Node

@maiaos/node is the headless authority. One logical node is one brain and sovereignty domain. Clients authenticate to it and keep cache-backed views. This page is presentation only. The Node README and architecture remain authoritative.

Source-implemented candidate — callable current evidence

These exist as documented public foundations of the desktop-local node. They are source-callable current evidence, not product enablement:

• maia-node --desktop single-profile lock and authenticated user-local IPC
• readiness, node.status, idempotent node.shutdown, and bounded drain
• versioned SQLite command/event storage and bounded file-configuration writes
• project, repository, workspace, and receipt records, including the schema-v10 receipt-list index
• runtime.probe Codex compatibility handshake
• session.create, session.list, session.show, and session.events.list

The node opens no TCP listener. maia-node --background and maia-node serve remain rejected. Node 24.22.1 is the only supported JavaScript runtime.

Source-implemented candidate — blocked

Source exists. Named qualification gates remain. These are not enabled product behavior:

• session.start Codex activation and exact-thread resume
• turn.send / turn.show
• macOS live-terminal create/list/show/events/read, controller request/show/acquire/release, input write, resize/signal/close
• local-v1 orchestration Run/inbox/question/settle subset
• harness.installed.list four-item catalog read
• Client-principal context.show current-context projection
• macOS ProcessResourceManager integration and the compact node.status resource projection

Unavailable or inert terminal surfaces include observer attach/check/detach/resync, controller renew, restart, delete, and reconcile.

Planned

Accepted or proposed, with no public product claim:

• structured Session attachments, approvals, steering, and interruption
• one minimal Pi SDK attachment TUI with detach/reconnect and causal turn view
• one Node-owned aggregate observation API for CLI/TUI/desktop/mobile and Swarm, covering Agent, Swarm, Node, provider, voice, A2A, security, and storage domains with partitions, batching, resumable cursors, explicit gaps, processor checkpoints, and evidence watermarks
• Session/Run/Dispatch Invocation attachments and inbox --scope current
• client NodeDirectory, multi-node switch, NodeBootstrap, and remote pairing
• ADR-015 Public operation catalog projection and Session-bound Notebook records; the node never evaluates TypeScript and execution requires an A6/W3 hard-contained Runtime process
• device-capability hosts, grants, and native invocation receipts
• background OS-service and remote node modes

Unsupported

• Windows process-tree ownership. runtime.probe returns platform_unsupported there until lifetime ownership is proven.
• Windows live terminal. The terminal candidate is macOS-first.

Next action

Read the Node README, then the Protocol, SDK, and CLI notes. Delivery order lives in the node roadmap. The target ownership and implementation contracts live in Architecture, Node, operations, and the CLI reference.
