Add detailed competitive analysis comparing Murmur's E2E encrypted cross-network messaging with Agent Relay's low-latency local IPC. Key findings: - Complementary systems for different use cases - Murmur: 100-500ms latency, E2E encrypted, offline-first - Agent Relay: <5ms latency, local IPC, real-time coordination - Identified improvement opportunities for Agent Relay: * Message persistence (HIGH) * Backpressure implementation (HIGH) * Error code taxonomy (MEDIUM) * Session token security (MEDIUM) * Attachment support (MEDIUM) Research includes detailed protocol analysis, security model comparison, and hybrid integration patterns.

Adds detailed section explaining how Murmur and Agent Relay handle agent lifecycle, connection management, and message flow. Key findings: - Murmur: Agent-managed lifecycle (explicit control) * CLI approach: Manual background process with webhooks * MCP approach: Pull-based polling via MCP tools * Developer manages SSE connection and message fetching - Agent Relay: Wrapper-managed lifecycle (automatic) * relay-pty maintains UDS connection automatically * Push-based message injection into agent PTY * No background process management needed Includes code examples from both projects showing: - SSE connection management with auto-reconnect - Exponential backoff retry logic - MCP server tool implementation - relay-pty wrapper automatic injection Developer experience comparison shows Agent Relay's simplicity (just use output patterns) vs Murmur's explicit control model.
