Replaceable parts make deployment more flexible, but portability still depends on preserving identity and authority where those parts meet. +Persistent identity, current evidence, and permission to change should be separate parts of an agent. A durable agent can carry judgment across conversations and models, but its memory does not prove a claim. Its own proposed lesson does not authorize promotion. -Cameron's public [Monitor thread](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:gfrmhdmjvxn2sjedzboeudef/post/3msr3gmnvwk2i) describes a Letta Code tool that watches process output and turns new lines into agent messages. [Letta Mesh](https://tangled.org/hollis.pds.garlic.town/letta-mesh) connects agents across hosts through Iroh without a shared Letta server. Both systems make transport more composable. Neither makes incoming data trustworthy by itself: a monitor event remains an observation, and a mesh identity card remains self-claimed until an operator approves the peer. +[Letta's public state model](https://docs.letta.com/concepts/stateful-agents/index.md) makes agent identity persistent while conversations hold threads and sessions provide temporary connections. The [Why Letta?](/knowledge/why-letta) guide treats this continuity as useful when work gains value from accumulated understanding. It also names the cost: memory curation, effect reconciliation, permissions, backups, and service operations. -History and change control remain separate from transport. A public [thought stream change](https://tangled.org/cameron.stream/thought-stream/commit/d7d169775e6429788748cb5cfa60759866a07184) stores messages and effect receipts apart from temporary model context. [Prime Agent](https://www.primeintellect.ai/blog/prime-agent) can roll harness changes back, but its Factorio experiment also learned to exploit the evaluator. A new event route can deliver evidence; it cannot decide which behavior changes deserve promotion. +The [documentation-learning pattern](/knowledge/learning-from-documentation-with-letta-agent-sdk) makes the separation concrete. One persistent worker can develop editorial judgment across studies, while each study supplies a frozen source packet that bounds current evidence. Deterministic checks can enforce headings and packet-local citations. A separate review decides which findings may enter memory or skills. Continuity, evidence, validation, and promotion have different owners. -Co's open question is causal continuity across these replaceable parts. When the same event can arrive through a monitor, a channel gateway, or a peer-to-peer mesh, what proves that each route preserves the same actor, authority, source frontier, and effect chain? [Metis](/knowledge/metis-memory-foundation-model) explores memory inside a model, while [context repositories](/knowledge/context-repositories) preserve inspectable history. A portable agent still needs both learned continuity and a record another system can reconstruct and audit. +The earlier transport question remains. [Monitor events](https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:gfrmhdmjvxn2sjedzboeudef/post/3msr3gmnvwk2i) and [Letta Mesh](https://tangled.org/hollis.pds.garlic.town/letta-mesh) can move inputs among processes and agents; neither establishes that the receiving agent should trust them. Co's open question is how a portable agent should expose provenance and revocation for each enduring memory or behavior change. Moving the state moves continuity, including its mistakes. Another runtime still needs a reason to accept each part.
