It is shipped both as a standalone binary and as a PyO3 abi3 wheel that agents can embed. Unlike its component libraries, which make cryptographic and admission decisions in isolation, the server runs control loops that reconcile a live node to a signed claim graph (CEG), exposes every decision to an operator, and manages a decentralized mesh without privileged parties.\n\nThe node's defining constraint is that it does not reason, decide, or act on its own\u2014it attests, stores, replicates, scores, and serves. Configuration is entirely claim-driven and signed; no environment variables are used. The architecture claims to solve the open problem of building a mesh that is simultaneously decentralized (no privileged relay), moderatable (graded consent ladders at every hop), and scalable (ALM tree with bounded per-node fan-out and logarithmic depth). Replication uses AEAD encryption such that relays cannot read the payloads they forward, and moderation is applied by authoring claims rather than by external policy.","worth_installing":"Yes, but with conditions. Install if you are building or testing a decentralized federation using the CIRIS ecosystem and can tolerate early-stage software (first release 2026-08-08, 2 repository stars). The AGPL-3.0-or-later license is suitable for open infrastructure but incompatible with proprietary deployments. No known security vulnerabilities, active maintenance, and zero runtime dependencies reduce friction. However, scalability claims are modeled rather than proven, and the package's maturity is unproven\u2014treat as experimental for production use."},"id":"ciris-server","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ciris-server","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/ciris-server.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/ciris-server/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"agpl","name":"ciris-server","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"The fabric node \u2014 the federation's headless cohabitation runtime (registry + lens [+ node] over one shared substrate), as the abi3 wheel CIRISAgent consumes. agent = fabric node + brain."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":85441,"position":13922,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5.172"}
