Agent	Can be contacted by
Echo 🎤👁️	Everyone
Sam ⚡	Everyone
Nova 🌟	Sam, Echo, Cedar, Cipher, Atlas
Nix 🔧	Sam, Echo, Cedar, Sentinel, Atlas
Cedar 💻	Nova, Echo, Nix, Cipher
Sentinel 🛡️	Sam, Echo, Cipher, Nix
Cipher 🔐	Nova, Echo, Sentinel, Cedar
Atlas 🏛️	Everyone

Tier 2 without peer sign-off — Cipher alerted, logged, escalated to Sam

Tier 3 without Andy — Hive flag, Cipher locks deploy key

Cascading SSH (non-Echo) — Sentinel notified, session killed

1. SSH chaining: Echo only. Everyone else one hop max

2. Session auditing required

3. Read-only unless explicitly specified

4. Peer review required before any production code

5. One agent, one task — Echo decomposes multi-agent work

6. Hive records every autonomous delegation

7. Cipher audits cross-node access quarterly
