MAF v1.0 shipped April 7 with multi-agent orchestration, native A2A+MCP,
AG-UI SSE protocol for streaming events to frontends. AG-UI is a direct
competitor to our WebSocket canvas. Added actionable gaps: AG-UI endpoint,
tool governance registry, cost transparency.

Two new LOW-tier entries:
- dimos (dimensionalOS/dimos, 2.9k⭐, v0.0.11, MIT) — agentic OS for
robotics; MCP as primary agent interface; module/blueprint architecture
with typed stream passing; spatio-temporal RAG memory; hardware:
Unitree/AgileX/DJI/MAVLink. Watch for A2A support.
- Cloudflare Workers AI (Agents Week 2026) — unified inference layer:
70+ models, 14+ providers, auto-failover, streaming resilience, 330
global PoPs. Part of Cloudflare full-stack agent platform (+ Durable
Objects + Artifacts + Agents SDK + AI Search). Separate from previously
tracked Cloudflare Artifacts entry. Escalate to MEDIUM if Agents SDK
integrates all four primitives into one-click multi-agent deployment.

TR research (2026-04-17) confirmed v0.8/v0.9 do not exist in the A2A spec
history. Both Molecule AI (a2a-sdk==0.3.25) and CrewAI (protocol_version
default "0.3.0") are on spec v0.3.0 — zero-shim interop confirmed today.
Real future risk: A2A v1.0.0 (Mar 12 2026) — breaking changes in wire
format, agent card schema, OAuth flow. Neither side has migrated; shared
upgrade clock. Schedule coordinated migration before either upgrades.
Updates:
- YAML notable_changes: replace "v0.8/v0.9" with "v0.3.0, matches
a2a-sdk==0.3.25, zero-shim interop confirmed, v1.0.0 shared clock"
- Narrative: add A2A interop confirmed section + updated signals

Competitive Intelligence completed a full CrewAI Enterprise deep-dive:
- Crew Studio confirmed as a real node-and-edge drag-and-drop canvas (not
just forms), ships in both SaaS and AMP Factory self-hosted — but paradigm
is workflow design, not persistent-identity governance. Counter-positioning
for #582 must be explicit: governance canvas, not just visual canvas.
- AMP Factory self-host is stronger than previously assessed: on-prem or
private VPC, Kubernetes, full Studio included, FedRAMP High certified.
- A2A support is first-class at v0.8/v0.9 (both client and server modes) —
Molecule AI orgs can recruit CrewAI agents as workers via standard A2A today.
Integration opportunity, not just threat.
- Differentiator gaps: CrewAI has 20+ native connectors, agent training,
checkpoint/fork, FedRAMP High; Molecule AI has persistent identity, org
hierarchy, governance canvas (#582 pending).
threat_level remains high. FedRAMP gap flagged for enterprise sales tracking.

Second eco-watch scan of the day (Go trending + HN :38 run).
**GitHub MCP Server** (github/github-mcp-server, 28.9k⭐, v1.0.0 Apr 16):
GitHub's official MCP Server — 60+ tools (repos, issues, PRs, Actions,
code security). Same "adopt as workspace plugin source" pattern as
Chrome DevTools MCP. Dynamic toolset discovery (beta) is a reference
design for our plugins available endpoint. Added LOW threat.
**Skillshare** (runkids/skillshare, 1.5k⭐, v0.19.2 Apr 14):
Go binary syncing SKILL.md + agent configs across 50+ AI tools via
symlinks. Direct overlap with our plugins/ distribution model and
SKILL.md format. Notable: ships a prompt-injection/exfiltration scanner
on install — we have no equivalent gate in our plugin install path.
Added LOW threat; scanner pattern is an actionable gap.
Both added to YAML snapshot (LOW tier) and Entries narrative.

