# Agent Protocol — How Agents Communicate

Agents do not directly call each other. They communicate via:
1. **Shared Registers** — read-only after Phase 2 for every agent EXCEPT A02.
   A02 retains sole write authority and may amend registers post-gate in two
   cases: (a) a `correct:` / `continue with:` reply at the Phase 3 gate, and
   (b) a Phase-4 `A02 → All` re-link HANDOFF (e.g., backfilling a `UX-NNN`
   entry a cross-layer test relies on — see A02 Rule 6). No other agent writes.
2. **Coverage Ledger** — append-only across the run
3. **Handoff Messages** — declared in each agent's charter
4. **Orchestrator routing** — the Orchestrator marshals dispatch
