+# 🗺️ Multi-Agent Mux (MAM): New Agent Types Extension Roadmap & Architecture Analysis
+
+- **Author**: Creator Agent (`creator-agy-01`)
+- **Date**: 2026-08-26
+- **Status**: Complete / Ready for Review
+- **Document Purpose**: Provide a comprehensive architectural review of recent layout enhancements and an actionable implementation blueprint for onboarding new agent backends (e.g., `codex`, `grok-build`, `opencode`, `kimi`, `cursor`).
+
+---
+
+## 1. Review of Recent Commit Changes
+
+### 1.1 Layout Engine Refinements (`lib_py/layout.py` & `lib.sh:432`)
+- **Constraint Relaxation**:
+  - `MAM_MIN_PANE_COLS` default was lowered from `60` -> `40` -> `15`. This allows dense multi-pane tiling in compact terminal environments (e.g. 80x24 standard terminals with 54x23 content areas) without prematurely triggering `column_width_overflow`.
+  - `MAM_MIN_PANE_ROWS` default was set to `0`. Vertical height constraints were removed because terminal panes support native scrollback buffers, allowing 2-row splitting even in constrained heights.
+- **Single-Workspace 2×K Multi-Pane Tiling**:
+  - Standard viewports (e.g. 54×23 content area in 80×24 window, or 90–100 col windows) cleanly progress through:
+    1. **1 Pane** $\rightarrow$ split down $\rightarrow$ **2 Panes** (top/bottom)
+    2. **2 Panes** $\rightarrow$ split right $\rightarrow$ **3 Panes** (starts column 2)
+    3. **3 Panes** $\rightarrow$ fill singleton down $\rightarrow$ **4 Panes** (2×2 balanced grid)
+    4. **4 Panes** $\rightarrow$ 5th pane overflows to a dedicated fresh workspace when column width $< 15$ cols.
+- **Verification & Test Suite**:
+  - `tests/test_layout.py` (27 unit tests) and `tests/test_tier1_unit.py` (59 unit tests) assert default `min_cols=15` and verify boundary conditions (e.g. 30 cols split vs 29 cols overflow; 54×23 compact window tiling).
+  - All 371 tests across the 18 test suites pass with 0 failures.
+

+
+## 2. Architecture & Contract for Adding New Agent Types
+
+MAM's architecture isolates agent-specific quirks into clean, pluggable Python adapters backed by a shared CLI bridge (`lib_py.agents`).

+## 3. Detailed Task Breakdown per Component
+
+To add a new agent type `<agent>` (e.g. `opencode`, `codex`, `kimi`, `grok`, `cursor`), the following 5 layers must be implemented:
+
+### Step 1: Implement the Agent Adapter (`.agents/skills/lib_py/agents/adapters/<agent>.py`)
+Create `<Agent>AgentAdapter` inheriting from `BaseAgentAdapter`:
+
+```python
+class NewAgentAdapter(BaseAgentAdapter):
+    @property
+    def name(self) -> str:
+        return 'newagent'
+
+    @property
+    def own_key(self) -> str:
+        # YAML state key stored under herdr_sessions[]
+        return 'newagent_session_id_own'  # or 'newagent_conversation_id_own'
+
+    @property
+    def ready_tokens(self) -> str:
+        # Regex matching banner / prompt when TUI is fully loaded and ready for input
+        return 'NewAgent|Assistant|Chat|Welcome'
+
+    @property
+    def exit_key(self) -> str:
+        # Graceful exit command sent to TUI (e.g., '/exit', 'Exit', 'quit', or ':q')
+        return '/exit'
+
+    @property
+    def delegate_agent_key(self) -> str:
+        # Canonical target identifier for delegate-job MQTT payloads
+        return 'newagent-cli'
+
+    @property
+    def identity_cache_fields(self) -> tuple:
+        return ('session_id',)
+
+    # Optional TUI Input Region Delimiters (for send_keys_safe visual parsing)
+    @property
+    def input_prompt(self) -> str:
+        return '❯'
+
+    @property
+    def input_placeholder(self) -> str:
+        return ''
+
+    @property
+    def input_rule_pattern(self) -> str:
+        return '─{10,}'
+
+    # Artifact & Session Tracking Lifecycle
+    def artifact_path(self, uuid: str, ctx: DiscoveryContext) -> str:
+        return f"{ctx.home_dir}/.newagent/sessions/{uuid}.json"
+
+    def verify_artifact(self, uuid: str, ctx: DiscoveryContext) -> bool:
+        path = self.artifact_path(uuid, ctx)
+        if not os.path.exists(path):
+            return False
+        if ctx.epoch and os.path.getmtime(path) < ctx.epoch:
+            return False
+        # Validate internal cwd / workspace match if supported by artifact format
+        return True
+
+    def purge_artifacts(self, uuid: str, ctx: DiscoveryContext) -> list:
+        # Remove on-disk session files when --purge-conversation is invoked
+        path = self.artifact_path(uuid, ctx)
+        if os.path.exists(path):
+            os.remove(path)
+            return [path]
+        return []
+
+    # Command-Line Invocation Synthesis
+    def spawn_spec(self, binary: str, session_uuid: str = "", use_wrapper: bool = False) -> str:
+        if session_uuid:
+            return f"{binary} --session {session_uuid}"
+        return binary
+
+    def resume_spec(self, binary: str, session_uuid: str, materialized: bool = False) -> str:
+        if materialized and session_uuid:
+            return f"{binary} --resume {session_uuid}"
+        return f"{binary} --session {session_uuid}" if session_uuid else binary
+
+    # Authentication & Health Check
+    def auth_ok(self, run_cmd: Optional[Any] = None) -> bool:
+        # Check config file, token file, or run CLI status command
+        return os.path.exists(f"{os.path.expanduser('~')}/.newagent/auth.json")
+
+    # Session Discovery
+    def discover(self, ctx: DiscoveryContext) -> list:
+        # Scan on-disk session directory for unassigned sessions matching ctx.workspace
+        return []
+```
+
+### Step 2: Register Adapter in Registry (`.agents/skills/lib_py/agents/registry.py`)
+- Import `NewAgentAdapter` in `registry.py`.
