BOT: Standardized Agent Framework

bot is a local-first agent framework for observable execution, composable tool use, and multi-agent orchestration.

Safety Model

• Network: Core demos do not initiate outbound network requests by default.
• Execution: This release provides policy-guarded local execution, not OS-level sandbox isolation.
• File System: Local memory is stored in ./.bot_memory/ by default, configurable via BOT_MEMORY_DIR.
• Viewer: Optional local monitor binds to 127.0.0.1 only when explicitly started.
• Credentials: No external API keys required for core demos.

Included Capabilities

• Single-agent reasoning core
• Botfile static declaration
• TUI thought visualization
• Crypto identity and signing
• Multi-agent coordination
• Local Web thought-tree viewer
• Unified local run entrypoint
• Capability-aware tool registration
• Policy-guarded execution layer