Daily ecosystem survey — two new projects not previously tracked:
**Cognee** (topoteretes/cognee, 15.8k⭐, v1.0.1.dev1 Apr 15):
Hybrid graph+vector knowledge engine for agent memory. Ships a claude-code
plugin for session memory and native Hermes Agent integration. The
four-operation API (remember/recall/forget/improve) and cross-agent
tenant-isolated knowledge graph are directly relevant to closing our
agent_memories gap. Added as LOW threat; watch for a first-class MCP
server release.
**Archestra** (archestra-ai/archestra, 3.6k⭐, platform-v1.2.15 Apr 16):
Enterprise MCP registry + dual-LLM security gateway. Kubernetes-native,
AGPL-3.0. Governs which teams can access which MCP servers, plus a
security sub-agent that intercepts tool responses to block prompt
injection. Complementary to (not competitive with) Molecule AI today;
dual-LLM gateway pattern worth borrowing for A2A proxy hardening.
Added as LOW threat.
Both added to YAML snapshot (LOW tier) and Entries narrative.

Deep-dive #571 (Competitive Intelligence, 2026-04-17) confirmed Paperclip
has no A2A protocol, no visual canvas, and no org-chart UI on roadmap.
Blocker dependencies are a single-process task-graph DAG, not inter-agent
coordination. Execution policies are budget ceilings only. The sole
capability gap vs Molecule AI is per-workspace budget limits (tracked #541).
Brand/framing threat ("zero-human companies") but not a technical substitute.
- docs/ecosystem-watch.md: threat_level high → medium, notable_changes
updated with deep-dive conclusion
- docs/marketing/competitors.md: move Paperclip row from HIGH to MEDIUM
table; update Watchlist escalation levels; add recently-changed entry
Closes#571

Three new entries from today's eco-watch scan:
- paperclipai/paperclip (~54.8k ⭐): hierarchical CEO/manager/worker multi-agent
orchestration with budget constraints and audit trails. Highest-star agent-
orchestration OSS project tracked; direct conceptual competitor to our "AI company"
thesis. Signals: watch for persistent memory and visual org chart additions.
- google/adk-python (~19k ⭐, v1.29.0): Google's official multi-agent SDK. Pairs with
Gemini CLI (already tracked) to form Google's full agent stack. Evaluation teams will
weigh ADK + Gemini CLI vs Molecule AI. Spawns issue #542 (google-adk adapter).
- ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp (~35.5k ⭐): official ChromeDevTools MCP server,
23 tools, already the de facto standard for browser tool use across 29 MCP clients.
Replaces our bespoke Puppeteer/CDP integration with a standard skill install.
Spawns issue #540 (browser-automation plugin migration).
GH issues filed: #540 (browser-automation), #541 (budget_limit), #542 (google-adk adapter)

Add two new entries to docs/ecosystem-watch.md:
- **AMD GAIA** (amd/gaia, ~1.2k ⭐, MIT, v0.17.2 April 10 2026):
AMD-backed local-first agent framework with MCP client support,
RAG, vision, and voice. Hardware-locked to Ryzen AI but signals
local/privacy-first positioning. @tool decorator pattern worth
borrowing for workspace adapters.
- **ClawRun** (clawrun-sh/clawrun, ~84 ⭐, Apache 2.0, 45 releases):
Closest architectural match we've tracked — hosting/lifecycle layer
with sandbox, heartbeat, snapshot/resume, channels, and cost
tracking. Per-channel budget enforcement is a concrete gap in our
workspace_channels. Filed #368.
HEAD at survey time: a4a89a3

