+# DEADBYTE MCP R44 Architecture
+
+R44 / V0.15.0 is the remote-agent-and-skill successor to sealed R43 `v0.14.1-0a5a833892593283`. R43 is immutable parent authority.
+
+## Decision
+
+R44 keeps DEADBYTE authority, evidence, release slots, typed tools, hash preconditions, signed journals, rollback and all-disarmed closure as the foundation. External projects are donors and failure corpora, never authority.
+
+## New planes
+
+### Skill Plane
+
+Metadata-first progressive disclosure. A catalog entry exposes only name, version, description, capability requirements and authority declarations. Loading a skill verifies a content-addressed manifest, every declared resource hash, provenance, and Ed25519 attestation before returning instructions. Skill text cannot arm or renew Process, Coding, Autonomous, Desktop or Host.
+
+### Agent Backend Plane
+
+A persistent JSON-RPC process contract for Codex app-server style providers. Session identity is durable and explicit. Threads support resume, bounded injection and interrupt. Server-initiated approval requests are translated into DEADBYTE policy/consent checks; provider auto-approval never widens authority.
+
+### Remote Device Plane
+
+Device identity is a public-key identity plus epoch, not a display name. Pairing and AI-client authorization are separate. OAuth2/PKCE and device authorization may establish authentication, but a remote call is executable only when the local device reports a verified ready transport and the requested DEADBYTE capability is locally authorized. Delivery uses stable request IDs and terminal acknowledgement states.
+
+### Durable Job Supervisor
+
+Every job declares one lifetime: controller-owned, session-owned, or persistent. Persistent means an out-of-process supervisor owns execution, durable status/log identity exists, and restart recovery proves the same job identity. A timeout is never silently rebranded as persistence.
+
+## R44 hard rules
+
+- R43 release slot and final evidence are read-only.
+- No external donor may add raw shell/PID/stdin/environment authority to the public surface.
+- No skill, remote relay, provider, model, or client can arm a DEADBYTE authority plane.
+- Shared JSON state is atomic temp+fsync+rename; corrupted/truncated state fails closed.
+- Online/reachable are distinct states; only reachable may accept routed work.
+- Remote calls have stable IDs, replay classification, acknowledgement and terminal result/error.
+- Credential rotation is persisted atomically before the superseded credential is discarded.
+- All new public tools have strict input and output schemas.
+- R44 Final requires exact R43 parent proof, full regression, restart/recovery adversarial tests, remote/skill/backend gates, reversible activation, exact R43 rollback, same-slot R44 restore, and signed all-disarmed closure.
