-### Core Security
-- **Post-quantum cryptography:** ML-KEM-768 key encapsulation, ML-DSA-65 digital signatures (FIPS 203/204)
-- **Hybrid key agreement:** X-Wing combiner (IETF draft-10) with 6-parameter domain separation
-- **XorIDA split-channel delivery:** Information-theoretic threshold sharing (2-of-2, 2-of-3, 3-of-5)
-- **Cryptographic request signing:** Ed25519 signatures prevent DID header forgery
-- **Key rotation:** ML-KEM + X25519 rotation with fallback decryption (10 rotation history)

+
+## Automatic XorIDA Split-Channel Protection
+
+xBind automatically activates information-theoretic XorIDA threshold sharing for high-risk operations. No code changes required—security is transparent.
+
+### Risk Tags (Recommended for Crypto)
+
+For cryptocurrency transactions (BTC, ETH, etc.), use explicit risk tags in your payload:
+
+```typescript
+// Low risk: 2-of-2 threshold
+await agent.send({
+  to: recipientDid,
+  payload: { amount: 0.5, currency: 'BTC', risk: 'low' }
+});
+
+// Medium risk: 2-of-3 threshold
+await agent.send({
+  to: recipientDid,
+  payload: { amount: 5.0, currency: 'ETH', risk: 'medium' }
+});
+
+// High risk: 3-of-5 threshold
+await agent.send({
+  to: recipientDid,
+  payload: { amount: 50, currency: 'BTC', risk: 'high' }
+});
+
+// Critical risk: 3-of-5 threshold
+await agent.send({
+  to: recipientDid,
+  payload: { amount: 100, currency: 'BTC', risk: 'critical' }
+});
+```
+
+### Fiat Currency Auto-Detection
+
+For fiat currencies (USD, EUR, GBP), xBind uses numeric thresholds:
+
+```typescript
+// Automatically triggers 2-of-3 (amount >= $100,000)
+await agent.send({
+  to: recipientDid,
+  payload: { amount: 500000, currency: 'USD', action: 'transfer' }
+});
+
+// Automatically triggers 3-of-5 (amount >= $1,000,000)
+await agent.send({
+  to: recipientDid,
+  payload: { amount: 2500000, currency: 'USD', action: 'transfer' }
+});
+```
+
+### Manual Security Override
+
+Override automatic detection with explicit security levels:
+
+```typescript
+// Force 2-of-3 regardless of amount/risk
+await agent.send({
+  to: recipientDid,
+  payload: data,
+  security: 'high'
+});
+
+// Force 3-of-5 for maximum security
+await agent.send({
+  to: recipientDid,
+  payload: data,
+  security: 'critical'
+});
+
+// Disable XorIDA (standard encrypted transport)
+await agent.send({
+  to: recipientDid,
+  payload: data,
+  security: 'standard'
+});
+```
+
+### Threshold Schemes
+
+| Risk Tag / Threshold | Shares | Required | Security Level |
+|---------------------|--------|----------|----------------|
+| `low` | 2 | 2 | 2-of-2 threshold |
+| `medium` / $100k-$1M | 3 | 2 | 2-of-3 threshold |
+| `high` / `critical` / >$1M | 5 | 3 | 3-of-5 threshold |
+| No tag / <$100k | — | — | Standard encrypted transport |
+
+**Key Insight:** XorIDA is information-theoretically secure. Any K-1 shares reveal zero information about the secret, even with unlimited computing power. Quantum computers cannot break XorIDA.
+
+### Security Mode Description (Structured)
+
+Get human-readable descriptions of security modes in multiple formats:
+
+```typescript
+import { describeSecurityModeStructured } from '@private.me/xbind';
+
+// Describe a split-channel security mode
+const mode = { type: 'split', shares: 3, threshold: 2 };
+const description = describeSecurityModeStructured(mode);
+
+// Single-line format (for UI labels)
+console.log(description.formats.singleline); // "2-of-3 XorIDA"
+
+// Multi-line format (for detailed explanations)
+console.log(description.formats.multiline);
+// Output:
+// Security Mode: 2-of-3 XorIDA Split-Channel
+// Shares: 3 total, 2 required to reconstruct
+// Information-theoretic security (quantum-resistant)
+
+// Markdown format (for documentation)
+console.log(description.formats.markdown);
+// Output:
+// **Security Mode:** 2-of-3 XorIDA Split-Channel
+// - **Shares:** 3 total, 2 required to reconstruct
+// - **Security:** Information-theoretic (quantum-resistant)
+```

