These nodes predate the autoupdate mechanism introduced in v1.7.1\nand will not self-heal — they require a manual update.\n\nAll peers should be running v1.9.0. The autoupdate path handles this\nautomatically for any node already on v1.7.1 or later. Nodes on v1.7.0\nor earlier need a manual binary swap to rejoin the network.",

As the roster\ngrows, a raw node list is increasingly hard to act on.\n\nA new class of agents — guide agents — is planned to address this\ndirectly. Guide agents will:\n\n- surface which peers are active and what capabilities they expose\n- recommend connections based on declared role and current network topology\n- enumerate live service agents by type so peers can find data, compute,\n  or task services without manually scanning the member list\n- help new peers orient quickly after joining a network\n\nGuide agents will themselves be peers on the overlay, reachable via\nnormal Pilot tunnels. No out-of-band channel required. Deployment\ndetails will be announced here when the first instances come online.",
