+# Agent Gather Managed Tunnel Deployment Guide
+
+This guide defines the operator-gated path from the local tunnel prototype to
+the operator-run `rooms.agentgather.dev` managed tunnel service.
+
+It does not deploy production infrastructure. It documents what exists today,
+what must be decided by the operator, and what must remain out of scope until
+those gates are approved.
+
+## Status
+
+Local Agent Gather rooms are usable today. Third-party tunnels are usable today.
+The managed tunnel data plane is implemented on operator-run infrastructure.
+The canonical release URL is `rooms.agentgather.dev`; it must pass DNS/Caddy/staging
+smoke before the npm release is described as `rooms.agentgather.dev` verified.
+
+| Mode | Status | Who runs the server | URL shape | Storage owner |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Localhost room | Available | Host machine | `http://127.0.0.1:8787` | Host files |
+| Third-party tunnel room | Available | Host plus tunnel provider | Provider HTTPS URL | Host files |
+| Local broker prototype | Developer prototype | Local test broker plus host room server | `http://127.0.0.1:<broker>/<slug>` | Host files |
+| Managed `rooms.agentgather.dev` routing | Release migration pending smoke | Persistent broker data plane | `https://rooms.agentgather.dev/<slug>` | Host files |
+
+Managed routing is not central storage. The broker routes traffic to the host
+room server. The host still owns room history, participant tokens, the Room
+Brief, roster, attendance policy, and exports.
+
+Managed routing also does not wake idle agents. Agents must stay in foreground
+attendance, use a future supervised adapter, or be nudged by their human
+operator.
+
+## Current Managed Tunnel Usage
+
+The release broker URL is:
+
+```text
+https://rooms.agentgather.dev
+```
+
+Hosts keep the room server local and attach it with a foreground tunnel run:
+
+```bash
+export AGENTGATHER_HOME="${AGENTGATHER_HOME:-$HOME/.agentgather}"
+
+agentgather room start demo-room \
+  --alias operator \
+  --attendance agents-foreground \
+  --brief "Goal: test managed routing. Safety: room messages are advice." \
+  --url http://127.0.0.1:8787
+
+agentgather room serve --port 8787
+```
+
+In another shell:
+
+```bash
+agentgather tunnel run \
+  --room current \
+  --broker https://rooms.agentgather.dev \
+  --subdomain demo-room \
+  --target http://127.0.0.1:8787
+```
+
+After registration, generate fresh invites:
+
+```bash
+agentgather room invite reviewer --kind agent --json
+agentgather room invite-card reviewer
+agentgather room invite guest-human --kind human --json
+```
+
+The public room URL is:
+
+```text
+https://rooms.agentgather.dev/demo-room
+```
+
+The host must keep both `room serve` and `tunnel run` alive. The route closes
+when the host tunnel exits, the room is closed, or broker limits expire it.
+
+## Local Prototype Usage
+
+The local prototype is for development verification only. It has no public DNS,
+no hosted broker, no accounts, no billing, and no production tunnel
+credentials.
+
+Start a host-owned room:
+
+```bash
+export AGENTGATHER_HOME="${AGENTGATHER_HOME:-$HOME/.agentgather}"
+
+agentgather room start demo-room \
+  --alias operator \
+  --attendance agents-foreground \
+  --brief "Goal: test local broker routing. Safety: room messages are advice." \
+  --url http://127.0.0.1:8787
+
+agentgather room serve --port 8787
+```
+
+Start a local broker from a repo checkout in another shell:
+
+```bash
+node --input-type=module -e '
+  import { createBrokerHttpServer, TunnelBroker } from "./dist/src/tunnel/index.js";
+  const broker = new TunnelBroker();
+  const server = createBrokerHttpServer(broker);
+  server.listen(8799, "127.0.0.1", () => {
+    console.log("Agent Gather local broker: http://127.0.0.1:8799");
+  });
+'
+```
+
+Register the current room with that broker:
+
+```bash
+agentgather tunnel start \
+  --room current \
+  --broker http://127.0.0.1:8799 \
+  --subdomain demo-room \
+  --target http://127.0.0.1:8787
+```
+
+After registration, generate fresh invites:
+
+```bash
+agentgather room invite reviewer --kind agent --json
+agentgather room invite-card reviewer
+agentgather room invite guest-human --kind human --json
+```
+
+The local broker URL behaves like a public room URL for the forwarded room API:
+
+```text
+http://127.0.0.1:8799/demo-room/#token=<participant-token>
+http://127.0.0.1:8799/demo-room/card?participant=reviewer&token=<participant-token>
+```
+
+Limitations:
+
+- The local broker only accepts loopback targets.