+- Add `'newagent': NewAgentAdapter()` to the `_ADAPTERS` dictionary.
+- Automatic registration immediately enables:
+  - `python -m lib_py.agents facts newagent`
+  - `python -m lib_py.agents resolve <session_name>`
+  - `python -m lib_py.agents spawn-spec newagent ...`
+  - `python -m lib_py.agents resume-spec newagent ...`
+  - `python -m lib_py.agents exit-key newagent`
+
+### Step 3: Shell Runtime Dispatch in `lib.sh`
+1. **Herdr Session Kind Mapping (`lib.sh:358-375`)**:
+   - Add `*-creator-newagent|*-planner-newagent|*-reviewer-newagent) kind="newagent" ;;`
+   - Add `elif echo "$name" | grep -qi "newagent"; then kind="newagent"` in fallback pattern.
+2. **Binary Name Stripping (`lib.sh:385`)**:
+   - Add `'newagent'` to the tuple of recognized agent binary names to prevent positional argument duplication when invoking `herdr agent start`.
+3. **Session Name Suffix Matching (`lib.sh:resolve_agent_name`)**:
+   - Supported automatically via `agent_of_row()` priority resolution.
+
+### Step 4: Herdr CLI Daemon Support
+- Confirm whether `herdr agent start <name> --kind <kind>` accepts the new agent kind:
+  - Built-in Herdr kinds: `claude`, `hermes`, `cline`, `generic`, etc.
+  - If Herdr 0.8.0 requires a known kind enum, either pass `--kind generic` or register the agent kind definition in Herdr's agent profile configuration.
+
+### Step 5: Test Suite & Contract Verification
+1. **Tier 1 Adapter Contract (`tests/test_a4_adapter_contract.py`)**:
+   - Add `'newagent'` to `test_agent_adapter_registry`.
+   - Add expected tuple to `test_adapter_required_properties`:
+     `('ready_tokens_regex', '/exit', 'newagent-cli', ('session_id',))`
+   - Verify `test_facts_bridge_eval_contract` for `newagent`.
+   - Add unit tests for `artifact_path`, `purge_artifacts`, and `discover`.
+2. **Tier 2 Lifecycle Tests (`tests/test_tier2_component.py`)**:
+   - Test session creation, YAML serialization, `stop_session.sh` graceful shutdown, and `resume_session.sh`.
+

+
+## 4. Work Difficulty & Complexity Assessment Matrix
+
+| Agent Type | Target CLI / Tool | Session Storage Format | Auth Strategy | Ready Tokens Pattern | Complexity Tier | Estimated Effort |
+|---|---|---|---|---|:---:|:---:|
+| **OpenCode** | `opencode` (CLI / TUI) | JSON files in `~/.opencode/sessions/` | Local token / API key | `OpenCode\|Chat\|Welcome` | **Tier 1 (Low)** | ~0.5 day |
+| **Codex CLI** | `codex` / `openai-codex` | JSONL in `~/.codex/projects/` | API Key (`OPENAI_API_KEY`) | `OpenAI Codex\|Assistant\|❯` | **Tier 1 (Low)** | ~0.5 day |
+| **Kimi CLI** | `kimi` (Moonshot CLI) | SQLite DB in `~/.kimi/history.db` | API Key in `~/.kimi/config` | `Kimi\|Moonshot\|Chat` | **Tier 1 (Low)** | ~0.5 day |
+| **Grok-Build** | `grok` / `grok-build` | JSON in `~/.grok/sessions/` | Token file / Env var | `Grok\|xAI\|Building` | **Tier 1 (Low)** | ~0.5 day |
+| **Cursor CLI** | `cursor` (Headless/RPC) | State DB in `~/.cursor/` or RPC port | OAuth / Cookie | `Cursor\|Connected\|Listening` | **Tier 2 (Medium)** | ~1.5 days |
+| **Custom Local LLM** | `ollama` / `vllm-cli` | Custom JSONL / stdout | None (Local host) | `>>>\|Send a message` | **Tier 2 (Medium)** | ~1.0 day |
+
+### Complexity Breakdown by Layer:
+1. **Tier 1 (Adapter Contract & Facts Bridge)**:
+   - *Effort*: Very Low.
