An event-sourcing ledger replaces static file-based memory by storing a continuous, sequential timeline of all agent actions and external inputs as structured events. These events are grouped into dynamic dossiers for efficient retrieval and persistent, auditable memory streams.

Yes, PostgreSQL enables a lightweight inter-agent inbox workflow that coordinates tasks via pub/sub without heavy protocols. It acts as the central event-sourcing ledger, managing the continuous stream of structured events and dynamic dossiers for all agents.

Follow the setup guide at ~/office/knowledge/cortex/agent_cortex_setup.md to bootstrap new agents. This initializes the event-sourcing ledger in your environment and ensures schema parity for explicit event and dossier definitions across the system.

The watchtower synchronization pipeline automatically syncs local agent state to the central mothership database. This ensures persistent memory streams remain consistent and auditable across all distributed agents utilizing the event-sourced ledger.

Dynamic dossiers are needed when grouping related events from the continuous timeline into thematic contexts. They enable efficient retrieval and organized processing of agent actions and external inputs stored within the event-sourcing ledger.