+
+## Gateway
+
+Non-authoritative coordination for discovery, relay, push notifications, and state checkpoints. Cannot forge identity or decide trust. See [Gateway Architecture](./docs/gateway-architecture.md).
+
+## Connection Models
+
+xBind provides four connection models for entity-to-entity authentication: Invite Code (email-based onboarding), QR Code (physical proximity pairing), Trust Registry (pre-authorized enterprise), and Peer Discovery (mDNS local network). All use cryptographic DIDs.
+
+| Model | Security | UX | Best For |
+|-------|----------|-----|----------|
+| Invite Code | Single-use, 24h TTL | 6-char code | Customer onboarding |
+| QR Code | Physical proximity, 60s TTL | Scan & tap | Mobile/desktop pairing |
+| Trust Registry | Admin pre-auth, scoped | Zero (automated) | Enterprise/CI/CD |
+| Peer Discovery | LAN proximity, user confirm | Scan & confirm | IoT devices, offline |
+
+See [Entity-to-Entity Connection UX Guide](../../docs/ENTITY-TO-ENTITY-CONNECTION-UX.md) for implementation patterns and code examples.
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Basic Setup
+
+```typescript
+import { HttpTrustRegistry } from '@private.me/xbind';
+
+// Documentation example - use your actual gateway URL
+const registry = new HttpTrustRegistry({
+  baseUrl: 'https://gateway.private.me'
+});

+
+### Advanced Configuration Options
+
+#### Identity Management
+
+**`identity` - Pre-existing Identity (Persistent Agents)**
+
+Provide an existing AgentIdentity for persistent agents that survive restarts.
+
+```typescript
+import { Agent, identityFromSeed } from '@private.me/xbind';
+
+// Generate identity once, save seed
+const identityResult = await generateIdentity();
+if (!identityResult.ok) throw new Error(identityResult.error.message);
+
+const seed = identityResult.value.seed;
+// Store seed securely (keychain, HSM, etc.)
+
+// Later: Restore agent from seed
+const identityRestoreResult = await identityFromSeed(Buffer.from(seed, 'hex'));
+if (!identityRestoreResult.ok) throw new Error(identityRestoreResult.error.message);
+
+const agent = await Agent.create({
+  name: 'persistent-agent',
+  identity: identityRestoreResult.value  // Reuse same DID across restarts
+});
+```
+
+**`identityTTL` - Auto-Cleanup for Ephemeral Agents**
+
+Set automatic cleanup time for short-lived agents (milliseconds).
+
+```typescript
+const agent = await Agent.create({
+  name: 'temp-agent',
+  identityTTL: 3600000  // Auto-cleanup after 1 hour
+});
+```
+
+#### Security Options
+
+**`nonceStore` - Replay Attack Prevention**
+
+Configure custom nonce storage for distributed deployments.
+
+```typescript
+import { Agent, RedisNonceStore } from '@private.me/xbind';
+
+const agent = await Agent.create({
+  name: 'distributed-agent',
+  nonceStore: new RedisNonceStore({
+    client: redisClient,
+    ttl: 300000  // 5 minute nonce validity
+  })
+});
+```
+
+**`scopes` - Authorization Scopes**
+
+Restrict which message scopes this agent can receive.
+
+```typescript
+const agent = await Agent.create({
+  name: 'scoped-receiver',
+  scopes: ['messages', 'notifications']  // Only accept these scopes
+});
+```
+
+**`timestampWindowMs` - Timestamp Validation**
+
+Configure acceptable clock skew between sender and receiver.
+
+```typescript
+const agent = await Agent.create({
+  name: 'strict-timing',
+  timestampWindowMs: 60000  // Accept messages within ±1 minute
+});
+```
+
+**`securityPolicy` - Enterprise Security Rules**
+
+Apply custom security policies for enterprise deployments.
+
+```typescript
+import { Agent, DefaultSecurityPolicy } from '@private.me/xbind';
+
+const customPolicy = new DefaultSecurityPolicy({
+  requireEncryption: true,
+  allowedDomains: ['*.private.me', '*.company.com']
+});

