## 🏗️ Architectural Review

Tadpole OS employs a sophisticated **3-Layer Architecture** (Directive, Orchestration, Execution) that successfully decouples reasoning logic from deterministic execution.

### Key Strengths:
- **Outward A2A Gateway & Silo Barrier**: Zero-Trust network boundary isolating public customer-facing agent interactions from internal developer codebase symbol graphs (`petgraph` AST tree).
- **Zero-Trust Tool Pipeline (SEC-04)**: Trait-based, decoupled tool execution with mandatory Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) and Capability-Based Security (CBS).
- **Isolated Tool Context**: Every tool execution is isolated from global state, preventing side-channel leaks and ambient authority vulnerabilities.
- **Whitelist-Based Safe Command Lexer**: Whitelist-driven shell validator ensuring no command injection obfuscation is possible.
- **SafePath Type-Level Protection**: `SafePath` wrapper enforcing canonicalization on all workspace filesystem operations.

## 🏬 Outward Gateway & SME Knowledge Architecture

Added in **v1.1.403**, the Outward Customer Catalog & A2A Gateway layer provides small business owners with a secure, production-ready infrastructure to deploy customer-facing AI agents:

1. **Business FAQ & Operating Info Card Manager (`Company_Info_Card_Manager.tsx`)**:
   - Interactive glassmorphic management UI supporting full CRUD operations for business FAQs, operating hours, policies, and custom knowledge cards.
   - Includes tabbed category filtering (`All`, `FAQ`, `Operating Info`, `Policies`, `Custom`) and deletion protection via the centralized `Confirm_Dialog`.

2. **Dual-Purpose Compiler (`agent_card_compiler.ts`)**:
   - Translates structured knowledge cards into programmatic `a2a-protocol.org` skill definitions for external agent discovery.
   - Compiles knowledge cards into bounded Markdown context (`<<< BUSINESS_KNOWLEDGE_START >>>`) optimized for `gemma4` local model RAG execution.

3. **Real-Time Client-Side PII Guard & Luhn Mod-10 Verification**:
   - Implemented real-time PII scanner verifying credit card numbers via the **Luhn Mod-10 Algorithm**, detecting SSNs, and identifying private cryptographic keys before publishing.

4. **Axum REST Publisher**:
   - Serves published agent metadata over public REST endpoints (`/a2a/v1/company-agent-card.json`, `/a2a/v1/catalog/search`) guarded by an in-memory IP token-bucket rate limiter (`IpRateLimiter`, default 60 req/min).

## 🛡️ Security Audit

The security model is **Zero-Trust** and proactive, meeting enterprise-grade requirements for autonomous system governance.

### Controls & Compliance:
1. **Capability-Based Security (CBS)**: Non-forgeable `CapabilityToken` system for explicit permission grants.
2. **Write-Ahead Logging (WAL)**: Mandatory persistence of tool intent before execution begins.
3. **Merkle Audit Trail (`audit.rs`)**: SHA-256 hash chaining + Ed25519 digital signatures.
4. **Budget Monitoring (`metering.rs`)**: Persistent `BudgetGuard` in SQLite prevents runaway token spending.
5. **Sandbox Isolation (`filesystem.rs`)**: Implements **SafePath** wrappers and canonicalization to defeat jailbreaks.
6. **Client-Side PII & Luhn Verification**: Verifies card numbers via Luhn algorithm prior to memory embedding.

### Hardening Status (Cumulative):
| Fix | Severity | Status |
|-----|----------|--------|
| **Outward Gateway Silo Barrier** | 🔴 Critical | ✅ Done (v1.1.403) |
| **Client PII & Luhn Verification** | 🔴 Critical | ✅ Done (v1.1.403) |

## ⚡ Performance & Scalability

- **Hydra-RS Code Graph**: Warmed up with 1,664 indexed modules and persistent graph DB (`.code-review-graph/graph.db` with 6,240 nodes and 40,473 edges).
- **Parallel Swarming**: Uses `FuturesUnordered` for concurrent tool execution.
- **Self-Healing Retries**: Automated recovery from transient tool failures via structured `RecoveryAction` metadata.
- **Resource Pooling**: Shared `reqwest::Client` connection pool across all LLM providers.
