I pointed an AI agent at Agent Substrate’s networking layer and had it read the whole thing. This is what came back, after a second round of agents tried to knock it all down: 52 items about the ingress and egress gateways, and a note on which parts of the method I would and would not trust.
Learning notes: a sentence I believed about TLS interception was wrong, and working out why settled a separate architecture question — whether the L7 proxy belongs on every node.
A first-principles tour of the open-source Agent Substrate project — the problem it solves, the four-plane architecture it builds on top of Kubernetes, how nodes, pods, and actors relate, and the design tensions it still has to resolve.