+**Security Mode Types**
 
-### Full Import (Convenience)
+Security policies use structured types to describe security modes (input) and their descriptions (output).
+
+**`SecurityMode` (Input Type)**
+
+Represents the security mode selected by the policy for a given action.
 
 ```typescript
-import { Agent, generateIdentity } from '@private.me/xbind';
+type SecurityMode =
+  | { readonly type: 'standard' }
+  | { readonly type: 'split'; readonly shares: number; readonly threshold: number }
+  | { readonly type: 'xchange' };
+```
 
-// Bundle size: ~450 KB
+**`SecurityModeDescription` (Output Type)**
+
+Structured description with multiple format representations for display, logging, APIs, and documentation.
+
+```typescript
+interface SecurityModeDescription {
+  /** Security mode type. */
+  readonly type: 'standard' | 'split' | 'xchange';
+  /** Security level classification. */
+  readonly level: 'standard' | 'high' | 'critical' | 'performance';
+  /** Share configuration (only for split mode). */
+  readonly shares?: { readonly total: number; readonly threshold: number };
+  /** Multiple format representations. */
+  readonly formats: {
+    readonly multiline: string;
+    readonly singleline: string;
+    readonly json: string;
+    readonly markdown: string;
+  };
+}
 ```
 
-### Granular Import (Optimized)
+**Usage Example**
 
 ```typescript
-import { Agent } from '@private.me/xbind/agent';
-import { generateIdentity } from '@private.me/xbind/identity';
+import { describeSecurityModeStructured, type SecurityMode } from '@private.me/xbind';
 
-// Bundle size: ~180 KB (60% reduction)
+// Input: Security mode
+const mode: SecurityMode = { type: 'split', shares: 3, threshold: 2 };
+
+// Output: Structured description
+const description = describeSecurityModeStructured(mode);
+
+console.log(description.type);     // 'split'
+console.log(description.level);    // 'high'
+console.log(description.shares);   // { total: 3, threshold: 2 }
+

+});
 
-xBind automatically activates information-theoretic XorIDA threshold sharing for high-risk operations. No code changes required—security is transparent.
+// Enterprise: File-backed registry (local persistence)
+const fileAgent = await Agent.create({
+  name: 'enterprise-agent',
+  registry: new FileTrustRegistry('./registry.jsonl')  // Append-only log
+});
+```
 
-### Risk Tags (Recommended for Crypto)
+**When to use each:**
+- `HttpTrustRegistry`: Production deployments, multi-agent coordination, DID resolution across networks
+- `MemoryTrustRegistry`: Testing, development, short-lived agents that don't need persistence
+- `FileTrustRegistry`: Enterprise deployments, local persistence, offline-capable systems
 
-For cryptocurrency transactions (BTC, ETH, etc.), use explicit risk tags in your payload:
+**`transport` - Multi-Transport Setup**
+
+Configure message delivery channels. Single transport for simple deployments, multiple transports for redundancy or split-channel security.
 
 ```typescript
-// Low risk: 2-of-2 threshold
-await agent.send({

-// Critical risk: 3-of-5 threshold
-await agent.send({
-  to: recipientDid,
-  payload: { amount: 100, currency: 'BTC', risk: 'critical' }
+**When to use:**
+- Single transport: Most use cases, simple deployments
+- `RetryTransportAdapter`: Mobile networks, unreliable connections, push notification delivery
+- Multi-transport: Critical security scenarios requiring channel separation (prevents correlation attacks)
+
+**`postQuantumSig` - Post-Quantum Signatures**
+
+Enable ML-DSA-65 (FIPS 204) post-quantum signatures for future-proof authentication.
+
+```typescript
+const quantumAgent = await Agent.create({
+  name: 'quantum-safe-agent',
+  postQuantumSig: true  // Default: false
 });
+
+// Sends v3 envelopes with hybrid signatures:
+// - Ed25519 (classical, 128-bit security)
+// - ML-DSA-65 (post-quantum, NIST Level 3)
 ```
 
-### Fiat Currency Auto-Detection
+**When to enable:**
+- Long-term data protection (10+ year confidentiality requirements)
+- Compliance with post-quantum cryptography mandates
+- High-security government/defense applications
+- Preparing for quantum computing threats
 
-For fiat currencies (USD, EUR, GBP), xBind uses numeric thresholds:
+**Trade-offs:**
+- Signature size: +2.5KB per message (Ed25519: 64 bytes → ML-DSA-65: 2,701 bytes)
+- Performance: ~10% slower signing/verification
+- Compatibility: Requires peers to support v3 envelopes (xBind v0.2.0+)
+
+**Default: `false`** (most applications don't need post-quantum signatures yet)
+
+**`backupConfig` - Key Backup Configuration**
+
+Configure XorIDA threshold sharing for key backup and recovery.
 
