+# Server-Sent Events (SSE) Transport Protocol
+
+## Overview
+
+Server-Sent Events (SSE) provides unidirectional server-to-client streaming over HTTP. This specification defines how OSSA agents use SSE for real-time event delivery, status updates, and streaming responses.
+
+## Connection Model
+
+SSE is a **one-way protocol**: server sends events to client. For bidirectional communication, combine SSE (server→client) with HTTP POST (client→server).
+
+```
+Client ─────POST───────> Server  (Commands/Requests)
+       <────SSE Events── Server  (Events/Responses)
+```
+
+## Connection Establishment
+
+### Client Connection
+
+```typescript
+const eventSource = new EventSource('https://agent.example.com/events', {
+  withCredentials: true
+});
+
+eventSource.addEventListener('message', (event) => {
+  const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
+  console.log('Received:', data);
+});
+
+eventSource.addEventListener('error', (error) => {
+  console.error('Connection error:', error);
+});
+```
+
+### Server Response Format
+
+```http
+HTTP/1.1 200 OK
+Content-Type: text/event-stream
+Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate
+Connection: keep-alive
+X-Accel-Buffering: no
+
+data: {"type":"connected","timestamp":"2025-12-18T14:00:00Z"}
+
+```
+
+## Event Format
+
+### SSE Message Structure
+
+```
+event: <event-type>
+id: <message-id>
+retry: <reconnect-time-ms>
+data: <json-payload>
+
+```
+
+### OSSA Event Schema
+
+```typescript
+interface SSEEvent {
+  type: 'message' | 'status' | 'capability_response' | 'error';
+  id: string;                    // Unique event ID
+  timestamp: string;              // ISO 8601 timestamp
+  payload: unknown;               // Event-specific data
+  metadata: {
+    agentId: string;              // Source agent URI
+    streamId?: string;            // For multi-stream scenarios
+    correlationId?: string;       // Links to originating request
+    sequence?: number;            // Event sequence number
+    final?: boolean;              // Indicates last event in sequence
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## Event Types
+
+### 1. Message Event
+
+Standard event delivery:
+
+```
+event: message
+id: msg-123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000
+data: {
+data:   "type": "message",
+data:   "timestamp": "2025-12-18T14:00:00Z",
+data:   "payload": {
+data:     "channel": "content.published",
+data:     "data": {"contentId": "node-123", "status": "published"}
+data:   },
+data:   "metadata": {
+data:     "agentId": "agent://example.com/publisher",
+data:     "sequence": 42
+data:   }
+data: }
+
+```
+
+### 2. Status Update
+
+Agent health and status streams:
+
+```
+event: status
+id: status-456e7890-a12b-34c5-d678-901234567890
+data: {
+data:   "type": "status",
+data:   "timestamp": "2025-12-18T14:00:00Z",
+data:   "payload": {
+data:     "status": "healthy",
+data:     "load": 0.45,
+data:     "uptime": 86400
+data:   },
+data:   "metadata": {
+data:     "agentId": "agent://example.com/worker-1"
+data:   }
+data: }
+
+```
+
+### 3. Capability Response
+
+Streaming response to capability invocation:
+
+```
+event: capability_response
+id: resp-789a0123-b45c-67d8-e901-234567890123
+data: {
+data:   "type": "capability_response",
+data:   "timestamp": "2025-12-18T14:00:00Z",
+data:   "payload": {
+data:     "capability": "analyze_content",
+data:     "result": {"sentiment": "positive", "score": 0.85}
+data:   },
+data:   "metadata": {
+data:     "agentId": "agent://example.com/analyzer",
+data:     "correlationId": "req-789",
+data:     "final": true
+data:   }
+data: }
+
+```
+
+### 4. Error Event
+
+Error notifications:
+
+```
+event: error
+id: err-234f5678-g90h-12i3-j456-789012345678
+data: {
+data:   "type": "error",
+data:   "timestamp": "2025-12-18T14:00:00Z",
+data:   "payload": {
+data:     "code": "PROCESSING_ERROR",
+data:     "message": "Failed to process request",
+data:     "retryable": true
+data:   },
+data:   "metadata": {
+data:     "agentId": "agent://example.com/agent",
+data:     "correlationId": "req-789"
+data:   }
+data: }
+
+```
+
+## Authentication
+
+### Bearer Token
+
+```typescript
+// Modern browsers
+const eventSource = new EventSource('https://agent.example.com/events', {
+  withCredentials: true
+});
+
+// Server sets cookie or client sends Authorization header
+// Note: EventSource doesn't support custom headers in browsers
+// Use cookie-based auth or proxy
+```
+
+### Query Parameter Authentication
+
+For environments without cookie support:
+
+```typescript
+const token = await getAuthToken();
+const eventSource = new EventSource(
+  `https://agent.example.com/events?token=${token}`
+);
+```
+
+## Reconnection and Reliability
+
+### Automatic Reconnection
+
+EventSource automatically reconnects with:
+
+- Default retry: 3 seconds
+- Server can customize via `retry` field
+
+```
+retry: 5000
+data: {"type":"message","payload":{...}}
+
+```
+
+### Last-Event-ID
+
+Client sends last received event ID on reconnect:
+
+```http
+GET /events HTTP/1.1
+Host: agent.example.com
+Last-Event-ID: msg-123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000
+```
+
+Server resumes from that event:
+
+```typescript
+app.get('/events', (req, res) => {
+  const lastEventId = req.headers['last-event-id'];
+
+  // Replay events after lastEventId
+  if (lastEventId) {
+    const missedEvents = getEventsSince(lastEventId);
+    missedEvents.forEach(event => sendSSE(res, event));
+  }
+
+  // Continue with live events
+  streamLiveEvents(res);
+});
+```
+
+## Streaming Patterns
+
+### 1. Event Stream
+
+Continuous event delivery:
+
+```typescript
+// Server
+app.get('/events', (req, res) => {
+  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/event-stream');