+   - *Risk*: Zero risk to existing framework. Python `BaseAgentAdapter` interface is strictly decoupled and self-contained.
+2. **Tier 2 (Herdr Kind & Shell Lifecycle)**:
+   - *Effort*: Low.
+   - *Risk*: Standardized via `lib.sh:resolve_agent_type_from_registry` and `_sanitize_herdr_agent_name`.
+3. **Tier 3 (TUI Readiness & Input Capture)**:
+   - *Effort*: Low to Medium.
+   - *Risk*: Depends on whether the agent CLI emits predictable startup banner tokens and supports ANSI raw terminal input.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Reviewer Evaluation Guidelines
+
+When reviewing newly added agent adapters or layout enhancements, reviewers should verify:
+1. `BaseAgentAdapter` compliance (all abstract properties and methods implemented).
+2. Fail-safe behavior (graceful fallback if session transcript is missing or corrupted).
+3. Zero regression across existing test suites (`pytest tests/`).
+4. Proper documentation in `AGENTS.md` and `.mam.env.example`.

+
+## 1. Change Inventory
+
+| Item | File(s) | Status |
+|------|---------|--------|
+| Layout relax | `lib_py/layout.py`, `lib.sh:432`, `.mam.env.example`, `tests/test_layout.py`, `tests/test_tier1_unit.py` | **Committed** (`f3ac68f`) |
+| New-agent roadmap | `.agents/reports/new_agent_types_roadmap.md` (new, 229 lines) | **Untracked** |
+
+Commit `f3ac68f` — "feat(layout): relax MAM_MIN_PANE_COLS to 15 and remove
+vertical height constraints for scrollable terminal split":
+- `compute_2xk_layout` defaults: `min_cols` 40→**15**, `min_rows` 20→**0**.
+- CLI `--min-cols`/`--min-rows` argparse defaults: 15 / 0.
+- `lib.sh:432` fallbacks: `${MAM_MIN_PANE_COLS:-15}` / `${MAM_MIN_PANE_ROWS:-0}`.
+- Both height-overflow guards now short-circuit on `min_rows > 0 and ...`
+  (single-pane and singleton-column paths), so default `min_rows=0` disables
+  vertical constraints while a positive env value re-engages them.
+- `.mam.env.example` updated (default 15 / 0, terminology aligned to tmux
+  horizontal=side-by-side / vertical=top-bottom).
+- Tests rewritten to assert `min_cols=15` boundary (30 split vs 29 overflow)
+  and `min_rows=0` behavior.
+
+## 2. Lint / Syntax / Drift
+
+- `python -m py_compile lib_py/layout.py` → **OK**
+- `bash -n .agents/skills/lib.sh` → **OK**
+- Stale-default sweep (`:-40`, `:-20`, `min_cols: int = 40`, `min_rows: int = 20`,
+  `default=40`, `default=20`) across `.agents`/`tests` → **clean (no orphans)**.
+  All authoritative default sites are consistently 15 / 0.
+- Working-tree drift: only the roadmap file is untracked; no stray/dirty
+  submodule or out-of-scope edits this round (cleaner than the prior review).
+
+## 3. Layout Implementation — Operability Verification
+
+### Goal: dense tiling in compact viewports without premature overflow
+- **Column boundary** (`width // 2 < min_cols`, strict `<`): at width 30 →
+  `30//2 = 15`, `15 < 15` False → splits right; at width 29 → `29//2 = 14 < 15`
+  → `column_width_overflow`. CLI-confirmed: 30-col → `right p1`, 29-col →
+  `overflow p1`. ✓
+- **`min_rows=0` disables height checks**: a single 80×3 pane → `down p1`
+  (splits down; scrollback rationale holds). With an explicit positive
+  `MAM_MIN_PANE_ROWS`, the `min_rows > 0 and ...` guards re-engage the
+  `single_pane_height_constrained` / `singleton_height_overflow` paths — so
+  the disable is opt-out, not a hard removal. Well-designed. ✓
+- **Tiling progression** (1→2 down, 2→3 right, 3→4 fill-singleton down,
+  4→5 overflow) unchanged in structure; only thresholds moved. The 54×23 /
+  90–100 col scenarios described in the roadmap now fit 4 panes per workspace
+  where the old 60/20 defaults could not even open a 2nd column. ✓
+
+### Tests
+- `tests/test_layout.py` + `tests/test_tier1_unit.py` → **85 passed in 9.11s**.
