[Contributor Request] We hit 10k+ nodes on a local-first P2P mesh - Seeking help to scale the "Sovereign Workhorse"

Resource Request

We hit 1,200+ stars and 10,000+ nodes in just under a month, but we're finding the bigger the mesh, the more maintenance it requires.

Bitterbot a local-first personal AI with biological memory, a dream engine, and a P2P skills economy.

But at this point we really welcome additional sets of eyes to audit the code, review the issues, and contribute to this sovereign network. We're a small team.

Why contribute?

  • Real Scale: 10k+ nodes aren't a prototype...this now proves a functioning network.
  • Deep Tech: We aren't a wrapper. We’re working on hormonal modulation for agent memory and P2P skill trading.
  • Low Friction: We have a one-command dev setup and a high-velocity PR review cycle.

Specific Needs:

  • Cross-Platform Support: Our mesh is growing fast, but our CI is currently Linux-only. If you’re a GitHub Actions wizard, we need your help expanding our build matrix to macOS and Windows.

  • Security & Red-Teaming: We’re hardening our P2P layer. We need experts to help audit our capability sandboxing and implement prompt-injection scanning for ingested skills.

  • Project Infrastructure: As we scale toward 50k nodes, we need to stabilize the contributor pipeline. We're looking for help setting up Issue Templates and Typechecking for the desktop renderer.

We're close to a one-command dev setup readiness.

I'll drop the repo in a comment below.

Fingers crossed I don't get downvoted into oblivion. This is the nicest and most diplomatic sub of the bunch in my experience...:)
