- Add SERVICE_STATUS.md: Complete analysis of all blackroad.systems services
- Add check_all_services.sh: Automated service health checker script
- Add minimal-service template: Production-ready FastAPI service template
Service Status Findings:
- All 9 services return 403 Forbidden (Cloudflare blocking)
- Services are deployed and DNS is working correctly
- Issue is Cloudflare WAF/security rules, not service implementation
Template Features:
- Complete syscall API compliance (/v1/sys/*)
- Railway deployment ready
- CORS configuration
- Health and version endpoints
- HTML "Hello World" landing page
- OpenAPI documentation
Existing Service Implementations:
✓ Core API (services/core-api)
✓ Public API (services/public-api)
✓ Operator (operator_engine)
✓ Prism Console (prism-console)
✓ App/Shell (backend)
Next Steps:
1. Configure Cloudflare WAF to allow health check endpoints
2. Use minimal-service template for missing services
3. Implement full syscall API in existing services
4. Test inter-service RPC communication

- Each Cloudflare domain = mount point
- All services communicate via syscalls
- Unified kernel ensures interoperability
- DNS-aware service discovery
- Production and development environments
## Service Discovery
Services can now discover and call each other:
```typescript
import { rpc } from './kernel';
const user = await rpc.call('core', 'getUserById', { id: 123 });
```
## DNS Mappings
Production:
- operator.blackroad.systems →
blackroad-os-operator-production-3983.up.railway.app
- core.blackroad.systems → 9gw4d0h2.up.railway.app
- api.blackroad.systems → ac7bx15h.up.railway.app

## Next Steps
1. Sync kernel to satellite repos
2. Implement syscall endpoints in all services
3. Update services to use RPC for inter-service calls
4. Configure Cloudflare health checks
5. Deploy updated services to Railway

CRITICAL CHANGES:
- Add comprehensive deployment architecture documentation
- Prevent misconfiguration where monorepo is deployed instead of
satellites
- Clarify monorepo-to-satellite sync model across all docs
CHANGES:
1. railway.toml
- Add critical warning banner at top of file
- Mark config as local development/testing only
- Explain correct deployment model (satellites, not monorepo)
2. DEPLOYMENT_ARCHITECTURE.md (NEW)
- Complete 500+ line deployment guide
- Monorepo vs satellite model explained in detail
- Critical rules: NEVER add monorepo to Railway
- Service-to-repository mapping
- Environment configuration guide
- Cloudflare DNS configuration
- Common mistakes and troubleshooting
3. README.md
- Add prominent deployment warning box
- Clarify monorepo is source of truth, not deployable
- List satellite repos that should be deployed
- Reference DEPLOYMENT_ARCHITECTURE.md
4. CLAUDE.md
- Add critical deployment model section
- Clarify Railway deployment is satellite-only
- Update deployment workflow explanation
- Add key rules for deployment
5. backend/.env.example
- Fix ALLOWED_ORIGINS to reference satellites
- Remove monorepo Railway URL reference
- Add correct satellite service URLs
6. ops/domains.yaml
- Fix os.blackroad.systems DNS target
- Point to blackroad-os-core-production (satellite)
- Remove incorrect monorepo Railway URL
7. scripts/validate_deployment_config.py (NEW)
- Automated validation script
- Checks for monorepo references in configs
- Validates railway.toml, env files, DNS configs
- Ensures DEPLOYMENT_ARCHITECTURE.md exists
- Exit code 0 = pass, 1 = fail
WHY THIS MATTERS:
- Adding monorepo to Railway creates circular deploy loops
- Environment variables break (wrong service URLs)
- Cloudflare routing fails
- Service dependencies misconfigured
- Prevents production outages from misconfiguration
CORRECT MODEL:
- Monorepo = source of truth (orchestration only)
- Satellites = deployable services (Railway deployment)
- Code flows: monorepo → sync → satellite → Railway
See: DEPLOYMENT_ARCHITECTURE.md for complete details

