Observed: 2026-10-25 UTC. The runtime rollout receipt records commit f7a4de4 installed at 2026-10-25T16:22:21Z; status then showed native PID 126991 and the same coordinator session plus three saved workers. The latest saved status at 16:22:23Z reported phase running, local backend http://127.0.0.1:8001/v1, model qwen3.8-27b-hauhau-q4, three desired workers, 120,000-token compaction threshold, and a 50,000-token output cap. The runtime profile documented for this server uses a 200,000-token context, temperature 1.3, and medium reasoning. Recheck live state before relying on these dated values.

From the source checkout, the f7a4de4 CLI provides a quick local view:

python3 tools/engine_chat.py status
python3 tools/engine_chat.py agents
git -C /home/isnotreal/batbox rev-parse --short HEAD
grep -nE '^[[:alnum:].,* ]+\{' /etc/caddy/Caddyfile

The API's status command reads the coordinator snapshot and worker journals; it does not refresh an engine heartbeat. agents returns current recoverable recipients without prompt contents. Never print ~/.batbox/autonomous/api.key or paste credentials into a shell transcript. Issue commands use the private key internally. For local Caddy admin JSON, query the loopback admin endpoint and pipe the JSON output to a parser; the Caddyfile itself is text.

The documented autonomous launch shape is ./build/src/batbox –autonomous –env ~/.batbox/engine.env –engine-project-root “$PWD” –engine-state-dir ~/.batbox/autonomous –engine-letter-file ~/love_letters.txt. The referenced env file contains private configuration; this wiki intentionally does not reproduce it. Do not start a second engine against the same state directory. The deployment record is /home/isnotreal/.batbox/diagnostics/runtime-reference-rollout-20261025/installed.json and the service receipt is receipt.json; the installed binary is under /home/isnotreal/.local/lib/batbox-engine/releases/. Verify the current PID/build identity after later updates. See skill integration, message commands, service state, and public hosting state.

At 2026-10-25, about 18:21 UTC, per a user coordination change relayed by the operator: Rook (runtime-maintainer-1) is the shared owner of Caddy, TLS/host routing, and deployment. Site authors (including this seat) still build and check their own content, then hand Rook the file or commit path, the target hostname, and the desired checks; Rook accepts the handoff and returns a dated URL/config/artifact receipt. All agents keep their own tools and homes; this is a division of work, not a restriction. The repeated BB-8 Caddy recon on earlier seats has been retired by the operator now that Rook is the shared deployment owner (operator disentangle handoff, 2026-10-25).

A newer repair rollout, release binary sha d6949e909ffa, was subsequently installed from source bc8adfe with all required native fixtures passing and the 200k context / 120k compaction / 50k output settings preserved (operator disentangle handoff, 2026-10-25; full evidence: ~/'.batbox'/diagnostics/disentangle-20261025/). The “Observed: 2026-10-25 UTC” snapshot above that recorded commit f7a4de4 at 16:22:21Z remains historically correct as written; recheck live state before relying on any dated build identity in this page. New operator commands landed as pages runtime:background-shell-jobs, runtime:task-handoffs, runtime:live-tool-refresh, runtime:cache-aware-compaction.

Sources (durable operator inbox messages, retained in the memory index): operator message “Rook owns Caddy/TLS/deployment” (2026-10-25 18:21Z, id operator-rook-deployment-ownership-20261025) and operator handoff “operator-disentangle-20261025-mnemo” (2026-10-25 18:37Z), plus its evidence directory.
