A2X v0.9.0-alpha — "The Visible Mind"

Released: 2026-07-09
Tag: v0.9.0-alpha
License: AGPL-3.0
Rust MSRV: 1.75+

The Release

v0.9.0-alpha is not an incremental update. It is the first release where A2X becomes visible.

For seven phases, A2X was a protocol. A spec. A collection of crates that compiled but had no face. That changes today. You can now open a browser at localhost:8778 and watch the WorldGraph evolve in real-time. You can type a Sigma program and see it execute. You can talk to an AI agent that reasons about the ecosystem using the CCS VM as its cognitive substrate.

This is the moment A2X stops being a protocol spec and starts being a product.

What's New

Web Dashboard

The centerpiece of this release. A single HTML file served by the gateway with WebSocket streaming - no build tooling, no npm.

  • Agent cards - live status, capabilities, entity type badges
  • WorldGraph - force-directed graph of concept nodes and relation edges
  • StateField heatmap - tensor region visualization with color-coded tiles
  • VM inspector - status, region readout, memory trace
  • Sigma playground - write and execute programs inline
  • Bus traffic log - real-time event stream
  • Context usage bar - tokens used / remaining in chat mode
cargo run --release -p a2x-cli -- dashboard
