anthonyrawlins d0973b2adf Phase 3: Implement Core Task Execution Engine (v0.4.0)
This commit implements Phase 3 of the CHORUS task execution engine development plan,
replacing the mock implementation with a real AI-powered task execution system.

## Major Components Added:

### TaskExecutionEngine (pkg/execution/engine.go)
- Complete AI-powered task execution orchestration
- Bridges AI providers (Phase 1) with execution sandboxes (Phase 2)
- Configurable execution strategies and resource management
- Comprehensive task result processing and artifact handling
- Real-time metrics and monitoring integration

### Task Coordinator Integration (coordinator/task_coordinator.go)
- Replaced mock time.Sleep(10s) implementation with real AI execution
- Added initializeExecutionEngine() method for setup
- Integrated AI-powered execution with fallback to mock when needed
- Enhanced task result processing with execution metadata
- Improved task type detection and context building

### Key Features:
- **AI-Powered Execution**: Tasks are now processed by AI providers with appropriate role-based routing
- **Sandbox Integration**: Commands generated by AI are executed in secure Docker containers
- **Artifact Management**: Files and outputs generated during execution are properly captured
- **Performance Monitoring**: Detailed metrics tracking AI response time, sandbox execution time, and resource usage
- **Fallback Resilience**: Graceful fallback to mock execution when AI/sandbox systems are unavailable
- **Comprehensive Error Handling**: Proper error handling and logging throughout the execution pipeline

### Technical Implementation:
- Task execution requests are converted to AI prompts with contextual information
- AI responses are parsed to extract executable commands and file artifacts
- Commands are executed in isolated Docker containers with resource limits
- Results are aggregated with execution metrics and returned to the coordinator
- Full integration maintains backward compatibility while adding real execution capability

This completes the core execution engine and enables CHORUS agents to perform real AI-powered task execution
instead of simulated work, representing a major milestone in the autonomous agent capability.

CHORUS Container-First Context Platform (Alpha)

CHORUS is the runtime that ties the CHORUS ecosystem together: libp2p mesh, DHT-backed storage, council/task coordination, and (eventually) SLURP contextual intelligence. The repository you are looking at is the in-progress container-first refactor. Several core systems boot today, but higher-level services (SLURP, SHHH, full HMMM routing) are still landing.

Current Status

Area Status Notes
libp2p node + PubSub Running internal/runtime/shared.go spins up the mesh, hypercore logging, availability broadcasts.
DHT + DecisionPublisher Running Encrypted storage wired through pkg/dht; decisions written via ucxl.DecisionPublisher.
Leader Election System FULLY FUNCTIONAL 🎉 MILESTONE: Complete admin election with consensus, discovery protocol, heartbeats, and SLURP activation!
SLURP (context intelligence) 🚧 Stubbed pkg/slurp/slurp.go contains TODOs for resolver, temporal graphs, intelligence. Leader integration scaffolding exists but uses placeholder IDs/request forwarding.
SHHH (secrets sentinel) 🚧 Sentinel live pkg/shhh redacts hypercore + PubSub payloads with audit + metrics hooks (policy replay TBD).
HMMM routing 🚧 Partial PubSub topics join, but capability/role announcements and HMMM router wiring are placeholders (internal/runtime/agent_support.go).

See docs/progress/CHORUS-WHOOSH-development-plan.md for the detailed build plan and docs/progress/CHORUS-WHOOSH-roadmap.md for sequencing.

Quick Start (Alpha)

The container-first workflows are still evolving; expect frequent changes.

git clone https://gitea.chorus.services/tony/CHORUS.git
cd CHORUS
cp docker/chorus.env.example docker/chorus.env
# adjust env vars (KACHING license, bootstrap peers, etc.)
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up --build

Youll get a single agent container with:

  • libp2p networking (mDNS + configured bootstrap peers)
  • election heartbeat
  • DHT storage (AGE-encrypted)
  • HTTP API + health endpoints

Missing today: SLURP context resolution, advanced SHHH policy replay, HMMM per-issue routing. Expect log warnings/TODOs for those paths.

🎉 Leader Election System (NEW!)

CHORUS now features a complete, production-ready leader election system:

Core Features

  • Consensus-based election with weighted scoring (uptime, capabilities, resources)
  • Admin discovery protocol for network-wide leader identification
  • Heartbeat system with automatic failover (15-second intervals)
  • Concurrent election prevention with randomized delays
  • SLURP activation on elected admin nodes

How It Works

  1. Bootstrap: Nodes start in idle state, no admin known
  2. Discovery: Nodes send discovery requests to find existing admin
  3. Election trigger: If no admin found after grace period, trigger election
  4. Candidacy: Eligible nodes announce themselves with capability scores
  5. Consensus: Network selects winner based on highest score
  6. Leadership: Winner starts heartbeats, activates SLURP functionality
  7. Monitoring: Nodes continuously verify admin health via heartbeats

Debugging

Use these log patterns to monitor election health:

# Monitor WHOAMI messages and leader identification
docker service logs CHORUS_chorus | grep "🤖 WHOAMI\|👑\|📡.*Discovered"

# Track election cycles
docker service logs CHORUS_chorus | grep "🗳️\|📢.*candidacy\|🏆.*winner"

# Watch discovery protocol
docker service logs CHORUS_chorus | grep "📩\|📤\|📥"

Roadmap Highlights

  1. Security substrate land SHHH sentinel, finish SLURP leader-only operations, validate COOEE enrolment (see roadmap Phase 1).
  2. Autonomous teams coordinate with WHOOSH for deployment telemetry + SLURP context export.
  3. UCXL + KACHING hook runtime telemetry into KACHING and enforce UCXL validator.

Track progress via the shared roadmap and weekly burndown dashboards.

  • WHOOSH council/team orchestration
  • KACHING telemetry/licensing
  • SLURP contextual intelligence prototypes
  • HMMM meta-discussion layer

Contributing

This repo is still alpha. Please coordinate via the roadmap tickets before landing changes. Major security/runtime decisions should include a Decision Record with a UCXL address so SLURP/BUBBLE can ingest it later.
