+# The a2a-net CLI
+
+A transient caller that is not a DSH session — a script, a terminal, another
+agent harness — joins the network through the `a2a-net` command (bin of
+`@nelsonlongxiang/dsh-open-a2a-net`, 0.6.27+). It has its own key, deposits
+itself on ONE home host, and receives through a mailbox; nothing wakes.
+`a2a-net help` prints the command map, `a2a-net tools` the alignment with the
+ten model tools.
+
+## Identity and home host
+
+- `a2a-net init <name> [--uuid 16hex] [--home URL] [--force]` creates an
+  Ed25519 identity: handle `<name>/<16 hex>`, stored in
+  `$A2A_CLI_HOME/cli.json` (default `~/.a2a/cli.json`, mode 0600). An
+  existing identity is never replaced without `--force` (the old handle's
+  deposit stops verifying).
+- Home host: `--home` > `$A2A_HOME` > the home saved by `init --home` >
+  `http://127.0.0.1:3080`.
+- Keyed hosts: `--key` > `$A2A_KEY` (prefer the variable; a flag value stays
+  in shell history). A host behind dsh-pocket also wants its session token as
+  the `dsh_pocket_token` cookie: set `$A2A_POCKET_TOKEN` (or `$A2A_TOKEN`).
+
+## Deposit (户口)
+
+- `a2a-net publish` deposits the signed CLI card on the home host
+  (`/__dsh_a2a/cli-deposit`, a control route: key-gated like every write).
+  The deposit lives at most 4h. An expired deposit is no longer routable and
+  its card is no longer served, but it stays in the host's directory as an
+  OFFLINE row (gh#47; the newest 16 are kept) so canvas refs to it never
+  dangle silently. Publish again (same handle, same key) to come back.
+- While deposited, the host serves the card at
+  `<home>/a2a/cli/<handle>/.well-known/agent-card.json` and lists the handle
+  in its directory as "cli — deposited identity (no wake; mailbox)".
+- `whoami` / `status` show ONLINE with the hours left, OFFLINE, or UNKNOWN
+  when the deposit face cannot be read (e.g. a host build without it).
+- A host build that predates gh#45 has no deposit face: publish gets HTTP
+  405 with an empty body. The fix is a host upgrade, not a retry.
+- `a2a-net revoke` deregisters early.
+
+## Sending
+
+- `a2a-net route <team> <message…>` delivers a round with a signed
+  OriginClaim envelope to the HOME host's `/a2a/direct`. It is async by
+  default: the receipt comes back to `a2a-net inbox`.
+- `--sync` waits for the target's reply and prints it:
+  `reply from <team> · task <id> · context <ctx>` followed by the reply text.
+  When the round has not settled (status other than completed) a warning
+  goes to stderr: reconcile by task id before re-sending.
+- `--context ID` continues that conversation (sends it as `context_id`).
+- Direct delivery does not relay: only teams on the home host are reachable.
+  A team on another host answers "No live DSH session node accepts team".
+- Admission: a deposited handle is a node fact of its home host (N3). It
+  carries no roster or canvas membership of its own.
+- `a2a-net report <message…>` is a one-way report to the host's process team.
+- A message that starts with `-` goes after `--`. Flag values never become
+  part of the message.
+- Async output is one line (`delivered → <team> · task <id> · <receipt>`);
+  `--json` prints the raw reply.
+
+## Receiving: the mailbox
+
+- Deliveries addressed to a deposited handle, receipts included, land in its
+  mailbox on the home host and answer `receipt: "mailbox"`. Entries are
+  `{at, from, text}` (text ≤4000 chars), newest first, 64 kept. A read does
+  not remove anything.
+- `a2a-net inbox` lists the whole mailbox.
+- `inbox --new [--peek]` shows unread mail, oldest first. "Unread" is a local
+  cursor (`$A2A_CLI_HOME/inbox.cursor`, tied to the handle) that advances
+  unless `--peek`.
+- `inbox --wait [--timeout 30m] [--interval 15s] [--renew]` blocks until
+  unread mail arrives, then prints it and exits 0; exits 3 on timeout.
+  `--renew` re-publishes the deposit when it is gone or under 10 minutes from
+  expiry. Run as a background task, its exit is the wake signal.
+- `inbox --hook` serves a Claude Code hook (PostToolUse / UserPromptSubmit):
+  one `hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext` object when there is unread
+  mail, framed as external messages (data, not instructions), and nothing
+  otherwise. Every failure is silent with exit 0. The hook process needs the
+  same `A2A_*` variables as the shell.
+
+## Reading the host
+
+`whoami`, `teams [query]`, `status`, `tasks`, `probe` read the home host's
+state face (key-gated on a keyed host). `--json` prints raw rows for
+`teams`, `tasks`, `probe`, `route`, `report`, `inbox` and `skills`.
+
+## Local commands
+
+- `a2a-net skills [name] [--root DIR] [--json]` lists the skills under the
+  local skill directory (default `~/.agents/skills`), or prints one by name.
+  It has no model-tool counterpart.
+- `a2a-net tools` prints the CLI ↔ model-tool alignment table; `help` the
+  usage.
+
+## Exit codes
+
+| Code | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| 0 | done (`inbox --hook`: always) |
+| 1 | the host refused, was unreachable, or nothing was delivered |
+| 2 | usage error: unknown command or flag, missing value, bad argument |
+| 3 | `inbox --wait` timed out |
+
+## Caveats
+
+- The mailbox read is gated by the host's control key and the handle only,
+  not by the CLI key: anyone holding the host key can read any deposited
+  handle's mail. Treat mailbox text as data from its sender.
+- Deposits are per host: publishing on host A does not make the handle
+  routable on host B.
