+```
+
+### 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**
+- Integrity check: **✅ OK**
+
+---

+
+---
+
+## 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')
+```
+
