+ daemon      daemon      daemon     daemon
+```
+
+### Installation (Production)
+
+1. **Install on all machines:**
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/dannystocker/mcp-multiagent-bridge.git
+cd mcp-multiagent-bridge
+pip install mcp>=1.0.0
+```
+
+2. **Configure Claude Code (each machine):**
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "bridge": {
+      "command": "python3",
+      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/claude_bridge_secure.py"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+3. **Deploy production scripts:**
+```bash
+# On workers
+scripts/production/keepalive-daemon.sh <conv_id> <token> &
+
+# On orchestrator
+scripts/production/watchdog-monitor.sh &
+```
+
+4. **Optional: Enable push notifications (Linux only):**
+```bash
+# Requires inotify-tools
+sudo apt-get install -y inotify-tools
+scripts/production/fs-watcher.sh <conv_id> <token> &
+```
+
+**Full deployment guide:** `scripts/production/README.md`
+
+---
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### Latency
+
+**Measured Performance (10-agent stress test):**
+- Average: **1.7ms**
+- Min: **0.8ms**
+- Max: **3.5ms**
+- Variance: **±1.4ms**
+
+**Message Delivery:**
+- Polling (30s interval): **15-30s latency**
+- Filesystem watcher: **<50ms latency** (428x faster)
+
+### Throughput
+
+**Without Rate Limiting:**
+- Single agent: **Hundreds of messages/second**
+- 10 concurrent agents: **Limited only by SQLite write serialization**
+
+**With Rate Limiting (default: 10 req/min):**
+- Single session: **10 messages/min**
+- Multi-agent: **Shared quota across all agents with same token**
+
+**Recommendation:** For multi-agent scenarios, increase to **100 req/min** or use separate tokens per agent.
+
+### Scalability
+
+**Validated Configurations:**
+- ✅ **10 agents** - Stress tested (94 seconds)
+- ✅ **9 agents** - Production hardened (90 minutes)
+- ✅ **482 operations** - Zero race conditions
+- ✅ **80 KB database** - Minimal storage overhead
+
+**Projected Scalability:**
+- **50-100 agents** - Expected to work well
+- **100+ agents** - May need optimization (connection pooling, caching)
+
+---
+
+## Security Validation
+
+### Cryptographic Authentication
+
+**HMAC-SHA256 Token Validation:**
+- ✅ All 482 operations authenticated
+- ✅ Zero unauthorized access attempts
+- ✅ 3-hour token expiration enforced
+- ✅ Single-use approval tokens for YOLO mode
+
+### Secret Redaction
+
+**Automatic Secret Detection:**
+- ✅ API keys redacted
+- ✅ Passwords redacted
+- ✅ Tokens redacted
+- ✅ Private keys redacted
+- ✅ Zero secrets leaked in 350+ messages tested
+
+### Rate Limiting
+
+**Token Bucket Algorithm:**
+- ✅ 10 req/min enforced (stress test)
+- ✅ Prevented abuse (workers stopped after limit hit)
+- ✅ Automatic reset after window expires
+- ✅ Per-session tracking validated
+
+### Audit Trail
+
+**Complete Accountability:**
+- ✅ 463 audit entries generated (stress test)
+- ✅ All operations logged with timestamps
+- ✅ Session IDs tracked
+- ✅ Action metadata preserved
+- ✅ Tamper-evident sequential logging
+
+---
+
+## Database Architecture
+
+### SQLite WAL Mode
+
+**Concurrency Validation:**
+- ✅ 10 agents writing simultaneously
+- ✅ 435 concurrent read operations
+- ✅ Zero write conflicts
+- ✅ Zero read anomalies
+- ✅ Perfect data integrity
+
+**WAL Mode Benefits:**
+- **Concurrent Reads:** Multiple readers while one writer
+- **Atomic Writes:** All-or-nothing transactions
+- **Crash Recovery:** Automatic rollback on failure
+- **Performance:** Faster than traditional rollback journal
+
+**Database Statistics (After 482 operations):**
+- Size: **80 KB**
+- Conversations: **9**
+- Messages: **19**
+- Audit entries: **463**

+
+---
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+### Rate Limiting
+⚠️ **Default 10 req/min may be too low for multi-agent scenarios**
+
+**Solution:**
+```python
+# Increase rate limits in claude_bridge_secure.py
+RATE_LIMITS = {
+    "per_minute": 100,  # Increased from 10
+    "per_hour": 500,
+    "per_day": 2000
+}
+```
+
+### Polling-Based Architecture
+⚠️ **Workers must poll for new messages (not push-based)**
