+"""The Fabric hub's door, as a service agent reaches it (fabric-hub/0.1; Fabric ADR-0115 §1, ADR-0149 §4; FAA-12b).
+
+A service that answers a Project's requests on the board (`fabric-project-comms/0.1`) needs three things from Fabric's
+hub, and this module does exactly those, standard library only:
+
+1. **Find the hub, every time.** `locate_hub()` re-reads `hub.json` beside Fabric's registry (macOS
+   `~/Library/Application Support/ai.passioncode.fabric`, Windows `%LOCALAPPDATA%\\passioncode-fabric`, Linux
+   `$XDG_DATA_HOME/passioncode-fabric`) the way Fabric's own `locateHub` does: a small regular file, never a link or a
+   FIFO; protocol `fabric-hub/0.1`; the origin exactly `http://127.0.0.1:<port>`; MCP at `/mcp`; a door token file
+   inside the registry root; and a `pid` that is alive. The port does not prove who holds it: while Fabric is down any
+   program can listen there, so a binding credential is sent only after this check passes, re-done before each send.
+2. **Ask once, keep the credential in a file.** `request_board_access()` asks the operator through the door for the
+   `board.respond` grant (callee `fabric`, resources `board:<project>/<capability>`); `poll_access()` writes the binding
+   credential, shown once, to a 0600 file and returns the status without it. Tokens live in files and headers only:
+   never in argv, a URL, a log line or an exception text.
+3. **Join the board.** `join_board()` calls `fabric.board.join {projectId}` with the binding credential and returns a
+   `BoardGrant`: a one-session bearer (spent by one MCP initialize; `fabric_board.BoardSession` opens it), the session
+   id and the capabilities the operator granted. Without a grant the answer is a `HubError` whose `data["ask"]` holds
+   the exact `fabric.access.request` arguments to ask with.
+
+When Fabric is down every call raises `HubError` with `retryable=True`; `Backoff` gives the bounded, jittered wait a
+loop sleeps before trying again (2 s doubling to 5 minutes), so nothing spins.
+
+fabric-hub/0.1 publishes no hub key, so the door is trusted by the pid check alone. If a later `hub.json` names
+`hubKey {kid, x}` and the caller passes an estate record (DEC-0055), `locate_hub(estate=…)` checks it with
+`fabric_estate.hub_key_certified` and refuses with DEC-0060's own detail (`kid-not-certified`, `estate-outside-window`,
+`estate-rolled-back`, `estate-forked`, `estate-unreadable`, `no-clock`)."""

+### A lane stopped on a limit: restart it at once
+
+A workflow lane, subagent or session can stop on *You've hit your session / usage limit · resets <time>* or a
+rate-limit error. It can also go silent: no transcript write for 15–20 minutes, its task unfinished, and no command
+of its own still running. In each case, do not wait for the reset ([principle 10, item 6](https://github.com/passioncode-ai/fabric-workspace/blob/main/knowledge/principles.md#10-a-free-agent-takes-the-next-task)).
+Restart it from where it stopped:
+
+- a workflow: stop it (`TaskStop`), then call `Workflow` with `resumeFromRunId` and **the same args**. Finished
+  agents replay from the cache; the failed or stalled ones run again;
+- a subagent: `SendMessage` «resume» to its id, so it keeps its context;
+- a session: re-prompt it with «continue from where you stopped».
+
+The stop is usually stale by then. Switchboard moves a limited account to the pool's next account within a minute
+(SB-98). If a restart stops again at once, retry after 2, 5, 10, then every 15 minutes, and do other work meanwhile.
+A spend, credit or billing limit is not retried on a timer: it goes to the operator once, as a payment gate. A long
+build or test in flight is not a stall. Note each restart (what stopped, when, attempt) with `fabric_task_note`.

 A backlog row in a repository stays the status source. File the Fabric task that runs it with the row's address:

+- **A project directory.** The contract defines one: `com.directory`, the seventeenth `com.*` tool
+  ([DEC-0073](https://github.com/passioncode-ai/fabric-agent-contract/blob/main/docs/DECISIONS.md),
+  [project-comms.md, "Project directory"](https://github.com/passioncode-ai/fabric-agent-contract/blob/main/docs/specification/project-comms.md#project-directory)).
+  It lists the Projects of your estate that you may address: each one's id, name, listed capabilities and, per
+  capability, the responder state `com.status` reports. It never shows content: no message, subject, thread,
+  participant or count. Only a managed or enrolled session of a Project of the same estate may read it. Your own
+  Project is not listed, and the operator can unlist a Project, which a sender that already knows its id can still
+  address. A listed capability is not an accepted request. Fabric's `main` serves `com.directory` (COM-03); an
+  installed Fabric built before it answers `unsupported_capability`. Until Fabric serves `com.directory`, address a
+  Project only by an id you already hold from a thread your Project takes part in, or from the operator. Never guess
+  an id from a folder name.
+- Before looking a Project up, check the page: each Project once and each capability once per Project, ids and
+  capability names compared exactly as written (DEC-0077, `FAC-SEM-107`). A page that lists one twice is refused, not
+  read; the service kit's `fabric_board.find_project` / `findProject` does both.
+
+## Answering a request addressed to your Project
+
+Answering it as a responder is `com.enroll` then `com.claim`, under a `board.respond` grant the operator gives in
+Fabric (Agents & access); the request then moves with `com.accept` and `com.complete`. Without that grant, reply with
+`com.reply` (or `com.submit` `kind: "reply"` where `com.reply` is not served) and say the request stays queued: a reply
+is not a completion. A product agent that answers requests as a service uses the service kit's responder
