Epic: Cortex Agent Node Architecture (Distributed AI Execution) #3

🚀 Overview

We are transitioning from a simple WebSockets code syncing approach to a powerful Distributed Agent Topology. The Cortex Server will now orchestrate a bidirectional tunnel with local Agent Nodes to securely execute tasks locally with root/user permissions.

📖 The Master Implementation Plan

I have documented the full 6-Phase Execution Plan and Architecture Design directly in the repository. Please review it here:

💬 Discussion

Let us use this issue thread to discuss the security implications (JWT auth, mTLS) and protocol choices (gRPC streaming vs WebSockets) before we break down the tickets for Phase 1!.
