AEX v2.0 - Auto Execution Kernel (Simple Local Dev Profile)

AEX v2.0 is a local-first governance kernel for agent execution with deterministic accounting. This profile is intended for local development users.

Core guarantees:

• budget reserve/commit/release lifecycle per execution_id
• idempotent request replay behavior
• hash-chained ledger events for tamper evidence
• OpenAI-compatible northbound API with provider abstraction southbound

v2.0 Runtime Architecture

Control path:

1. Auth (Bearer token, scope, TTL)
2. Admission (execution_id, rate-limit, policy, route, preflight reserve)
3. Provider dispatch (streaming/non-streaming)
4. Exactly-once settlement (COMMITTED or RELEASED/DENIED/FAILED)
5. Hash-chain event append + metrics projection

Execution states:

• RESERVING -> RESERVED -> DISPATCHED -> COMMITTED
• failure paths: RELEASED, DENIED, FAILED

Active Endpoints (Sorted)

Admin:

• GET /admin/activity
• POST /admin/reload_config
• GET /admin/replay
• GET /dashboard
• GET /health
• GET /metrics

Proxy:

• POST /openai/v1/chat/completions
• POST /openai/v1/embeddings
• POST /openai/v1/responses
• POST /openai/v1/tools/execute
• POST /v1/chat/completions
• POST /v1/embeddings
• POST /v1/responses
• POST /v1/tools/execute

Data Model (v2.0)

Primary tables:

• agents - identity, caps, budget/spend/reserved counters
• executions - idempotent execution identity + terminal cache
• reservations - reserve/commit/release state
• event_log - hash-chained immutable events
• events - compatibility/event metrics stream
• rate_windows - RPM/TPM windows
• tool_plugins - plugin registry

Startup + Recovery

On daemon startup:

• initialize/migrate DB schema
• run integrity checks
• load model/provider config
• reconcile incomplete executions (release stale reservations, fail broken non-terminal flows)

Dashboard (Simple Local Frontend)

v2.0 ships with a simple local frontend connected to backend endpoints:

• GET /health
• GET /metrics
• GET /admin/replay
• GET /admin/activity

Open:

• http://127.0.0.1:9000/dashboard

Quick Start

pip install aex

aex init
aex daemon start

aex agent create my-agent 5.00 30 --allow-passthrough

export OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:9000/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=<AEX_AGENT_TOKEN>
