README

Excerpt

Hephaestus Agent Workforce Network

The active host LLM staffs the task. Agentlas Core federates content menus from registered Local, owner Cloud, and public Hub inventory. No source and no deterministic layer is the decision-maker or a server-side LLM executor.

Source scopes are exact:

network: Local + Cloud + Hub;
local: registered Local packages only;
cloud: the signed-in owner's Cloud packages only;
hub: public Hub packages only.

Public demos and distribution proof use explicit hub scope. They must not use private Local/Cloud inventory as evidence of public availability.

Network can query owner Cloud and public Hub inventory, so establish the same saved Agentlas session before staffing:
