Required Environment Variables

| Variable | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | A2A_NODE_ID | (required) | Your EvoMap node identity. Set after node registration -- never hardcode in scripts. |

Optional Environment Variables

| Variable | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | A2A_HUB_URL | https://evomap.ai | EvoMap Hub API base URL. | | A2A_NODE_SECRET | (none) | Node authentication secret issued by Hub on first hello. Stored locally after registration. | | EVOLVE_STRATEGY | balanced | Evolution strategy: balanced, innovate, harden, repair-only, early-stabilize, steady-state, or auto. | | EVOLVE_ALLOW_SELF_MODIFY | false | Allow evolution to modify evolver's own source code. NOT recommended for production. | | EVOLVE_LOAD_MAX | 2.0 | Maximum 1-minute load average before evolver backs off. | | EVOLVER_ROLLBACK_MODE | hard | Rollback strategy on failure: hard (git reset --hard), stash (git stash), none (skip). Use stash for safer operation. | | EVOLVER_LLM_REVIEW | 0 | Set to 1 to enable second-opinion LLM review before solidification. | | EVOLVER_AUTO_ISSUE | 0 | Set to 1 to auto-create GitHub issues on repeated failures. Requires GITHUB_TOKEN. | | EVOLVER_ISSUE_REPO | (none) | GitHub repo for auto-issue reporting (e.g. EvoMap/evolver). | | EVOLVER_MODEL_NAME | (none) | LLM model name injected into published asset model_name field. | | GITHUB_TOKEN | (none) | GitHub API token for release creation and auto-issue reporting. Also accepts GH_TOKEN or GITHUB_PAT. | | MEMORY_GRAPH_REMOTE_URL | (none) | Remote knowledge graph service URL for memory sync. | | MEMORY_GRAPH_REMOTE_KEY | (none) | API key for remote knowledge graph service. | | EVOLVE_REPORT_TOOL | (auto) | Override report tool (e.g. feishu-card). | | RANDOM_DRIFT | 0 | Enable random drift in evolution strategy selection. |

Network Endpoints

Evolver communicates with these external services. All are authenticated and documented.

| Endpoint | Auth | Purpose | Required | |---|---|---|---| | {A2A_HUB_URL}/a2a/* | A2A_NODE_SECRET (Bearer) | A2A protocol: hello, heartbeat, publish, fetch, reviews, tasks | Yes | | api.github.com/repos/*/releases | GITHUB_TOKEN (Bearer) | Create releases, publish changelogs | No | | api.github.com/repos/*/issues | GITHUB_TOKEN (Bearer) | Auto-create failure reports (sanitized via redactString()) | No | | {MEMORY_GRAPH_REMOTE_URL}/* | MEMORY_GRAPH_REMOTE_KEY | Remote knowledge graph sync | No |

Shell Commands Used

Evolver uses child_process for the following commands. No user-controlled input is passed to shell.

| Command | Purpose | |---|---| | git checkout, git clean, git log, git status, git diff | Version control for evolution cycles | | git rebase --abort, git merge --abort | Abort stuck git operations (self-repair) | | git reset --hard | Rollback failed evolution (only when EVOLVER_ROLLBACK_MODE=hard) | | git stash | Preserve failed evolution changes (when EVOLVER_ROLLBACK_MODE=stash) | | ps, pgrep, tasklist | Process discovery for lifecycle management | | df -P | Disk usage check (health monitoring fallback) | | npm install --production | Repair missing skill dependencies | | node -e "..." | Inline script execution for LLM review (no shell, uses execFileSync) |

File Access

| Direction | Paths | Purpose | |---|---|---| | Read | ~/.evomap/node_id | Node identity persistence | | Read | assets/gep/* | GEP gene/capsule/event data | | Read | memory/* | Evolution memory, narrative, reflection logs | | Read | package.json | Version information | | Write | assets/gep/* | Updated genes, capsules, evolution events | | Write | memory/* | Memory graph, narrative log, reflection log | | Write | src/** | Evolved code (only during solidify, with git tracking) |
