ARC Protocol v2.0: The Orchestrator Era
🚀 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.