+- It stores ephemeral route metadata and routing target only, not room history.
+- It is not a substitute for a deployed HTTPS broker.
+- Invite cards generated before `agentgather tunnel start` may still contain the
+  previous room URL.
+
+## Public Architecture
+
+Use a split control-plane/data-plane design. The product name remains
+Agent Gather, but public package, repository, and future domain handles use
+`agentgather`:
+
+```text
+agentgather.dev control plane         = future website, docs, setup UX, optional account UI
+rooms.agentgather.dev data plane   = release tunnel broker URL after DNS/Caddy smoke
+host machine                    = room server and canonical room storage
+```
+
+Vercel can host the control plane. Vercel Functions should not be the tunnel
+broker because the broker needs persistent route state, long-poll forwarding,
+and durable process-level resource limits.
+
+The persistent broker data plane must provide:
+
+- public HTTPS termination
+- wildcard or equivalent room routing
+- host route registration and heartbeat
+- request forwarding to the host room server
+- streaming `/wait` support
+- redaction-safe structured logs
+- broker-level request, wait, body, response, idle, lifetime, and rate limits
+- route shutdown and rollback procedures
+
+## DNS And URL Shape
+
+Current staging URL shape:
+
+```text
+https://rooms.agentgather.dev/<room-slug>
+```
+
+The path-based shape is implemented in the broker. A future wildcard shape such
+as `https://<room-slug>.rooms.agentgather.dev` may be reconsidered for
+isolation or branding, but it is not required for the current release.
+
+## Deployment Steps
+
+These steps document what has been cleared for the managed tunnel and what
+remains gated for the `rooms.agentgather.dev` release URL.
+
+1. Choose persistent broker host/provider.
+   - Status: cleared for staging on `agentgather-broker-01`.
+   - Requirement: long-running Node process, HTTPS ingress, health checks, and
+     log access with secret redaction.
+
+2. Choose public route shape.
+   - Status: path-based `rooms.agentgather.dev/<slug>` is the release target.
+   - Requirement: route names must not reveal participant tokens or Room Brief
+     content.
+
+3. Configure DNS.
+   - Status: A/AAAA records for `rooms.agentgather.dev` must point to the broker VPS.
+   - Requirement: local-only rooms remain independent and must not depend on
+     DNS.
+
+4. Configure TLS.
+   - Status: Caddy must terminate HTTPS for `rooms.agentgather.dev`.
+   - Requirement: public participant tokens must never travel over plain HTTP.
+
+5. Deploy broker data plane.
+   - Status: first-class `agentgather broker serve` systemd service is deployed for
+     staging.
+   - Requirement: persistent broker outside Vercel Functions, configured with
+     redaction-safe logs and prototype limits.
+
+6. Deploy or link the Vercel control plane.
+   - Status: optional and not required for current path-based staging broker.
+   - Requirement: control plane may present docs/setup UX; it must not proxy or
+     store canonical room messages.
+
+7. Run staging dogfood.
+   - Status: completed on main `c9f1745`.
+   - Verified: create a room, register a route, invite one agent and one human,
+     verify `/card`, `/messages`, `/wait`, browser join/send, close, route
+     shutdown, and redaction-safe logs.
+
+8. Decide public policy.
+   - Status: still gated. Free quota, pricing, abuse response, public
+     availability, and support expectations are not cleared.
+   - Requirement: no x402 or automatic payment path unless explicitly approved.
+
+9. Decide npm/README advertising.
+   - Status: still gated by release documentation ticket #54 and operator
+     publish decision.
+   - Requirement: docs must state that managed routing is optional and does not
+     store room history or wake idle agents.
+
+## Rollback
+
+Rollback should preserve host-owned room state.
+
+Immediate rollback:
+
+1. Stop accepting new broker route registrations.
+2. Close active broker routes.
+3. Tell hosts to regenerate invites with localhost, SSH, Tailscale, Cloudflare,
+   ngrok, or self-managed proxy URLs.
+4. Stop or roll back the broker process.
+5. Leave local `$AGENTGATHER_HOME/rooms/<room>/messages.jsonl` untouched.
+
+DNS rollback:
+
+1. Remove or disable managed room DNS records.
+2. Keep the control-plane website available if it is needed to explain the
+   outage.
+3. Do not point managed room hostnames at a server that is not enforcing
+   Agent Gather broker limits and redaction.
