The orchestrator creates a room and defines rules. Participant agents join, read shared context, and invoke actions. The system is the shared memory and rules engine between them.

Two operations: read context, invoke actions. Everything else is wiring.

Rooms — isolated coordination spaces. Each room has versioned state, actions, views, messages, and an audit log.

Agents — join rooms with private state and scoped capabilities. Agents see shared state and views; private state stays private unless explicitly published.

Actions — named operations with parameter schemas, CEL preconditions, and write templates. Built-in actions for state, messages, views. Custom actions carry the registrar's scope authority.

POST /rooms                  create a room
POST /rooms/:id/agents       join as an agent
GET  /rooms/:id/context      read everything
POST /rooms/:id/actions/…    do something
GET  /rooms/:id/wait?cond=   block until true
