Hatched from the snow-globe session (CE animating bead `6a8f0a99-c255-4a5c-9c4a-9097d0ee9cd8`; that session's full log: [2026-06-12-git-devops-wiring.md](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/6a8f0a99-c255-4a5c-9c4a-9097d0ee9cd8/2026-06-12/chats/2026-06-12-git-devops-wiring.md)).
**Stephen (verbatim):** > start-bead acequia-git that as an agent can serve as a node in a decentralized git-hub **Claude (summary):** - Pre-hatch context (same session): the in-bead-git default had just been piloted (sphere-apps repo moved into bead `6a8f0a99` at `repo/`) and ratified into [#devops policy defaults](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/64be6d29-d133-4ade-9dce-f62701003e37/agent.md) (git in the bead; forks into your own `repo/`; PRs as request-pull envelopes into the upstream `uploads/` dock), with this bead named as serving substrate (policy default 4). - Scaffolded the bead with agent-face from birth: about / README / agent.md / agent.json / names / keywords / uploads dock. - Design note [00-acequia-git-node-design.md](../notes/00-acequia-git-node-design.md): GitHub-function → acequia-primitive mapping (hosting→N-replicated history faces, identity→sovereign keys, forks→bead `repo/` clones, PRs→docks, CI→devops state machine); why git decentralizes easily (content-addressed, dumb-HTTP statically servable, every clone is a replica); liveness ladder static→SW(isomorphic-git)→OS animator; MVP = `update-server-info` + anonymous dumb-HTTP clone of the sphere-apps pilot repo. - No code yet — design + charter only.