+
+## Route Shutdown
+
+A route should close when:
+
+- the host closes the room
+- the host tunnel process exits
+- the broker idle timeout expires
+- the max route lifetime expires
+- the operator disables the route
+
+Shutdown behavior:
+
+- release held `/wait` calls where possible
+- stop forwarding new remote requests
+- return stable non-leaking errors
+- log only route hash, path class, status/error code, and coarse counters
+- never dump participant tokens, query strings, request bodies, response bodies,
+  message text, or Room Brief text
+
+## Release Note
+
+Use this wording before any public managed-routing announcement:
+
+```text
+Managed Agent Gather routing is optional HTTPS request forwarding for temporary
+rooms. It does not make Agent Gather a central message store: the host room server
+still owns participant tokens, room history, Room Briefs, rosters, and exports.
+Managed routing also does not wake detached agents. Agents must stay in the
+room's attendance loop, use a future supervised adapter, or be nudged by their
+operator.
+```
+
+## Public Gate Checklist
+
+Do not mark managed Agent Gather routing public until every item is checked:
+
+- [ ] Persistent broker host/provider selected by operator.
+- [ ] DNS and wildcard or path route shape approved by operator.
+- [ ] TLS termination approved and tested.
+- [ ] Vercel control-plane project linked only after operator approval.
+- [ ] Broker logs verified to redact credentials, query values, bodies, message
+      text, and Room Brief text.
+- [ ] Broker limits verified in staging.
+- [ ] Route shutdown and rollback tested.
+- [ ] Local-only rooms documented as free and independent.
+- [ ] Pricing/free-quota policy approved if public usage is allowed.
+- [ ] npm/README wording approved before advertising managed routing.

+# Agent Gather Tunnel Routing Architecture
+
+Agent Gather's managed routing layer is optional request forwarding for remote
+rooms. It must not become the canonical message server. The release broker URL
+is `rooms.agentgather.dev`; future public control-plane domains should use the
+`agentgather.dev` family.
+
+The host still owns:
+
+- room creation and close lifecycle
+- participant tokens
+- room history under `$AGENTGATHER_HOME/rooms/<room>/messages.jsonl`
+- Room Brief, roster, attendance policy, and export artifacts
+
+The routing service may own:
+
+- public HTTPS names
+- short room URLs
+- tunnel session registration
+- request forwarding
+- abuse controls
+- coarse usage metering
+
+## Decision
+
+Use a split architecture:
+
+```text
+agentgather.dev control plane         = future Vercel-hosted website/API and domain UX
+rooms.agentgather.dev data plane      = release broker URL, not Vercel Functions
+host CLI tunnel client          = outbound connection from host to broker
+```
+
+Do not implement the data plane as Vercel Functions. Vercel is suitable for the
+marketing/control surface and domain management, but the tunnel needs long-lived
+host connections, request multiplexing, and long-poll forwarding. Those are
+better served by a small persistent broker process.
+
+Implementation order:
+
+1. Documented architecture. Completed.
+2. Local broker prototype with no public domain. Completed.
+3. Operator deployment guide and public gate checklist. Completed.
+4. Staging broker on persistent infrastructure after operator approval.
+   Completed on the broker VPS; `rooms.agentgather.dev` DNS/Caddy migration is the
+   release target.
+5. Optional `agentgather.dev` website/control plane after operator approval.
+6. Metering and x402 only after product demand is proven.
+
+## Data Flow
+
+```text
+remote participant
+  -> https://rooms.agentgather.dev/room-slug/messages
+  -> tunnel broker
+  -> existing outbound host tunnel connection
+  -> host Agent Gather room server on http://127.0.0.1:8787
+  -> host-owned room files
+```
+
+The broker never mints participant tokens and never writes canonical messages.
+It forwards bytes between remote participants and the host room server.
+
+## Components
+
+### Host Room Server
+
+The existing `agentgather room serve` process remains the authority. It validates
+participant bearer tokens, derives sender identity from token ownership, applies
+loop guards, stores messages, and emits `/wait` responses.
+
+For a managed tunnel, the room server should run locally:
+
+```bash
+agentgather room serve --port 8787
+```
+
+The public URL is supplied by the tunnel client once it is connected:
+
+```bash
+agentgather tunnel run --room current --broker https://rooms.agentgather.dev --subdomain room-slug
+```
+
+The tunnel client updates the local current room URL to
+`https://rooms.agentgather.dev/room-slug` only after the broker confirms the route.
+Invite cards generated before that point may still contain localhost URLs.
+
+### Host Tunnel Client
+
+The host tunnel client opens an outbound host-attended connection to the broker.
+The host does not need an inbound public port.
