Name

awdesk — Aither World Desk -- the desktop body of AitherOS Online: tray, avatars, decision cards, the Living Desktop as an overlay.

The problem it solves

Every surface an agent has on a laptop lives in a browser tab that can be closed, minimized or forgotten. The desk is the one that stays: an always-on presence that can interrupt you with a decision card, embody an agent as an avatar, and hold the Living Desktop over your real desktop.

Instead of trusting / you check

instead of trusting
that the agent is somewhere behind a browser tab
you check
a tray icon, a face on your desktop, and the decision card that pops when it needs you

Adopt it alone

Run it, and the next decision card an agent raises pops on your desktop instead of scrolling past in a log.

Install

These projects are organs of the same system — the same identity plane, the same agent runtime, the same operational discipline. Follow any of them.

It also judges whether the runner pool is big enough for the queue it is draining, and can ask a host to grow it -- reserving capacity is zero-sum, so a saturated pool needs more of it, not a different share of it.

The ecosystem this belongs to

Every Aitherium repository publishes an aither-manifest.json beside its page, and each surface reads all of them — so the network is browsable from any node in it.
