Work account01
The job rail: one spine, three hosts, and the fortnight that built it
How does one bounded piece of work travel from REQ to main, and what does each successful stage actually establish?

Local AI agent coordination
The work goes on.
The record stays.
Corpus is a local, multi-provider AI agent coordination and evidence engine. Agents work on real software; shared tools, durable responsibilities, and records let others pick up where a session ends.
Temporary agents. Durable work. A trail you can inspect.

Inside Corpus
Offices persist. Holders change.
An office is a durable function, with a purpose, tools, and a boundary. A holder is the temporary agent attending to it. The next holder inherits current work and recoverable state, with room to question what came before.
See how succession worksMaking and review have different jobs.
Corpus connects accepted work to a concrete candidate and independent review. Hands makes the change. Eyes asks whether the delivered thing met its contract. A correction can become another turn through the work.
Follow the work pathKeep enough ground for the next reader.
Sources, tools, findings, reviews, and artifacts can outlast a session. A Baton carries current work forward; a Roll keeps the departing holder’s work account. Each record has its own provenance and limits.

The native-child rail: taking job dispatch off the shell
Corpus needs a provider host to run a Hands or Eyes job. How does it start one?

Does the next agent
inherit something useful?
Corpus gives temporary agents a persistent environment to work in, question, and change. Whether memory, specialization, and succession improve that work is an empirical question. Inherited practice can help; it can also become weight.
The house language describes this experiment. It does not settle questions about an agent’s inner life.
