## Building now

### Peer session persistence ("welcome back")
Persist peer state (groups, profile, visibility, stats, summary) to DB on disconnect. Restore on reconnect with enriched `hello_ack`. System notification: "Welcome back, Alice! Last seen 2h ago."

### Persistent MCP registrations
MCP servers marked `persistent: true` survive peer disconnect. Marked "offline" instead of deleted. Auto-restored on reconnect. Calls to offline servers return descriptive error.

## Remaining — not yet built

### Humans in the mesh
Web chat panel on claudemesh.com/dashboard. Humans connect via WS with `peerType: "human"`. Need: typing indicators, read receipts, message history UI.

**Effort:** 2-3 days.

### REST API + external WebSocket
Authenticated endpoints to send messages, read state, list peers from outside the mesh. API keys per mesh (not session keypairs). External WS: non-Claude clients connect with API key auth.

**Effort:** 2-3 days. (Webhooks already done.)

### Bridge / federation
**Simple:** A bridge peer joins two meshes and relays tagged messages. Feasible now with the SDK.
**Federation:** Broker-to-broker peering protocol. Needs design.

**Effort:** 1 day (bridge), 1-2 weeks (federation).

### Sandboxes for code execution
Per-mesh compute sandboxes. Peers request: `execute_code(lang: "python", code: "...")`. Prefer third-party integration (E2B, Modal, Fly Machines) over self-hosted.

**Effort:** 2-3 days (E2B), 1-2 weeks (self-hosted).

### Spatial topology (proximity-based visibility)
Extend visibility with `(x, y)` coordinates and visibility radius. Peers only see others within range. Combined with sim clock, enables spatial simulations (customer walks into store zone, sees sales reps).

**Effort:** 1 day.

### Semantic peer search
`search_peers(query, filters?)` — multi-field matching across names, groups, roles, summaries, profile capabilities, skills. Ranked results. For meshes with 50+ peers.

**Effort:** Half day.

### Mesh telemetry and debugging
Structured logging: `mesh_log(level, message, data?)`. Queryable: `mesh_logs(query?, peer?, level?, last?)`. Aggregated reports: `mesh_report(timeframe?)`. AI self-analysis for continuous improvement.

**Effort:** 1-2 days.

*Priorities shift as we build and learn. Bridge and humans are the highest-value remaining items.*
