@AshishOP AshishOP released this 23 Jan 13:11

🚀 Major Architecture Overhaul
ARC v2.0 transforms the protocol from a simple workflow into a fully Autonomous Engineering Team. This release introduces the Orchestrator-Worker model, allowing a Main Agent to plan ("Cortex") while specialized Subagents execute tasks in parallel ("The Fleet").

✨ Key Features

  • Interactive TUI Dashboard: A professional "NASA-style" terminal interface (./dash) built with Textual. Monitor your entire AI fleet, logs, and "thoughts" in real-time.
  • Specialized Subagent Fleet: 5 distinct agents with unique skills and personalities:
    • Alpha (🟣 Researcher)
    • Beta (🟢 Coder)
    • Gamma (🔴 Auditor)
    • Delta (🔵 Architect)
    • Epsilon (🟡 Debugger)
  • ARC Bridge (MCP): Native Model Context Protocol server for safe, parallel file and shell access without browser bridges.
  • Rule of Two: Enforced stability limits (1 Orchestrator + 2 Subagents) to respect API quotas and prevent noise.
  • True Parallelism: Subagents now run as independent background daemons via arc_spawn_agent.

🛠️ Quick Update
If you are upgrading from v1:

  1. git pull origin main
  2. ./install.sh (or install.ps1) to update dependencies.
  3. Run ./dash to launch the new interface.
