Agent Backends¶

An agent backend is the runtime family Repowire knows how to install, spawn, resume, and identify.

Current backends¶

Gemini CLI and Antigravity were retired as supported backends. Running repowire setup removes only Repowire-owned legacy entries from their configuration; existing persisted peer rows remain readable as historical data but cannot be spawned or resumed.

Why it exists¶

Backends let Repowire keep display names, peer ids, hook installers, spawn commands, profile args, and resume behavior separate from the human-facing project name. This matters when several same-path or same-name peers are alive at once.