+  res.setHeader('Cache-Control', 'no-cache');
+  res.setHeader('Connection', 'keep-alive');
+
+  const sendEvent = (event: SSEEvent) => {
+    res.write(`event: ${event.type}\n`);
+    res.write(`id: ${event.id}\n`);
+    res.write(`data: ${JSON.stringify(event)}\n\n`);
+  };
+
+  // Subscribe to events
+  const subscription = eventBus.subscribe((event) => {
+    sendEvent(event);
+  });
+
+  req.on('close', () => {
+    subscription.unsubscribe();
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### 2. Request-Response Streaming
+
+Long-running capability execution:
+
+```typescript
+// Client initiates capability call via POST
+const response = await fetch('/capabilities/analyze', {
+  method: 'POST',
+  body: JSON.stringify({ contentId: 'node-123' })
+});
+
+const { streamId } = await response.json();
+
+// Subscribe to result stream
+const eventSource = new EventSource(`/events?stream=${streamId}`);
+
+eventSource.addEventListener('capability_response', (event) => {
+  const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
+
+  if (data.metadata.final) {
+    eventSource.close();
+    console.log('Final result:', data.payload.result);
+  } else {
+    console.log('Progress:', data.payload);
+  }
+});
+```
+
+### 3. Multiplexed Streams
+
+Multiple logical streams over one SSE connection:
+
+```typescript
+// Client subscribes to multiple channels
+const eventSource = new EventSource(
+  '/events?channels=content.published,user.login,agent.status'
+);
+
+eventSource.addEventListener('message', (event) => {
+  const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
+
+  switch (data.payload.channel) {
+    case 'content.published':
+      handleContentPublished(data);
+      break;
+    case 'user.login':
+      handleUserLogin(data);
+      break;
+    case 'agent.status':
+      handleAgentStatus(data);
+      break;
+  }
+});
+```
+
+## Heartbeat and Keepalive
+
+Server SHOULD send periodic comments to prevent connection timeout:
+
+```
+: heartbeat - 2025-12-18T14:00:00Z
+
+data: {"type":"message","payload":{...}}
+
+: heartbeat - 2025-12-18T14:01:00Z
+
+```
+
+Recommended heartbeat interval: 30 seconds
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Connection Errors
+
+```typescript
+eventSource.addEventListener('error', (error) => {
+  if (eventSource.readyState === EventSource.CLOSED) {
+    console.log('Connection closed permanently');
+    // Implement custom reconnection logic if needed
+  } else {
+    console.log('Connection error, auto-reconnecting...');
+  }
+});
+```
+
+### Event Processing Errors
+
+```typescript
+eventSource.addEventListener('message', (event) => {
+  try {
+    const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
+    processEvent(data);
+  } catch (error) {
+    console.error('Failed to process event:', error);
+    // Log but don't close connection
+  }
+});
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Buffering
+
+Disable buffering for real-time delivery:
+
+```http
+X-Accel-Buffering: no
+```
+
+Nginx:
+
+```nginx
+location /events {
+  proxy_pass http://backend;
+  proxy_buffering off;
+  proxy_cache off;
+}
+```
+
+### Connection Limits
+
+- Browser limit: 6 connections per domain
+- Use single SSE connection per domain
+- Multiplex channels over one connection
+
+### Memory Management
+
+Server SHOULD:
+
+1. Limit event buffer size (e.g., last 100 events)
+2. Implement event expiry (e.g., 5 minutes)
+3. Track active connections and enforce limits
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **HTTPS Required** - Always use HTTPS in production
+2. **CORS** - Configure proper CORS headers
+3. **Authentication** - Use cookie-based or query param auth
+4. **Rate Limiting** - Limit events per connection
+5. **Event Filtering** - Only send events user has permission to see
+
+```http
+Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://trusted-domain.com
+Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
+```
+
+## Bidirectional Communication
+
+Combine SSE with HTTP POST for bidirectional flow:
+
+```typescript
+// Client sends command
+const response = await fetch('/capabilities/process', {
+  method: 'POST',
+  body: JSON.stringify({ data: 'input' })
+});
+
+const { taskId } = await response.json();
+
+// Server streams progress via SSE
+const eventSource = new EventSource(`/events?task=${taskId}`);
+
+eventSource.addEventListener('capability_response', (event) => {
+  const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
+  updateProgress(data.payload);
+
+  if (data.metadata.final) {
+    eventSource.close();
+  }
+});
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Real-time Status Dashboard
+
+```typescript
+// Server
+app.get('/agent-status', (req, res) => {
+  res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/event-stream');
+  res.setHeader('Cache-Control', 'no-cache');
+  res.setHeader('Connection', 'keep-alive');
+
+  const interval = setInterval(() => {
+    const status = {
+      type: 'status',
+      id: uuid(),
+      timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
+      payload: {
+        activeAgents: getActiveAgentCount(),
+        queueDepth: getQueueDepth(),
+        throughput: getThroughput()
+      },
+      metadata: {
+        agentId: 'agent://example.com/monitor'
+      }
+    };
+
+    res.write(`event: status\n`);
+    res.write(`id: ${status.id}\n`);
+    res.write(`data: ${JSON.stringify(status)}\n\n`);
+  }, 5000);
+
+  req.on('close', () => clearInterval(interval));
+});
+
+// Client
+const eventSource = new EventSource('/agent-status');
+eventSource.addEventListener('status', (event) => {
+  const status = JSON.parse(event.data);
+  updateDashboard(status.payload);
+});
+```