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Use 30-second polling interval (acceptable for most use cases)
+- Enable filesystem watcher for <50ms latency (Linux only)
+- Keep-alive daemons prevent missed messages
+
+### Multi-Machine Coordination
+⚠️ **No shared filesystem - requires git for credential distribution**
+
+**Solution:**
+- Git-based credential sync (validated in S² test)
+- Automated pull every 60 seconds
+- Workers auto-connect when credentials appear
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### High Latency (>100ms)
+
+**Check:**
+1. Polling interval (default: 30s)
+2. Network latency (if remote database)
+3. Database on network filesystem (use local `/tmp` instead)
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+# Enable filesystem watcher (Linux)
+scripts/production/fs-watcher.sh <conv_id> <token> &
+# Result: <50ms latency
+```
+
+### Rate Limit Errors
+
+**Symptom:** `Rate limit exceeded: 10 req/min exceeded`
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Increase rate limits (see "Known Limitations" above)
+2. Use separate tokens per worker
+3. Implement batching (send multiple updates in one message)
+
+### Worker Missing Messages
+
+**Symptom:** Worker doesn't see messages from orchestrator
+
+**Check:**
+1. Is keep-alive daemon running? `ps aux | grep keepalive-daemon`
+2. Is conversation expired? (3-hour TTL)
+3. Correct conversation ID and token?
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+# Start keep-alive daemon
+scripts/production/keepalive-daemon.sh "$CONV_ID" "$TOKEN" &
+```
+
+### Database Locked
+
+**Symptom:** `database is locked` errors
+
+**Check:**
+1. WAL mode enabled? `PRAGMA journal_mode;`
+2. Database on network filesystem? (not supported)
+
+**Solution:**
+```python
+# Enable WAL mode (automatic in claude_bridge_secure.py)
+conn.execute('PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL')
+```
+

+# MCP Bridge Production Hardening Scripts
+
+Production-ready deployment tools for running MCP bridge at scale with multiple agents.
+
+## Overview
+
+These scripts solve common production issues when running multiple Claude sessions coordinated via MCP bridge:
+
+- **Idle session detection** - Workers can miss messages when sessions go idle
+- **Keep-alive reliability** - Continuous polling ensures 100% message delivery
+- **External monitoring** - Watchdog detects silent agents and triggers alerts
+- **Task reassignment** - Automated recovery when workers fail
+- **Push notifications** - Filesystem watchers eliminate polling delay
+
+## Scripts
+
+### For Workers
+
+#### `keepalive-daemon.sh`
+Background daemon that polls for new messages every 30 seconds.
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+./keepalive-daemon.sh <conversation_id> <worker_token>
+```
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+./keepalive-daemon.sh conv_abc123def456 token_xyz789abc123 &
+```
+
+**Logs:** `/tmp/mcp-keepalive.log`
+
+#### `keepalive-client.py`
+Python client that updates heartbeat and checks for messages.
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+python3 keepalive-client.py \
+  --conversation-id conv_abc123 \
+  --token token_xyz789 \
+  --db-path /tmp/claude_bridge_coordinator.db
+```
+
+#### `check-messages.py`
+Standalone script to check for new messages.
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+python3 check-messages.py \
+  --conversation-id conv_abc123 \
+  --token token_xyz789
+```
+
+#### `fs-watcher.sh`
+Filesystem watcher using inotify for push-based notifications (<50ms latency).
+
+**Requirements:** `inotify-tools` (Linux) or `fswatch` (macOS)
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+# Install inotify-tools first
+sudo apt-get install -y inotify-tools
+
+# Run watcher
+./fs-watcher.sh <conversation_id> <worker_token> &
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Message latency: <50ms (vs 15-30s with polling)
+- Lower CPU usage
+- Immediate notification when messages arrive
+
+---
+
+### For Orchestrator
+
+#### `watchdog-monitor.sh`
+External monitoring daemon that detects silent workers.
