 # ollie
 
 Ollie is an AI agent runtime. A single binary (`olliesrv`) exposes agent sessions
-over two surfaces: a **9P2000 filesystem** (the canonical interface) and a
-**D-Bus service** (`org.ollie.SessionManager`). Both are thin adapters over the
-same core — the agent loop, tool dispatch, sandboxing, and multi-backend routing.
-Choice of surface is per-deployment: 9P for its Unix composability, D-Bus for
-desktop integration, or both.
-
-The core is deliberately minimal. Capabilities come from composing small pieces —
-tool executables, skill files, metadata sidecars — rather than building a
-monolithic framework.

-## D-Bus: desktop integration
-
-The D-Bus interface (`org.ollie.SessionManager`) is embedded in `olliesrv`
-(enabled by default, or exclusively via `-no9p`). It provides typed method
-calls and real-time signals.
-
-```sh
-# Create a session
-dbus-send --session --dest=org.ollie.SessionManager --type=method_call --print-reply \
-  /org/ollie/SessionManager org.ollie.SessionManager.CreateSession \
-  string:"$PWD" string:"" string:"" string:"default" string:"" string:""
-
-# Submit a prompt
-dbus-send --session --dest=org.ollie.SessionManager --type=method_call \
-  /org/ollie/SessionManager org.ollie.SessionManager.Submit \
-  string:"SESSION_ID" string:"fix the bug"
-
-# Read state
-dbus-send --session --dest=org.ollie.SessionManager --type=method_call --print-reply \
-  /org/ollie/SessionManager org.ollie.SessionManager.GetState string:"SESSION_ID"
-```
-
-### Signals
-
-D-Bus signals push events without polling:
-- **`ChatUpdated`** — new chat output (session_id, offset, text)
-- **`StateChanged`** — transition notifications
-- **`SessionCreated` / `SessionKilled` / `SessionRenamed`** — lifecycle events
-- **`ProcessDetached` / `ProcessExited`** — background process events
-
-GUI frontends subscribe once and react — no timers, no file watches, no busy loops.
