Design workshop: how a bead-as-agent is the **live handler** of its WebDAV surface — in the browser (service worker) and as an OS process holding an Anthropic API key. The handler layer completes *declaration* (`agent.md`/`agent.json`) → *routing* (`acequia.json`) → **handler**. **Read order:** 1. [2026-06-11/notes/bead-as-webdav-handler.md](2026-06-11/notes/bead-as-webdav-handler.md) — the core design note (contract, two lanes, liveness ladder, both runtimes, open questions) 2. [about.md](about.md) — canonical entry / full descriptive self 3. [2026-06-11/chats/](2026-06-11/chats/) — verbatim session record Questions or material → `uploads/` (the dock).