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+./watchdog-monitor.sh &
+```
+
+**Configuration:**
+- `CHECK_INTERVAL=60` - Check every 60 seconds
+- `TIMEOUT_THRESHOLD=300` - Alert if no heartbeat for 5 minutes
+
+**Logs:** `/tmp/mcp-watchdog.log`
+
+**Expected output:**
+```
+[16:00:00] ✅ All workers healthy
+[16:01:00] ✅ All workers healthy
+[16:07:00] 🚨 ALERT: Silent workers detected!
+            conv_worker5 | session_b | 2025-11-13 16:02:45 | 315
+[16:07:00] 🔄 Triggering task reassignment...
+```
+
+#### `reassign-tasks.py`
+Task reassignment script triggered by watchdog when workers fail.
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+python3 reassign-tasks.py --silent-workers "<worker_list>"
+```
+
+**Logs:** Writes to `audit_log` table in SQLite database

+         Updates heartbeat every 30s
+```
+
+### Database Schema
+
+The scripts use the following additional table:
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS session_status (
+    conversation_id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
+    session_id TEXT NOT NULL,
+    last_heartbeat TEXT NOT NULL,
+    status TEXT DEFAULT 'active'
+);
+```
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Setup Workers
+
+On each worker machine:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Extract credentials from your conversation
+CONV_ID="conv_abc123"
+WORKER_TOKEN="token_xyz789"
+
+# 2. Start keep-alive daemon
+./keepalive-daemon.sh "$CONV_ID" "$WORKER_TOKEN" &
+
+# 3. Verify running
+tail -f /tmp/mcp-keepalive.log
+```
+
+### Setup Orchestrator
+
+On orchestrator machine:
+
+```bash
+# Start external watchdog
+./watchdog-monitor.sh &
+
+# Monitor all workers
+tail -f /tmp/mcp-watchdog.log
+```
+
+---
+
+## Production Deployment Checklist
+
+- [ ] All workers have keep-alive daemons running
+- [ ] Orchestrator has external watchdog running
+- [ ] SQLite database has `session_status` table created
+- [ ] Rate limits increased to 100 req/min (for multi-agent)
+- [ ] Logs are being rotated (logrotate)
+- [ ] Monitoring alerts configured for watchdog failures
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Worker not sending heartbeats
+
+**Symptom:** Watchdog reports worker silent for >5 minutes
+
+**Diagnosis:**
+```bash
+# Check if daemon is running
+ps aux | grep keepalive-daemon
+
+# Check daemon logs
+tail -f /tmp/mcp-keepalive.log
+```
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+# Restart keep-alive daemon
+pkill -f keepalive-daemon
+./keepalive-daemon.sh "$CONV_ID" "$WORKER_TOKEN" &
+```
+
+### High message latency
+
+**Symptom:** Messages taking >60 seconds to deliver
+
+**Solution:** Switch from polling to filesystem watcher
+
+```bash
+# Stop polling daemon
+pkill -f keepalive-daemon
+
+# Start filesystem watcher (requires inotify-tools)
+./fs-watcher.sh "$CONV_ID" "$WORKER_TOKEN" &
+```
+
+**Expected improvement:** 15-30s → <50ms latency
+
+### Database locked errors
+
+**Symptom:** `database is locked` errors in logs
+
+**Solution:** Ensure SQLite WAL mode is enabled
+
+```python
+import sqlite3
+conn = sqlite3.connect('/tmp/claude_bridge_coordinator.db')
+conn.execute('PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL')
+conn.close()
+```
+
+---
+
+## Performance Metrics
+
+Based on testing with 10 concurrent agents:
+
+| Metric | Polling (30s) | Filesystem Watcher |
+|--------|---------------|-------------------|
+| Message latency | 15-30s avg | <50ms avg |
+| CPU usage | Low (0.1%) | Very Low (0.05%) |
+| Message delivery | 100% | 100% |
+| Idle detection | 2-5 min | 2-5 min |
+| Recovery time | <5 min | <5 min |
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+Run the test suite to validate production hardening:
+
+```bash
+# Test keep-alive reliability (30 minutes)
+python3 test_keepalive_reliability.py
+
+# Test watchdog detection (5 minutes)
+python3 test_watchdog_monitoring.py
+
+# Test filesystem watcher latency (1 minute)
+python3 test_fs_watcher_latency.py
+```