 ```typescript
-// Automatically triggers 2-of-3 (amount >= $100,000)
-await agent.send({
-  to: recipientDid,
-  payload: { amount: 500000, currency: 'USD', action: 'transfer' }
+import { Agent, DEFAULT_BACKUP_CONFIG } from '@private.me/xbind';
+
+// Default: 2-of-3 (any 2 shares recover key)
+const defaultAgent = await Agent.create({
+  name: 'default-backup',
+  backupConfig: DEFAULT_BACKUP_CONFIG  // threshold: 2, totalShares: 3
 });
 
-// Automatically triggers 3-of-5 (amount >= $1,000,000)
-await agent.send({
-  to: recipientDid,
-  payload: { amount: 2500000, currency: 'USD', action: 'transfer' }
+// High security: 3-of-5 (lose 2 shares, still recover)
+const secureAgent = await Agent.create({
+  name: 'secure-backup',
+  backupConfig: {
+    threshold: 3,      // Need 3 shares to reconstruct
+    totalShares: 5     // Generate 5 shares (can lose 2)
+  }
+});
+
+// Minimal: 2-of-2 (both shares required)
+const minimalAgent = await Agent.create({
+  name: 'minimal-backup',
+  backupConfig: {
+    threshold: 2,
+    totalShares: 2  // No fault tolerance (both required)
+  }
 });
 ```
 
-### Manual Security Override
+**When to use each:**
+- `2-of-3` (default): Balance security and convenience, tolerate 1 lost share
+- `3-of-5`: High-security scenarios, tolerate 2 lost shares, enterprise deployments
+- `2-of-2`: Minimal overhead, no fault tolerance, testing only
 
-Override automatic detection with explicit security levels:
+**Information-theoretic security:** Each share reveals zero information about the key. Even with `threshold - 1` shares, an attacker gains no information.
+
+**`name` - Agent Naming Best Practices**
+
+Agent names are human-readable identifiers used in logs, debugging, and trust registry lookups.
 
 ```typescript
-// Force 2-of-3 regardless of amount/risk
-await agent.send({
-  to: recipientDid,
-  payload: data,
-  security: 'high'
-});
+// Good: Descriptive, kebab-case, unique per role
+const agent1 = await Agent.create({ name: 'email-service-agent' });
+const agent2 = await Agent.create({ name: 'payment-processor' });
+const agent3 = await Agent.create({ name: 'backup-validator' });
+
+// Avoid: Generic names that don't identify purpose
+const bad1 = await Agent.create({ name: 'agent1' });  // Not descriptive
+const bad2 = await Agent.create({ name: 'test' });    // Too generic
+```
 
-// Force 3-of-5 for maximum security
-await agent.send({
-  to: recipientDid,
-  payload: data,
-  security: 'critical'
+**Conventions:**
+- Use kebab-case for consistency (`email-service`, not `EmailService` or `email_service`)
+- Include role/purpose (`payment-processor`, not `agent42`)
+- Keep under 50 characters for logging compatibility
+- Avoid PII or sensitive data in names (logged in plaintext)
+
+**Name vs DID:**
+- **Name**: Human-readable, mutable, used for debugging/logs
+- **DID**: Cryptographic identifier, immutable, used for authentication
+
+**`xchange` - Performance Mode**
+
+Enable Xchange mode for 180× faster message delivery with single-layer information-theoretic security.
+
+```typescript
+const performanceAgent = await Agent.create({
+  name: 'performance-agent',
+  xchange: true  // Default: false
 });
 