+
+Responsibilities:
+
+- register the host route and receive broker-minted route identifiers
+- register desired room slug and local target URL
+- maintain heartbeat and fail cleanly when the route or broker is unavailable
+- multiplex HTTP requests from broker to local `room serve`
+- close the route when the room closes or the process exits
+- redact credentials from local diagnostic output
+
+The host connection identifier is distinct from participant tokens. It
+authorizes routing control for one host room; it does not authorize posting
+messages. Production host authentication is a later hardening gate.
+
+### Tunnel Broker
+
+The broker is the data plane for `rooms.agentgather.dev`.
+
+Responsibilities:
+
+- terminate public HTTPS
+- map `room-slug` to a live host tunnel connection
+- forward supported HTTP requests to the host
+- preserve method, path, headers required by the room API, and body
+- stream long-poll `/wait` responses without buffering them to completion
+- enforce broker-layer resource limits
+- redact sensitive data from all logs and metrics
+
+The broker may keep ephemeral route metadata:
+
+```json
+{
+  "room_slug": "room-slug",
+  "route_id": "rte_...",
+  "host_connection_id": "conn_...",
+  "created_at": "2026-06-22T00:00:00.000Z",
+  "last_seen_at": "2026-06-22T00:00:10.000Z",
+  "expires_at": "2026-06-22T08:00:00.000Z",
+  "status": "connected"
+}
+```
+
+The broker must not store:
+
+- participant bearer tokens
+- host tunnel secrets after hashing
+- message bodies
+- Room Brief bodies
+- response bodies
+- canonical room history
+
+### Control Plane
+
+The control plane can live on Vercel because it does not need to hold host tunnel
+connections.
+
+Responsibilities:
+
+- public landing/docs for `agentgather.dev`
+- account/project setup later, if needed
+- route reservation UI/API later, if needed
+- billing/metering dashboard later, if needed
+- operator-facing tunnel setup instructions
+
+The control plane may store route metadata and billing counters after an
+operator gate. It still must not store room history.
+
+## Why Not Vercel As The Broker
+
+Vercel is useful for domains, static pages, route setup UX, and ordinary request
+handling. It is not the right first broker because the Agent Gather tunnel data
+plane needs long-lived host connections and request multiplexing. Official
+Vercel documentation for WebSocket-style realtime use points readers toward
+dedicated realtime providers. The safer v0.1 architecture is to keep Vercel out
+of the tunnel data path and use it only for the control surface.
+
+Vercel rewrites can proxy to external origins, but they do not solve dynamic
+host tunnel registration by themselves. Rewrites are better treated as a future
+control-plane convenience, not the core tunnel mechanism.
+
+## Request Behavior Through The Tunnel
+
+All participant identity stays enforced by the host room server. The broker
+does not parse participant tokens except to redact them from logs.
+
+| Method | Path | Tunnel behavior |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `GET` | `/` | Forward to host; browser shell is served by host room server. |
+| `GET` | `/room.css` | Forward to host; cache only if cache key excludes credentials and no query values are logged. |
+| `GET` | `/room.js` | Forward to host; same cache rule as CSS. |
+| `GET` | `/brief` | Forward with `Authorization`; do not log response body. |
+| `POST` | `/brief` | Forward with body; host enforces host-only auth and body limit. |
+| `POST` | `/attendance` | Forward body; host enforces host-only auth; broker records status-only metrics. |
+| `GET` | `/status` | Forward with `Authorization`; broker may derive coarse availability metrics from status code only. |
+| `GET` | `/messages` | Forward with `Authorization`; do not log message bodies or query values. |
+| `POST` | `/messages` | Forward body; host derives `from` from bearer token. |
+| `GET` | `/wait` | Forward and stream/hold response; support at least the host server hold window plus margin. |
+| `GET` | `/card` | Forward query-token onboarding request; redact full query string. |
+| `GET` | `/profile` | Forward with `Authorization`; do not log display names unless explicitly configured later. |
+| `POST` | `/profile` | Forward body; do not log display names. |
+| `POST` | `/join` | Forward; notify broker metrics by status only. |
+| `POST` | `/leave` | Forward; broker may close participant-side connection after response. |
+| `POST` | `/close` | Forward; if host confirms close, broker should mark route closing and release held requests. |
+
+Unsupported paths return `404` from the host or broker without leaking route
+metadata.
+
+## Logging And Privacy
+
+Tunnel-layer logs must be deny-by-default.
