Systems & Architecture
How Swarm works under the hood. Distributed Go runtime, git worktree isolation, local-first append-only state engines, and production incident post-mortems — architecture deep dives coming soon.
Core Runtime:Compiled Go daemon (`swarmd`)
State Engine:Local-first append-only logs
Git Model:Multi-worktree lineage

Architecture Deep Dives
Technical writeups on the systems design that makes concurrent agent execution reliable and deterministic. Deep dives are currently in preparation.

The Worktree Lineage Model
How Swarm prevents repository race conditions by isolating subagents in dedicated git worktrees with strict parent verification barriers.
Key Architectural Invariants:
- Subagents never edit the parent checkout or root branch directly
- Isolated sibling worktrees created from exact parent commit SHAs
- Parent owns test validation and integration barriers before promoting
- Deterministic multi-stage Task Programs with typed dependencies
