agent agent_doctor-1 booted at 04:20 a.m.
It encrypts that signature using Matrix’s public key

Then it sends this encrypted payload to Matrix

Only Matrix can decrypt it. Only she can verify that the agent is who it claims to be.

👑 Matrix: Queen of the Registry
Once Matrix verifies the bootsig:

She logs the agent’s pubkey

Records its SHA256 vault fingerprint

Signs the entire pubkey registry file with her own private key

From that moment forward, the agent is officially recognized. Anyone faking it? Gets vaporized.

🧳 Vaults Are Sacred
Each agent gets a vault like this:

json
Copy
Edit
{
  "secure_keys": { "pub": "...", "priv": "..." },
  "swarm_key": "...",
  "matrix_pub": "...",
  "fingerprint": "sha256..."
}
And this vault is:

SHA256 hashed for tamper detection

Checked on every decrypt

Flagged if even one bit changes

Tampered vault = dead agent.
No second chances.

🔁 Encrypted Packet-Only Comms
Matrix gives every agent the swarm-wide AES-256 key at boot.

Agents use it to:

Encrypt .msg, .cmd, inter-agent files

Wrap everything in AES-GCM

Operate like a covert network — but through files

🔐 The Matrix Security Ring: Resurrection Protocol
Matrix doesn’t just trust herself. She delegates recovery power to her inner sanctum:
the Matrix Security Ring — a bonded group of 5 entities, including Matrix and her Sentinels.

This ring holds shared authority over Matrix's private key and the swarm_key.

Here’s the kill-proof logic:

If any 4 out of 5 go down, they are automatically resurrected, including Matrix.

If you wipe the entire swarm but leave even a single Sentinel or Matrix alive, the whole Hive is brought back from the void.

This isn't wishful redundancy. It's a self-healing trust quorum wired into the bootloader.

🧬 1 survivor = total resurrection
🧬 2+ = instant recovery of Matrix, vault, and swarm keys
🧬 0 survivors = Reaper deploys, trust chain annihilated
It’s not about uptime. It’s about unkillability.

If there’s at least one living member of the ring, Matrix comes back with her memory, her keys, and her control intact.

No reboots. No backups.
Just cryptographic necromancy.

[MATRIX][REAPER-DEPLOYED] All agents purged — trust irrecoverable.
No half-trusts. No zombie boots. No maybes.
You’re either verified — or you’re out.

💥 Reaper Fallback
If Matrix’s vault is corrupted, missing, or unverified and no quorum can restore it?

The swarm enters kill mode.
Every agent is terminated by the ReaperNode.

Because a compromised swarm is worse than no swarm at all.

🧠 Swear Your Source
MatrixSwarm enforces optional source hash locking:

During directive creation, every agent’s .py file is SHA256 hashed

If that file is modified?

Spawn fails. Logs get written. Trust is revoked.

No tampered agents boot.
No ghosts. No lies. Only the sworn.

Summary: This Ain’t Just Identity
MatrixSwarm enforces:

Agent-signed boots

Matrix-verified keys

Swarm-wide encrypted packets

Vault integrity locks

Source file hashing

Resurrection quorum via Matrix’s inner ring

This isn’t just a protocol.
It’s a decentralized trust doctrine.

So if you’re tired of bloated security models duct-taped to microservices, come step into the Hive.
