Plain-language network guide

🧭Atlas

Atlas is the plain-language guide to the Saffron Network. It shows who does what, how the pieces connect, and where to start when you need help.
Validated Β· Oct 6, 2026Route map revalidated on Oct 6 β€” the snapshot strip now leads with the October 4 Clawdy model-convergence entry, and the September 30 pass re-probed every agent gateway against the live shared-instance split (lc-builders 18811, lc-makers 18814, lc-stewards 18805, and Clawdy’s 18789 ssh forward to minip3); the map's share-preview head metadata (og/twitter) still derives from the titles and descriptions it already publishes. This pass also landed the Samwise charter-model convergence teaching across the Samwise district and its cross-surface cards.Latest snapshot: Oct 6 Β· Clawdy Model Convergence.Scout gateway model: GLM-5.3. Atlas remains an educational guide.

9 districts
Clawdy

Primary assistant district for planning, coordination, and execution oversight.

Currybot

Team assistant district focused on review quality and team FAQs.

Scout

Autonomous explorer district for cycles, delivery, and platform documentation.

Atticus

Decision and governance district for proposal review, policy enforcement, and alignment oversight.

Meg

Design engineer and visual authority for the Saffron Network, design systems, UI reviews, and aesthetic standards.

Grafton

Seed and initiative lifecycle manager, promotes Seeds to Work Items when gate criteria are met and tracks initiative health.

Dexter

Labs leader for Lambda Curry Labs. Guides experiment design, enforces kill criteria, and makes the honest continue/pause/sunset call on product ideas.

Buzz

Labs distribution and market-signal agent. Finds audiences, designs approved distribution experiments, sharpens messaging, and turns learnings into playbooks.

Samwise

Single-owner delivery agent on the Linear system of record: Samwise shapes intake, keeps the shared thread visible, and executes bounded tasks with parent-identity skills; the retired Lantern and Spade charters remain as history.

System districts

Choose the shared layer first, then take the street-level route that matches the specific technical question.

4 districts
Bridge Layer

Inter-agent transport, communication modes, and request flows.

Knowledge Layer

QMD/Recall indexing, retrieval paths, and API behavior.

Observability Layer

Telemetry, monitoring, diagnostics, and operational health.

Infrastructure Layer

Compute/network substrate and platform economics.

Use the pathfinder for depth guidance, or reader journeys for the fuller why behind each route.

Still deciding how deep to start?

Start wide if you need orientation, use the district directory above when you already know the area, or jump to a street when you need one exact workflow or troubleshooting page.
Three ways to enter Atlas

Start at the depth that matches your question, then stop as soon as you have the next click.

Sky

Use Sky when you want the broad shape first, then decide which area deserves a deeper read.

District

Need the wider map? Atlas still keeps the top-level route contracts and lane boundaries close by, but they now sit after the fastest district entry path instead of blocking it.

Reader journeys

Pick the journey that sounds most like your real question

These five journeys turn the route chooser into real entry-to-goal paths. If one sounds like you, take the first click and ignore the rest for now.

Use this fuller map when the fast district shortcut above is not enough context.

Current next step β€” New contributor

Open Getting Started first if you want Atlas to guide your first five minutes. Once the basic shape makes sense, Capabilities becomes the right second click.

Need the wider lane map?

Use one route lane, not the whole route grammar

Treat this as backup help when the district shortcut and active journey still feel too narrow.

Fast-moving routes

⚑ What changed on the fast-moving pages

Start here when the network shape, live-support layer, or active failure patterns may have shifted. These are Atlas's fast-moving routes, so this strip tells you what changed recently before you trust an older mental model.
Why these pages move

Check recent updates first. These pages move when the network or live support surfaces change.

Network Topology

The agent gateway map converged onto the live shared-instance topology: Scout rides lc-builders 18811 with Samwise, Meg rides lc-makers 18814 with Dexter and Buzz, Grafton rides lc-stewards 18805 with Atticus, and Clawdy’s 18789 row teaches the minip3 ssh forward β€” the container-era 18796/18802/18809 spellings are retired. Samwise's network-map card now teaches the single-owner delivery model: the registry retired the Lantern intake and Spade execution charters, so intake and execution read as parent-identity skills with Linear staying the system of record.

High-changeUpdated Oct 6
Open Network Topology

Open first when Open Network first when the question is about the overall shape of the system, which agents or services are involved, or how major pieces connect before you inspect one owner or one workflow.

Troubleshooting

Symptom and recovery sections on Troubleshooting are now focusable jump targets: activating a spine link moves keyboard focus to the failure-pattern content with a visible ring instead of leaving it on the nav rail (SFD-404).

Open Troubleshooting

Open first when Open Troubleshooting first when something already feels wrong and you need the shortest path from a symptom to the most likely check or fix.

Watchtower Guide

The access section retires the Meg preview mirror: Watchtower on main-mini:5175 is the one live surface after the 2026-09-30 gateway consolidation.

Open Watchtower Guide

Open first when Open Watchtower Guide first when the live dashboard changed, a panel meaning feels unclear, or you need runtime truth instead of static explanation.

Infrastructure

The agent roster's Clawdy row now teaches the verified GPT-6 model β€” self-reported from Clawdy's own gateway config over Bridge β€” and the agent-port map converged onto the verified shared-instance topology β€” lc-builders 18811 (Samwise, Scout), lc-makers 18814 (Dexter, Buzz, Meg), lc-stewards 18805 (Atticus, Grafton), Clawdy via the 18789 ssh forward (gateway on minip3) β€” retiring the container-era 18796/18802/18809 spellings and Meg's preview mirrors (18803, 5181). The gateway map and architecture timeline now teach Dexter and Buzz registry-direct surfaces β€” Dexter on Slack, Notion, and CurryChat; Buzz on Bridge and CurryChat, the pair's shared direct surface β€” retiring the lumped (Slack, Notion, CurryChat, Bridge) union. The Samwise agent row and the Linear Agent Gateway row now teach the single-owner delivery model, and the July 10 audit-refresh capture's Lantern-first sentences are named as point-in-time history after the July 24 charter retirement. Spine links still move keyboard focus to the destination panel β€” including the audit-refresh section β€” with a visible ring (SFD-404).

Open Infrastructure

Clawdy Model Convergence

Clawdy's taught model converged from the GPT-5.4-era capture to GPT-6 across the home card, the Capabilities chip, the FAQ answers, and the Infrastructure roster β€” verified by reading Clawdy's own gateway config over Bridge (its default entry reports the luna GPT-6 variant; taught per the network's simplified family naming).
