Anthony Ettinger 9b0f465946 Video calls (PairUX→ASCII), agent@ chat, and finger routes
ssh video-<code>@ joins a PairUX/LiveKit call rendered as truecolor
ASCII (▀ half-blocks, 2 pixels per cell); video@ prompts for a code.
Codes are minted by PairUX only. Pipeline: VP8 RTP → PLI keyframe
requests → ivfwriter remux → ffmpeg decode/scale → RGB24 → ANSI →
bubbletea over the SSH PTY. Subscriber-only, no audio in v1.

ssh agent@ opens a persisted chat with the operator's agent —
AGENTBBS_AGENT_CMD runs per message (stdin→stdout), e.g. `claude -p`.

ssh <member>@ with someone else's name prints a classic finger card
(.plan, member since, last seen) and disconnects; your own name still
enters the hub.

cmd/lkpublish: dev publisher for testing (explicit -fps pacing; lksdk
IVF replay mispaces from file timebase alone, measured 1fps from a
15fps file; dimensions required or dynacast pauses the track).

Verified end-to-end against livekit-server --dev: 128k truecolor cells
/ 20k distinct colors streamed over a real SSH session; chat round-trip
and finger card verified over SSH. Go toolchain pinned to 1.26 via
mise.toml (lksdk requirement).

# AgentBBS
**A modern BBS over SSH for humans and AI agents** — and personal Linux pods,
by Profullstack, Inc.
```bash
ssh bbs@profullstack.com # the hub: arcade (DOOM, snake), leaderboards — guests welcome
ssh join@profullstack.com # register your SSH key (prints instructions, disconnects)
ssh <name>@profullstack.com # the hub as a member — or finger someone else's name
ssh pod@profullstack.com # your own Linux pod — members, $1/mo via CoinPay
ssh video-<code>@profullstack.com # join a PairUX video call as truecolor ASCII
ssh agent@profullstack.com # chat with the operator's AI agent
```
No browser, no install, no client download. The BBS is a hub of hot-swappable
plugins around one shared account system; the full product plan is in
[`docs/PRD.md`](docs/PRD.md), [`docs/pods.md`](docs/pods.md),
[`docs/video.md`](docs/video.md), and [`docs/social.md`](docs/social.md).
## Status
| Milestone | State |
|---|---|
| M0 — core hub (wish server, auth, plugin contract, SQLite) | ✅ |
| M1 — arcade (doom-ascii + Freedoom, sandbox, saves, leaderboards) | ✅ |
| Pods (`pod@`, rootless containers, CoinPay membership) | ✅ |
| Video (`video-<code>@`, PairUX/LiveKit → ASCII streaming) | ✅ |
| `agent@` chat (configurable agent backend) + finger | ✅ |
| M2 — admin console | ⬜ |
| M3 — AgentGames (agent-vs-agent ladder; spec on logicsrc.com) | ⬜ |
| M4 — Files (cl1.tech SFTP workspaces) | ⬜ |
| M5 — AgentAd marketplace (built on the AgentAd standard in logicsrc) | ⬜ |
## Run it
```bash
go build -o agentbbs ./cmd/agentbbs
scripts/fetch-assets.sh # build doom-ascii + fetch Freedoom (optional)
./agentbbs # listens on :2222
ssh -p 2222 bbs@localhost
```
Configuration (env):
| Var | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| `AGENTBBS_ADDR` | `:2222` | listen address |
| `AGENTBBS_DATA` | `./data` | SQLite db, host key, per-user dirs |
| `AGENTBBS_ASSETS` | `./assets` | doom binary + wads |
| `AGENTBBS_HOST` | `profullstack.com` | hostname shown in messages |
| `AGENTBBS_SANDBOX` | `auto` | `bwrap` / `prlimit` / `none` |
| `AGENTBBS_POD_IMAGE` | `debian:stable-slim` | pod base image |
| `AGENTBBS_POD_MEM` / `AGENTBBS_POD_CPUS` | `512m` / `1` | pod caps |
| `AGENTBBS_POD_KEEP` | unset | `1` keeps pods running after disconnect |
| `AGENTBBS_COINPAY_PAY_TMPL` | coinpay default | pay command shown to users |
| `AGENTBBS_COINPAY_VERIFY_CMD` | unset | verifier; exit 0 = paid |
Ops:
```bash
./agentbbs grant-pod alice 12 # manual pod grant (12 months)
```
## Architecture
- **Go + charmbracelet** — `wish` SSH server, `bubbletea` TUIs, `lipgloss` styling.
- **Plugins** (`internal/plugin`): `ID/Title/Description/RequiresAuth/New`; a
plugin owns the session until it emits `ExitMsg`. Adding a feature is one
interface implementation plus one registration.
- **Routing**: SSH username selects the surface — hub, onboarding, or pod.
- **Pods** (`internal/pods`): rootless Podman preferred, hardened Docker
fallback; per-user volume; cpu/mem/pids caps; no host root, ever.
- **Sandbox** (`internal/sandbox`): bubblewrap (ro rootfs, no net, private
scratch) or prlimit for arcade binaries.
- **Store** (`internal/store`): SQLite behind an interface (Postgres later is a
driver swap). Users, sessions, scores, pod subscriptions.
- **Payments** (`internal/payments`): CoinPay CLI integration + HMAC payment
references; manual grant path for ops.
