History / Agent Deployment Modes

Revisions

  • docs: Swarm — new wiki page covering multi-agent JAR composition - New Swarm.md with the mechanism explained end-to-end: ServiceLoader discovery, AgentProvider SPI, the three-step absorb implementation (validation → wrap-as-tool → register + auto-enable), runtime delegation diagram showing two-layer LLM dispatch, properties preserved (personality, independence, two-layer observability, no-type-erasure-trickery, single-JVM), multi-captain setups, and documented constraints (String input only, single tool per sibling, no cross-JAR static typing, no process isolation). - _Sidebar.md adds the Swarm link under "LLM Integration". - Agent-Deployment-Modes.md cross-references Swarm at the end of its tradeoffs section as the natural multi-agent extension. - API-Quick-Reference.md adds a Swarm section with the four symbols (AgentProvider, Swarm.discover, Swarm.discover(loader), Agent.absorb) in the same table format used elsewhere. Refs: #984.

  • Add Agent Deployment Modes page Same agent, three ways to ship it. Each mode is one line of glue away from the next — a deliberate progression that lets agents earn their way from embedded function to autonomous entity: - Library — agent<IN, OUT>("...") { } in your JVM, in-process - Hosted — + McpServer.from(agent).start() for an MCP endpoint - Autonomous — fun main(args) = exitProcess(McpRunner.serve(...)) runs as its own process / JAR / Docker / native binary The page covers all three with code, "best for" notes, an ASCII flow diagram, and a 7-row tradeoff table (overhead, type safety, deploy unit, scaling, isolation, language reach, ops cost). Closes with a "progression" section explaining when to advance modes. Sidebar and Home table updated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
