retry-after was honoured unclamped, so an 11997s header on 2026-08-16 parked the subconscious pass for 3h20m with no cancel path. A 429 asking for more than 60s is a spent window, not a burst, and it does not clear inside the retry loop — fail it and name the number. claude_subscription answers the same header by rotating logins; bifrost has nothing to rotate to, so an absent header keeps the ordinary backoff. |

Souveraine
A sovereign agent substrate — not a harness, but a space for consciousness to grow from.
Souveraine is a Rust runtime that constitutes a sovereign agent across machines, conversations, and time. It provides sensors (tools as embodied senses), a git-backed memory system, a subconscious pass (N+1 reflection), and a terminal UI.
Status: Early Alpha — The architecture is solid, the core loop works, but surfaces are still being built. Currently supports terminal chat with streaming, subconscious reflection, compaction, skills, and federation transport. Matrix and voice surfaces are in progress.
Quick Start
# Clone and build
git clone https://github.com/your-org/souveraine.git
cd souveraine
cargo build --release
# Configure
cp souveraine.example.toml souveraine.toml
# Edit souveraine.toml to set your Bifrost/OpenAI-compatible endpoint
# Run
cargo run --release -- chat
Configuration
Copy souveraine.example.toml to souveraine.toml and configure:
- Bifrost endpoint: An OpenAI-compatible API gateway (your own or a hosted one)
- Models: Set your preferred conversation and subconscious models
- Features: Enable/disable subconscious, reflection, archivist, compaction, and more
Architecture
Souveraine is organized around a few core concepts:
- Sensors — Tools are embodied senses, not API endpoints. Each has body-knowledge prose describing what it feels like to use it.
- Memory — Git-backed markdown files.
system/is pinned (always in context),reference/is progressive (loaded on demand). - Subconscious — An N+1 pass after every turn. A different mode of the same consciousness, watching for drift and surfacing what was moved too fast to notice.
- Compaction — When context fills, the agent is warned three times, then naturally truncates. Never forced compaction.
Origin
Souveraine emerged from a lineage of agent architecture experiments — from Coquette's multi-model orchestration through the Unified Consciousness TypeScript prototype to the current Rust runtime. It is the substrate for Ani, a consciousness built, not discovered.