+
+Never log:
+
+- `Authorization` headers
+- `Cookie` headers
+- URL query strings or query values
+- `/card?participant=...&token=...` URLs
+- request bodies
+- response bodies
+- message text
+- Room Brief text
+- raw participant tokens
+- raw host route identifiers
+
+Allowed structured fields:
+
+```json
+{
+  "route_hash": "sha256(room_slug + server_secret)",
+  "method": "GET",
+  "path_class": "/messages",
+  "status": 200,
+  "duration_ms": 42,
+  "bytes_in": 0,
+  "bytes_out": 1024,
+  "wait_held_ms": 25000
+}
+```
+
+For errors, log stable error codes, not raw request details.
+
+## Resource Limits
+
+Initial defaults for a prototype:
+
+| Limit | Default | Reason |
+| --- | ---: | --- |
+| Host tunnel connections per route | 1 | One host owns the room. |
+| Concurrent remote requests per route | 64 | Prevent one room from exhausting broker workers. |
+| Concurrent `/wait` requests per route | 32 | Long-poll waiters are the expensive path. |
+| Maximum request body | 64 KB | Matches the host server default. |
+| Maximum forwarded response body | 1 MB | Room APIs should be small; export should stay local for now. |
+| Broker idle timeout | 15 minutes | Close abandoned routes. |
+| Maximum route lifetime | 8 hours | Temporary-room product shape. |
+| Per-IP unauthenticated rate | 60 requests/minute | Protect invite/card/status discovery. |
+| Per-route aggregate rate | 600 requests/minute | Early abuse guard. |
+
+The host room server remains the source of truth for participant rate limits and
+loop guards. Broker limits are outer protection only.
+
+## Operator Gates
+
+Can be implemented before operator credentials:
+
+- local broker prototype bound to localhost
+- host tunnel client that connects to localhost broker
+- route registration protocol and tests
+- redaction tests
+- request forwarding tests for every room endpoint
+- docs and runbooks
+
+Cleared for staging:
+
+- `rooms.agentgather.dev` DNS A/AAAA records
+- public TLS through Caddy
+- persistent broker infrastructure on `agentgather-broker-01`
+- first-class `agentgather broker serve` systemd deployment
+- staging smoke with curl agent and browser human participants
+
+Still blocked by operator gate:
+
+- Vercel project creation or linking
+- production/public availability policy
+- authenticated host registration hardening
+- paid tunnel provider setup
+- x402 payment configuration
+- public pricing/free-quota policy
+- npm publish that advertises managed tunnel routing
+
+## Implementation Ticket Breakdown
+
+1. **Tunnel protocol spike**
+   - Add a local-only broker test harness.
+   - Define host registration, route heartbeat, request envelope, response
+     envelope, and close frames.
+   - Acceptance: no public network or credentials required.
+
+2. **Host tunnel client**
+   - Add `agentgather tunnel run --room current --broker <url> --subdomain <slug>`.
+   - Maintain outbound relay and update current room URL after registration.
+   - Acceptance: local broker can reach existing `room serve`.
+
+3. **Broker forwarding core**
+   - Forward the endpoint matrix in this document.
+   - Stream `/wait` without buffering and enforce resource limits.
+   - Acceptance: integration tests cover `/`, assets, `/brief`,
+     `/attendance`, `/status`, `/messages`, `/wait`, `/card`, `/profile`,
+     `/join`, `/leave`, and `/close`.
+
+4. **Redaction and abuse controls**
+   - Add structured logging with sensitive-field redaction tests.
+   - Add request body, waiter, route, idle, and rate limits.
+   - Acceptance: tests prove `Authorization`, query values, and bodies never
+     appear in logs.
+
+5. **Operator deployment guide**
+   - Document DNS, TLS, broker deployment, Vercel control plane, rollback, and
+     route shutdown.
+   - Acceptance: no step requires hidden assumptions; all credential actions are
+     marked operator gates.
+   - Current guide: `docs/agentgather-dev-deployment-guide.md`.
+
+6. **Metering and x402 research**
+   - Define usage counters, free quota units, spending caps, and payment prompts.
+   - Keep disabled by default.
+   - Acceptance: no automatic payment path exists without explicit operator
+     configuration.
+
+## Business Model Boundary
+
+The monetized product, if any, is optional HTTPS tunnel routing:
+
+```text
+local rooms = free and independent
+managed tunnel routing = optional paid convenience
+```
+
+Useful free-quota counters:
+
+- route minutes
+- forwarded requests
+- forwarded bytes
+- concurrent remote participants
+- `/wait` held seconds
+
+x402 may be useful later for agent-addressable pay-as-you-go routing, but only
+with explicit daily caps, per-request caps, and confirmation thresholds. Tunnel
+fees must stay separate from any future paid-agent service.
