Problems worth being wrong about in public.

Six technical questions anchored to current code and published research. Every page identifies what is enforced, implemented, reference design, or unsolved before asking anyone to build with us.

The standard

A claim has to carry its evidence.

Each note states a falsifiable problem, hard constraints, an evaluation plan, known status, and a first contribution. This is a research invitation, not a claim that each problem is already solved.

Six starting points

Pick the hard part that interests you.

Implemented

Can consent become a type system for agents?

PCHP names identity, purpose, exact scope, validity, delivery, and receipt. The engineering question is whether those attributes can become machine-checkable invariants across a multi-tool agent plan, instead of natural-language promises around one.

How do we retrieve private memory without handing over a life?

A useful private agent needs durable context, but sending an entire personal model to a backend defeats the premise. The problem is selective recall: enough relevant memory to help, no ambient plaintext collection, and an honest erase path.

What does it take to trace a grounded answer?

A streaming answer may look fluent long before it is trustworthy. The search harness carries a question through bounded conversation context, grounding sources, enabled connectors, synthesis, and SSE telemetry. The research gap is deciding whether that trace is sufficient for a person to inspect the result.

Can MCP tools carry security semantics?

Tool descriptions tell a model what a tool does. They do not inherently say what the tool is allowed to do. The system separates read/search from action tools and enforces a consent-token gate for actions; the challenge is making that contract portable and hard to misdescribe.

Reference design

When should an agent leave the device?

The local-first compute thesis treats placement as a human decision as well as a scheduler decision: stay local when latency or privacy makes that right; propose a temporary burst only when the task earns it. It is a design target, not a shipped control plane in this repository.

Can you measure usefulness without watching people?

A private-agent company cannot honestly use conventional behavioral telemetry as its north-star instrument. The open problem is to estimate useful daily agents while treating the operator as an adversary and making individual behavior structurally difficult to observe.

Build in the open.

Read the source, challenge the model, and make a small contribution that can survive a test harness.
