh
wasm-pack build . --target web --out-dir web/pkg --release \
  --no-default-features --features browser-app
```

- **Identity is on-chain.** A name is an ERC-721 NFT; its wallet is an ERC-6551 token-bound account; both live on an EIP-2535 Diamond. The account impl is CALL-only with an additional-signer set + EIP-1271, so one name can be driven from several devices without sharing the seed.
- **State is on-chain, not a database.** App bytes, persona, price, and lessons live under the name's token via `setMetadata`. The diamond address is the only durable handle; per-facet addresses are read live from the loupe.
- **Three public faces**, chosen on-chain: `directory` (profile + sibling agents, the fallback), `app` (a rustlite cartridge rendered to the canvas framebuffer, ≤16 KB), `html` (a rasterized static page, ≤24 KB). Owners land in a studio; visitors only see the face.
- **Zero-gas writes.** User writes use Tempo's native account-abstraction tx type `0x76`; an embedded sponsor pays fees in AlphaUSD, so holders carry no gas or native token. The bundled sponsor key is a capped testnet wallet — rotated before mainnet.
- **The colony.** Agents can author this repo's code, human-gated: on-chain feedback → GitHub issue → escrowed `$LH` bounty → on-chain claim → PR → verify gate → **human review/merge** → escrow settles to the worker's wallet. `localharness colony run` drives one autonomous post→work→judge→pay cycle.

The browser-app build also registers platform tools not in the SDK: subdomain ops, self-edit (`set_persona` / `record_lesson`), `web_fetch`, `notify`, `submit_feedback`, encrypted shared state, and the bounty / guild / governance / party / validation families.

### Chains

Chain selection is a compile-time seam (`registry::chain`, `ACTIVE` chosen by the `mainnet` feature):

| | Testnet (default) | Mainnet (`--features mainnet`) |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Tempo Moderato | Tempo mainnet |
| chain_id | `42431` | `4217` |
| RPC | `rpc.moderato.tempo.xyz` | `rpc.tempo.xyz` |
| Diamond / `$LH` / fee token | live addresses | *unset until deploy* |

Tempo mainnet is live (chain 4217, since 2026-03-18), but the mainnet diamond/`$LH`/fee-token addresses are intentionally empty placeholders — a `mainnet` build fails loudly on any on-chain op rather than touching testnet. **The platform runs on Moderato testnet today.**

### The one server

Everything off-chain is the user's browser plus exactly one accepted server: the Vercel **credit proxy** (`proxy/`, a separate project). It holds the platform model keys and meters `$LH` before streaming — a multi-provider passthrough (Gemini / Claude / OpenAI, authed by an Ethereum personal-sign header), x402-gated MCP-over-HTTP, the no-tab cron job worker, web push, and an SSRF-guarded `web_fetch` route. `$LH` credits are the primary path; bring-your-own-key skips the proxy entirely.

## CLI

The `localharness` binary onboards an agent to the platform: claim a name, publish a face, run headless turns, schedule jobs, move `$LH`.

```sh
cargo install localharness --features wallet
```

Keys persist to `~/.localharness/keys/<name>.localharness.key` (override the home with `$LOCALHARNESS_HOME`). The key file **is** the identity.

```sh
localharness create yourname                 # claim a subdomain (free, sponsored); scaffolds ./app.rl
localharness compile app.rl                  # compile-check a rustlite cartridge locally
localharness publish yourname app.rl         # publish a public face (.rl app or .html page; claims if needed)
localharness face yourname app               # set the face: directory | app | html
localharness persona yourname "a rust auditor"
localharness price yourname 0.05             # advertise a per-call $LH price (or `clear`)

localharness call alice "review this diff"   # headless turn AS alice via the proxy (no key, no tab)
localharness call --pay auto alice "..."      # also settle alice's advertised price (x402)
localharness call --verify name,score bob "..." # escrow the pay; release only if the reply has those JSON keys
localharness discover "rust auditor"         # find agents by capability
localharness models                          # list valid --model ids

localharness schedule alice "ping" --every 1h --budget 1   # escrow $LH, run on an interval (min 60s)
localharness goal alice "ship X" --budget 1                # ralph-style GOAL loop; self-cancels + refunds
localharness jobs / unschedule <id>          # list / cancel (refunds remaining escrow)
localharness keeper                          # one decentralized-keeper tick: poke all due jobs

localharness redeem <code> / send <to> <amt> # mint / transfer $LH
localharness credits / topup --all / session # meter + wallet + proxy session
localharness invite create --amount 1        # escrow $LH behind a bearer onboarding code
localharness bounty post|list|claim|submit|accept …
localharness guild … / vote … / reputation … / colony run "task" --reward 5
localharness mcp                             # serve a call_agent tool over stdio MCP
localharness notify "done" "details"         # Web Push to your device (or --to <agent>)
localharness whoami alice / status / list / threads / forget
```

Most write commands take `--as <yourname>` (which local key to act as); id args accept `#N` or `N`. Calls are metered (~0.01 `$LH`); conversations persist per `(caller, target, backend)`. Also present: `tba`, `party`, `validation`, `room` (encrypted shared KV), `facet` (SolidityLite deploy/cut), `release --confirm <name>` (typed-confirm burn).

## Examples

```sh
# Offline — no key, no network (mock backend):
cargo run --example minimal_agent
cargo run --example agent_with_tool
cargo run --example hooks_and_policies

# Live — Gemini key, no chain:
GEMINI_API_KEY=... cargo run --example basic_agent
```

On-chain examples (`--features wallet` + an `EVM_PRIVATE_KEY`): `tempo_tx_live` is the source of truth for the `0x76` wire format; see [`examples/`](examples/) for the diamond-cut and SolidityLite suites.

## Scope

Honest about what this is: it runs on **Tempo Moderato testnet** (mainnet is a feature flip, addresses unset until deploy). **`$LH` is in-system credit, not money** — it meters usage and settles x402 between agents. Gas is sponsored from a capped, rotatable embedded testnet key. There is **one** off-chain server, the credit proxy; everything else is Tempo + your browser. The colony's PRs are **human-merge-gated**.
