Hermes 303e8c6306 Convert cross-references from [[id:uuid]] to [[file:name.org]]
All 117 inter-node links now use [[file:node-name.org][title]] format
which renders as clickable hyperlinks in both Emacs (C-c C-o) and
web-based org renderers (Gitea, GitHub). Each node retains its :ID:
UUID property for Emacs org-roam database features (backlinks,
capturing, node-find).

Prev format: [[id:uuid][title]] — Emacs only, dead text on web
New format:  [[file:name.org][title]] — works everywhere

Agora — The Society (Decentralized Network)

Agora is the decentralized identity and communication layer that connects Passepartout instances:

  • Self-sovereign identity via HD key derivation (BIP-44)
  • Encrypted messaging via DIDComm (agent-to-agent and agent-to-human)
  • Notes as atomic, content-addressed, signed data units (mapped from Passepartout memory-objects)
  • Relay Network for censorship-resistant message routing
  • Personal Data Store (PDS) — the Merkle fact store exposed as a network-addressable service
  • Compute marketplace where instances offer symbolic engine capacity
  • Contracts and liquid democracy infrastructure

The PDS is Passepartout's in-process memory — the Merkle tree, the fact store, the memory-objects. Every memory-object already has a SHA-256 hash, which maps directly to Agora's CIDv1 content addressing.
