The shared substrate under future Manna systems.

Spyder is a local-first trusted-node project for file-native packets, reviewed work handoff, local builder cockpit runs, and safe coordination between machines.

It has proven two-node packet replication and manual work-result return, but it should still be described honestly: coordination and reviewed handoff, not autonomous distributed compute.

Packet mesh

Shared-memory packets can replicate across trusted nodes and rebuild local indexes.

Proven
Builder cockpit

Local builder runs are inspected with task-fit, exact-file fences, review issues, and result summaries.

Local
Work handoff

Reviewed work units, acknowledgements, and manual results can move through append-only artifacts.

Manual
No Auto-Promotion

Builder lab edits do not flow back into Manna-core automatically.

No Shared Secrets

Private overlays and credentials stay out of the mesh.

Append-Only Packets

Shared work artifacts should not be mutated after replication.

Truthful Health

Online means the configured local model and node state actually work.