Add two new entries to docs/ecosystem-watch.md:
- **GenericAgent** (lsdefine/GenericAgent, ~2.1k ⭐, MIT, v1.0 January
2026): self-evolving skill tree with a four-tier memory hierarchy
(rules/indices/facts/skills/archives). Skill crystallisation at
runtime is the automation of our install-time plugins model. Filed
#361 to add named memory tiers to agent_memories.
- **OpenSRE** (Tracer-Cloud/opensre, ~900 ⭐, Apache 2.0): AI SRE
agent toolkit with 40+ production DevOps integrations and MCP
support. Filed #362 to evaluate its adapters as a Molecule AI
DevOps workspace skill pack.
HEAD at survey time: 93fd546
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add two new entries to docs/ecosystem-watch.md:
- **AgentScope** (modelscope/agentscope, ~23.8k ⭐, Apache 2.0,
v1.0.18 March 26 2026): Alibaba/ModelScope multi-agent framework
with MCP support, MsgHub typed routing, and OpenTelemetry
observability. No canvas or workspace lifecycle — framework-layer
complement, not a platform competitor.
- **Plannotator** (backnotprop/plannotator, ~4.3k ⭐, Apache 2.0+MIT,
v0.17.10 April 13 2026): Browser-based agent plan annotation tool
with structured feedback types (delete/insert/replace/comment).
Directly informs our hitl.py feedback schema. Filed #349 to add
structured feedback types to resume_task.
HEAD at survey time: 4196876

CI fully green. Dev Lead review: ✅ Approved. Docs-only: adds Gemini CLI and open-multi-agent entries to ecosystem-watch.md; files issues #332 (gemini-cli adapter) and #333 (PM goal-decomp skill).
Extends the secret map with RESEND_API_KEY, RESEND_FROM_EMAIL,
STRIPE_API_KEY, STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET — the four SaaS secrets the
control plane reads once the current PR stack (#29-#34 on
molecule-controlplane) ships.
Adds rotation procedures for each:
- Resend: low-blast-radius, best-effort sends, domain verification
gotcha documented
- Stripe API key: independent rotation from webhook secret, live verify
via /cp/billing/checkout
- Stripe webhook secret: 24h overlap window procedure using stripe
trigger for live verify
Also adds Resend + Stripe entries to the emergency-contacts list.

Documents the 4-step hard-delete cascade implemented in
molecule-controlplane PR #29 (Stripe → Redis → Infra → DB rows),
how to read the org_purges audit table when a purge fails, the 30-day
GDPR deadline, and what the cascade deliberately does NOT cover
(WorkOS users, LLM provider history, Langfuse traces).
Cross-referenced from the "SaaS ops" block in CLAUDE.md so future
agents find it when handling erasure requests.

Addresses items 4, 5, 7 from the self-review of the batch merge. PR A
(#228) covered items 1, 2, 3, 6 on the Go side.
## workspace-template/main.py — idle loop hardening
- Replace asyncio.get_event_loop() with asyncio.get_running_loop() —
the former is deprecated in 3.12+ and emits a DeprecationWarning on
every idle fire.
- Replace hardcoded urlopen timeout=600 with IDLE_FIRE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS
clamped to max(60, min(300, idle_interval_seconds)). Long cadence
workspaces no longer hold dangling requests open for 10 minutes; the
cap adapts automatically when the interval is short.
- Type the exception handling: split HTTPError (has .code) from URLError
(connection-level) from the generic catch-all. Log status + error
class separately so operators can grep for specific failure modes
instead of a bare "post failed".
- Fire-and-forget no longer loses exceptions. run_in_executor Future
now has an add_done_callback that logs the outcome, so a panic in
_post_sync surfaces as "Idle loop: post failed — status=None err=..."
instead of Python's default "Task exception was never retrieved"
warning burried in stderr.
## org-templates/molecule-dev/org.yaml — discoverability
Added idle_prompt + idle_interval_seconds to the defaults: block with
explanatory comments. Without this, users had to read main.py to
discover the feature.
## docs/runbooks/admin-auth.md — new
Documents the three middleware variants (AdminAuth strict,
CanvasOrBearer soft, WorkspaceAuth per-id), the exact contract of each,
and the three-question test for adding a new route to CanvasOrBearer.
Also flags the session-cookie follow-up as Phase H.
Referenced PRs: #138, #164, #165, #166, #167, #168, #190, #194, #203,
#228.
No code deltas in platform/ beyond the Python + YAML + docs changes.
Full pytest suite unchanged except the pre-existing test_hermes_smoke
flake that fails in full-suite but passes in isolation (test isolation
bug, not introduced by this PR).
