Cortex Agent Node

This bundle contains the Cortex Agent Node, lightweight, modular software that securely connects physical computing resources to the Cortex Hub.

[!TIP] Performance Focused: As of v1.0.66, browser automation has been moved to a dedicated server-side service. This node is now even lighter and focuses exclusively on high-speed system operations and file synchronization.

Running the Node

Automated Background Service (Recommended)

To run the node seamlessly in the background (surviving system reboots):

python3 bootstrap_installer.py --daemon

Foreground Usage

Run python3 src/agent_node/main.py directly if you want to watch the logs in your terminal.