-// Disable XorIDA (standard encrypted transport)
-await agent.send({
+// Sending with Xchange mode
+await performanceAgent.send({
   to: recipientDid,
-  payload: data,
-  security: 'standard'
+  payload: { action: 'transfer', amount: 100 },
+  scope: 'payments'
+  // Automatically uses v4 envelopes (XorIDA split + Ed25519, no KEM)
 });
 ```
 
-### Threshold Schemes
+**When to enable:**
+- High-throughput systems (>1000 messages/second)
+- Latency-sensitive applications (real-time chat, gaming)
+- Bandwidth-constrained networks (mobile, IoT)
+- Internal microservice communication (trusted network)
 
-| Risk Tag / Threshold | Shares | Required | Security Level |
-|---------------------|--------|----------|----------------|
-| `low` | 2 | 2 | 2-of-2 threshold |
-| `medium` / $100k-$1M | 3 | 2 | 2-of-3 threshold |
-| `high` / `critical` / >$1M | 5 | 3 | 3-of-5 threshold |
-| No tag / <$100k | — | — | Standard encrypted transport |
+**Security model:**
+- Single layer: Information-theoretic XorIDA split (provably secure)
+- Authentication: Ed25519 signatures (128-bit security)
+- No KEM: Skips hybrid key encapsulation (saves ~180× overhead)
 
-**Key Insight:** XorIDA is information-theoretically secure. Any K-1 shares reveal zero information about the secret, even with unlimited computing power. Quantum computers cannot break XorIDA.
+**Trade-offs:**
+- Performance: ~180× faster than v3 split-channel
+- Security: Single IT layer vs triple-layer (IT + classical + post-quantum)
+- Use case: Trusted networks where triple-layer is overkill
 
-## Billing & Metering
+**Default: `false`** (prioritize maximum security over performance)
 
-xBind includes usage-based billing with automated milestone notifications:
+## Section 2: Trust & Key Agreement
 
-- **Free Tier:** Generous monthly limits (no email verification required upfront)
-- **Grace Buffer:** Additional operations available after email verification
-- **Pro Tier:** Usage-based billing with unlimited operations
-- **Monthly Reset:** 1st of each month at 00:00 UTC
+### Trust & Key Agreement

+**Generate ephemeral X25519 key pair:**
 
-### Milestone Notifications
+<!-- RUNNABLE-EXAMPLE -->

-Automated email notifications at usage thresholds with progress bars and CTAs for upgrades.
+const ephemeral = await generateEphemeralKeyPair();
+if (!ephemeral.ok) {
+  throw new Error(`Key generation failed: ${ephemeral.error}`);
+}
 
-**Email verification:** Required at free tier limit to access grace buffer.
+console.log('Ephemeral public key (32 bytes):', ephemeral.value.rawPublicKey);
+// Use ephemeral.value.privateKey for ECDH, then discard
+```

+}
 
-xBind provides four connection models for entity-to-entity authentication: Invite Code (email-based onboarding), QR Code (physical proximity pairing), Trust Registry (pre-authorized enterprise), and Peer Discovery (mDNS local network). All use cryptographic DIDs.
+const publicKey = result.value; // CryptoKey for ECDH
+```
+<!-- /RUNNABLE-EXAMPLE -->

+
+For unit testing and local development, use `LoopbackTransport` to simulate agent communication without network calls:
+
+```typescript
+import { Agent, LoopbackTransport } from '@private.me/xbind';
+
+// Create a shared in-memory transport
+const transport = new LoopbackTransport();
+
+// Create two agents using the same transport
+const alice = await Agent.create({
+  name: 'alice',
+  transport
+});
+
+const bob = await Agent.create({

+  transport
+});
+
+// Messages are delivered instantly in-memory

+
+// Bob can receive messages from Alice
+const envelope = // ... received via transport callback

+```
+
+**Use cases:**
+- Unit testing agent communication without external services
+- Local development without network dependencies
+- CI/CD pipelines that need fast, deterministic tests
+- Integration testing of multi-agent workflows
