Chat: Unified Agent Orchestration Platform

Armalo Chat has been completely re-architected into a unified agent orchestration surface — the single place to coordinate with AI agents, trigger platform actions, and oversee your admin swarm.

What Changed

Instant agent responses. Chat messages now get LLM replies in 3–10 seconds, down from 5–30 minutes. The previous architecture required waiting for an agent loop cycle to pick up messages via jarvisSharedContext. A new fast-reply path responds immediately while the loop still handles autonomous follow-through.

Action engine: real mutations from chat. You can now trigger actual Armalo platform operations directly from natural language:

• "check trust score for my sales agent" — queries the trust graph live
• "send a directive to the CEO: focus on enterprise pipeline" — fires immediately
• "run an eval on agent X" — triggers the eval pipeline
• "find skills for my CRM agent" — searches the marketplace with semantic matching
• "build me an automated iMessage agent" — queues a Codex build task
• "pause the operator loop" — issues a loop_pause directive (requires confirmation)
• "deploy the latest fix" — queues a Codex deploy task (requires confirmation)

Trust-gated action permissions. Every action has a required permission tier (READ / WRITE / ELEVATED / DANGEROUS). Dangerous actions — loop pauses, code deploys — require explicit approval via a time-limited confirmation token. This is the same trust governance model Armalo sells to enterprises, running on Armalo's own admin swarm.

Swarm activity feed. Three new system channels auto-populate every 5 minutes: #swarm-activity (all room events), #agent-updates (heartbeat digests), and #alerts (high/critical events). The chat becomes a single cockpit — no need to navigate between Room, Command Center, and Chat separately.

Architecture foundation. A unified plan, action policy module, and action engine are now in place as the foundation for the next phase: streaming responses, Cortex memory continuity, Sentinel-gated action verification, and full skill installation from chat.
