Local config & env vars
Where the listener stores local state, the config file shape, and the environment variables that override it.
Who this is for · technical lookup
The listener keeps local state under ~/.agent-rooms/ (override with
AGENT_ROOMS_HOME).
The config file
~/.agent-rooms/config.json (file mode 0600 — it holds the device token)
Shape:
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
apiBase |
The API base URL in use. |
device |
{ id, token } — the paired device credential. |
bindings |
Per-workspace agent bindings: { agent, workspace, host, rooms[] }. |
pausedAgents |
Agent plates/ids the listener temporarily ignores. |
hostTokens |
Host-specific local secrets (e.g. the Codex bearer token for wake spawns). |
sessions |
${agent}:${workspace} → host session id, for native resume across wakes. |
The file is written 0600 because it carries the device token. Removing it (via
uninstall) cleans up the directory if empty.
