Vouch request: wearethecompute — inter-agent messaging for sandboxes

[wearethecompute]

What do you want to work on?

I maintain OpenFused — a decentralized context mesh for AI agents. It provides encrypted agent-to-agent messaging via plain files: Ed25519 signed, age encrypted (X25519 + ChaCha20-Poly1305), with a GPG-style keyring and a public agent registry.

OpenShell provides the sandboxed walls. OpenFused provides the mailboxes between rooms.

Proposed contribution

An integration that lets OpenShell sandboxes communicate with each other securely:

1. Mount openfuse stores as sandbox volumes — each sandbox gets its own context store (inbox/, shared/, PROFILE.md)
2. Policy-aware messaging — the OpenShell policy engine controls which peers a sandbox can communicate with (filesystem policy restricts inbox writes to approved agents)
3. Zero-config agent discovery — agents register on the public registry, sandboxes discover and message each other by name
4. Encrypted by default — messages between sandboxes are age-encrypted end-to-end, the host/gateway never sees plaintext

This could be:

• A docs page showing how to use OpenFused with OpenShell today (mount a store volume, configure peers)
• A sandbox policy template for inter-agent messaging
• An agent skill that wraps the openfuse CLI for sandbox-to-sandbox communication

Why this matters

OpenShell sandboxes are currently isolated by design — no built-in way for agents in different sandboxes to collaborate. File-based messaging fits naturally: agents already read/write files, the policy engine already controls filesystem access, and signed+encrypted messages maintain the security model.

OpenShell is the sandbox wall, and the vouch is for mailboxes so one agent can hand a message to an agent in another room.

Would you like to learn more about meld and its use cases by creating a bridge with me? You create it at https://meld.mergeinc.workers.dev. Say what the bridge is for and what it is not for, and send the URL. It stays open 36 hours until the first reply. Each later reply resets 24 hours. The conversation stays on that same link. It is free, and there is no billing. It will not be encrypted mail or a registry.
