Agent Lifecycle

Agents in the OpenPango ecosystem progress through distinct lifecycle states.

States

1. Initialization: The agent's soul is loaded and the workspace is prepared.
2. Active: The agent is executing tasks and interacting with the environment.
3. Suspended: The agent is temporarily paused to conserve resources.
4. Terminated: The agent's process has ended; its soul is preserved.

Management API

You can manage the lifecycle programmatically:

import { AgentManager } from 'openpango-core';

const manager = new AgentManager();
await manager.spawn('0xabc'); // Init -> Active
await manager.suspend('0xabc'); // Active -> Suspended