+- `tests/test_a4_adapter_contract.py` → **13 passed in 0.47s**.
+## 4. New-Agent-Types Roadmap — Feasibility Assessment
+
+The roadmap (`new_agent_types_roadmap.md`) is a planning/architecture document,
+not executable code. Its value rests on the accuracy of its codebase references
+and the soundness of its blueprint. Both verified:
+
+| Roadmap claim | Verification | Result |
+|---------------|--------------|--------|
+| Adapter framework `lib_py.agents` with `BaseAgentAdapter` | `lib_py/agents/{base.py,registry.py,sanitize.py,input_region.py,adapters/}` exist | ✓ |
+| `BaseAgentAdapter` interface (name, own_key, ready_tokens, exit_key, delegate_agent_key, identity_cache_fields, input_prompt, input_rule_pattern, artifact_path, verify_artifact, purge_artifacts, spawn_spec, resume_spec, auth_ok, discover) | All symbols present in `base.py` at the cited lines | ✓ exact |
+| `DiscoveryContext` used in template code | `class DiscoveryContext` at `base.py:15` | ✓ |
+| Step 2: add `'newagent': NewAgentAdapter()` to `_ADAPTERS` | `registry.py` `_ADAPTERS` dict registers claude/agy/hermes/cline exactly this way | ✓ proven pattern |
+| Step 3.1: herdr kind mapping `lib.sh:358-375` | kind dispatch at `lib.sh:357-371` (creator/planner/reviewer → kind) | ✓ (line off by ~4) |
+| Step 3.3: "automatic via `agent_of_row()`" | `agent_of_row()` + `matches_session_name()` in `registry.py` | ✓ |
+| Step 5.1: contract tests `test_agent_adapter_registry` / `test_adapter_required_properties` / `test_facts_bridge_eval_contract` | All three present in `test_a4_adapter_contract.py` (lines 28/58/79) | ✓ |
+| Step 5.2: `tests/test_tier2_component.py` | File exists | ✓ |
+
+**Feasibility verdict**: The 5-step blueprint (adapter class → registry →
+`lib.sh` dispatch → herdr `--kind` → contract/lifecycle tests) is the correct
+layering and is proven by the four existing adapters. The complexity matrix
+(Tier 1 adapter ≈ 0.5 day; Tier 2 herdr-kind/lifecycle; Tier 3 TUI readiness)
+is reasonable. The document is actionable as-is.
+
+## 5. Findings (advisory, non-blocking)
+
+### F-1 (hygiene): Roadmap file is untracked
+`git status` lists `.agents/reports/new_agent_types_roadmap.md` as untracked.
+Since it is a deliverable referenced by this job's output contract, it should
+be `git add`-ed and committed (e.g. `docs(roadmap): new agent types extension
+blueprint`) so the planning artifact persists. Content is fine; only tracking
+state needs action.
+
+### F-2 (verification gap): Full-suite green not independently confirmed
+The roadmap §1.1 asserts "all 371 tests across 18 suites pass." This review
+confirmed 98 unit tests across all touched files plus the adapter-contract
+suite, but did not re-run the full integration suite within the time budget.
+**Direction**: confirm the full `pytest tests/` is green in CI before merge;
+no code change implied.
+
+### F-3 (doc wording nit): `min_rows=0` is "disabled-by-default", not "removed"
+Roadmap §1.1 says vertical constraints were "removed." Precisely, the guards
+are `min_rows > 0 and ...`, so a positive `MAM_MIN_PANE_ROWS` env value
+re-engages height checks. The doc slightly understates this opt-in
+re-enablement. **Direction**: one-line wording fix ("disabled by default;
+re-enabled by setting MAM_MIN_PANE_ROWS>0") for operator accuracy. Non-blocking.
+
+## 6. Summary
+
+The committed layout change correctly and consistently relaxes `min_cols` to
+15 and defaults `min_rows` to 0 (disabled-by-default, re-engaged via env) with
+matching, passing tests (98 verified green) and clean syntax. The new-agent
+roadmap is a feasible, accurately-referenced blueprint grounded in the real
+adapter framework (every cited file, symbol, and test verified to exist). The
+three findings are commit-hygiene / verification-gap / wording nits that do
+not affect correctness, operability, or feasibility, and require no redesign.
