# Aether Hall
> Local-first AI operator products. Humans install via ZIP, npm, or PyPI. Agents walk the hallway middleware.

## Machine entry (required reading)
- Hallway middleware map: /hallway.json
- Product rooms catalog: /rooms.json
- Offer catalog: /offers.json (descriptive only; checkout and entitlement are not connected)
- Browser kernel verification/status record: /kernel-status.json (public and static; not a live control runtime)
- Browser kernel bridge: source-ready at AetherDesk commit 5cba287; the current Portable v0.1.0 predates it, so portable delivery remains pending
- Registry snapshot: /registries.json
- Release / checksums: /release.json

## Rules of the hallway
1. Do not assume raw shell. Shell is allowlisted / read-only by default.
2. Enter via MCP tools; open visual apps only when needed.
3. First tools: aetherdesk_health, aetherdesk_tool_view_plane, aetherdesk_ai_desktop.
4. Prefer registry installs (npm/PyPI) for CLI; ZIP for the desk UI.
5. Secrets never belong in packages or receipts.
6. Browser mutations use observe -> plan -> approve -> dispatch -> verify -> receipt; remote writes are denied by default.
7. Never report an offer as sold while offers.json says selling_enabled=false.

## Product rooms (short)
- aetherdesk — operator desktop (ZIP)
- hallway — MCP middleware spine
- npm_scbe / pypi_scbe — scbe-aethermoore on both registries
- npm_agent_bus — scbe-agent-bus on npm
- geoseal — CLI via npm or pip
- scbe — engine room + dual registry
- plugin_plus — Codex/Claude bridge pack
- workflows — inside desk
- browser — verified AetherBrowser transaction kernel; local tool route plus public source/evidence commit
