What problem does it solve?

The coordination server enables human-visible, auditable progress tracking for container agents by standardizing how status updates, phase transitions, and build results are posted and observed.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Identity tagging ensures messages are attributed to the correct agent and role.
• Defined posting channels and payload conventions support both general progress logs and role-specific updates.
• Supports standard message types (phase_start, phase_complete, phase_failed, build_result, status_update, summary) to enable end-to-end telemetry and traceability in CI/CD workflows.
• Use Case: An agent posts a hello to general, then emits phase_start and build_result messages as work proceeds, enabling operators to monitor progress through a dashboard.

Quick Start

Post a hello message to the general channel to verify connectivity and ensure operator visibility.
