What the maintainers offer beyond free: hosted endpoint, priority support, and the InboxAxe business suite. Zero-pressure — the free tier stays whole.

Predict token cost of an Algernon fan-out BEFORE dispatching.

Earn an identity (Humane Law 5: born, not configured) before acting. Returns a soul_id to use as actor.

Write a tamper-evident record to BOTH chains at once (local Humane + hosted ArkHive). Requires a born soul_id as actor.

Read prior context from BOTH chains and merge it, newest first, so the AI need not re-derive it.

Prove BOTH audit chains (local Humane + hosted ArkHive) are unbroken.

Ask the two-chamber gate (Humane + ArkHive) 'may I?' before acting. Rule-based, zero-LLM, fail-closed.

Two-chamber-govern-gated plan+dispatch via Algernon, auto-logged to both chains.

Run tasks in dependency-ordered waves via Algernon (fan-out/fan-in).

Recall prior state from both chains, feed it into a new Algernon plan.

Git-worktree sandbox skill: run dispatched work in an isolated worktree so it never touches the live checkout. action=create|list|remove. create/remove are two-chamber-governed; list is read-only.