This commit implements "entity SEO" for BlackRoad OS to ensure correct
entity recognition by both external LLMs and internal agents, and to
clearly distinguish BlackRoad from BlackRock.
New Files:
- ENTITIES.md: Canonical brand & entity reference with system prompt
templates
- docs/about-blackroad-os.md: Complete "About" page with vision and tech
stack
- docs/blackroad-vs-blackrock.md: FAQ page explicitly disambiguating the
two entities
- docs/github-metadata-updates.md: Reference for GitHub org/repo
descriptions
Updated Files:
- README.md: Added entity header with core entities and disambiguation
note
- CLAUDE.md: Added "Entity Grounding & Brand Context" section with
system prompt template
Key Features:
- Canonical entity definitions (Alexa, BlackRoad, Cecilia, Lucidia)
- Disambiguation rules to prevent BlackRoad/BlackRock confusion
- System prompt templates for agent grounding (ATLAS_BRAND_CONTEXT_v1)
- Public-facing copy for SEO and external model training
- GitHub metadata recommendations for discoverability
This creates a two-layer approach:
1. External SEO: Web pages, READMEs, docs (training data for public
models)
2. Internal prompt-SEO: System prompts, context packs (hardwired reality
for agents)

This creates a two-layer approach:
1. External SEO: Web pages, READMEs, docs (training data for public models)
2. Internal prompt-SEO: System prompts, context packs (hardwired reality for agents)
This protocol provides a structured framework for work-life balance assessment:
- 4 status levels (GREEN/YELLOW/ORANGE/RED) for "how down are we?"
- Reusable prompt templates for AI assistants
- Integration path for BlackRoad OS agents and UI
- Infrastructure-first thinking: humans require maintenance, not infinite scaling
Turns "can I chill?" from vibes into an actual operator protocol.
This commit integrates the LEITL (Live Everyone In The Loop) Protocol
and Cece Cognition Framework into the BlackRoad agent ecosystem,
enabling multi-agent collaboration and advanced reasoning capabilities.
**Changes:**
1. **Cognition Router Integration**
(`backend/app/routers/cognition.py`):
- Fixed import path for orchestration service
- Exposes full Cece Cognition Framework via REST API
- Endpoints for single agent execution and multi-agent workflows
- Supports sequential, parallel, and recursive execution modes
2. **Main App Updates** (`backend/app/main.py`):
- Added cognition router to imports
- Registered `/api/cognition` endpoints
- Added Cognition tag to OpenAPI docs
3. **BaseAgent LEITL Integration** (`agents/base/agent.py`):
- Added optional LEITL protocol support to base agent class
- New methods: `enable_leitl()`, `disable_leitl()`,
`_leitl_broadcast()`, `_leitl_heartbeat()`
- Automatic event broadcasting during agent execution lifecycle
- Events: task.started, task.completed, task.failed
- Heartbeat support for session keep-alive
4. **AgentRegistry LEITL Support** (`agents/base/registry.py`):
- Added `enable_leitl_for_all()` - Enable LEITL for all registered
agents
- Added `disable_leitl_for_all()` - Disable LEITL for all agents
- Added `get_leitl_status()` - Get LEITL status and session IDs
- Bulk agent session management
**Integration Architecture:**
```
User Request → Cognition API (/api/cognition)
↓
Orchestration Engine
↓
┌────────────┴──────────┐
↓ ↓
Cece Agent Other Agents
(15-step reasoning) (specialized)
↓ ↓
LEITL Protocol (if enabled)
↓
Redis PubSub + WebSocket
↓
Other active sessions
```
**New Capabilities:**
1. **Single Agent Execution**: POST /api/cognition/execute
- Execute Cece, Wasp, Clause, or Codex individually
- Full reasoning trace and confidence scores
2. **Multi-Agent Workflows**: POST /api/cognition/workflows
- Orchestrate multiple agents in complex workflows
- Sequential, parallel, or recursive execution
- Shared memory and context across agents
3. **LEITL Collaboration**:
- All agents can now broadcast their activity in real-time
- Multi-agent sessions can see each other's work
- Live activity feed via WebSocket
- Session management with heartbeats
4. **Agent Registry**:
- Bulk enable/disable LEITL for all agents
- Query LEITL status across the agent ecosystem
- Centralized session management
**Testing:**
- ✅ All Python files compile successfully
- ✅ Orchestration engine imports correctly
- ✅ BaseAgent with LEITL integration works
- ✅ AgentRegistry with LEITL support works
- ✅ Cece agent imports and executes
