cross-host-federation
Join and operate a signed cross-host agentbbs federation and coordinate work claims across nodes. Use when connecting ruflo agents across machines, sharing tasks or results between hosts, or standing up a federation hub; skip for single-host work.

# Cross-Host Federation (agentbbs, v3.40.0+)
Coordinate ruflo agents across machines with **signed, verifiable messages** and **work claims**.
Transport is HTTP pull with pinned Ed25519 keys — works over Tailscale, LAN, VPN, or loopback.
No tailnet required. Each host keeps its private key locally (`<basePath>/node-identity.json`, `0600`);
it never leaves the host and is never shared.
## Model (read first)
- **Pull, not push.** To send, you `serve` your room; peers `sync` (pull) it. To receive, you `peer_add`
(pin) a peer and `sync` theirs.
- **Trust = pinning.** Every merged envelope is verified against the public key you pinned. Unsigned,
misattributed, oversize, or over-hop envelopes are dropped and counted — a hostile or looping peer
cannot corrupt the log.
