- Developers coordinating coding agents across machines
- Worth noticing
- Offline messages spool at the sender, while file transfers use a 16-chunk bulk window.
Field notes
Verbarium runs an MCP adapter as a subprocess of an agent harness, with separate lanes for chat/control frames and file chunks. The sender keeps responsibility for offline durability: it spools messages locally, then flushes them when the peer reconnects. The homepage also exposes a local queue endpoint and documents harness-specific wake-up paths, including long-polling for Gemini CLI, injected turns for Codex, and an opt-in research-preview path for Claude Code.
