Perfect! Now I have a complete understanding of the codebase. Let me provide you with a comprehensive summary.

## Comprehensive Codebase Exploration Report

I've thoroughly explored the agent-spec-code repository. Here's what I found:

### 1. Overall Project Structure

The repository is a collection of Gleam distributed system emulations managed with Jujutsu version control (not Git). It contains:

**Top-level directories:**
- `/Users/apanda/code/agent-spec-code/.claude` - Claude Code configuration and skills
- `/Users/apanda/code/agent-spec-code/kv_store` - A distributed key-value store emulation
- `/Users/apanda/code/agent-spec-code/otp_test` - A peer synchronization test/example project
- `/Users/apanda/code/agent-spec-code/tutorial-vars` - A simple tutorial project for environment variables
- `/Users/apanda/code/agent-spec-code/transcripts` - Previous Claude conversation transcripts
- `/Users/apanda/code/agent-spec-code/.jj` - Jujutsu version control directory

**Key files:**
- `/Users/apanda/code/agent-spec-code/CLAUDE.md` - Project overview and guidelines
- `/Users/apanda/code/agent-spec-code/.claude/settings.local.json` - Claude Code permissions configuration

### 2. KV Store Project (In Depth)

**Location:** `/Users/apanda/code/agent-spec-code/kv_store/`

**Purpose:** A distributed key-value store emulation with client-server architecture.

**Source files:**

- **`/Users/apanda/code/agent-spec-code/kv_store/src/kv_store.gleam`** (Main entry point - 45 lines)
  - Parses command-line arguments for number of clients
  - Starts a single KV server
  - Starts N clients (default 3), all connected to the same server
  - Sends Start message to all clients to begin operations
  - Waits 2 seconds for clients to complete 10 requests each

- **`/Users/apanda/code/agent-spec-code/kv_store/src/kv_store/server.gleam`** (110 lines)
  - Implements the server actor using gleam_otp
  - **State type:** `State(store: Dict(String, String), self: Subject(Message))`
  - **Message types:**
    - `Put(key: String, value: String, reply_with: Subject(OpResult))` - Insert only if key doesn't exist
    - `Get(key: String, reply_with: Subject(Result(String, String)))` - Retrieve value
    - `Delete(key: String, reply_with: Subject(OpResult))` - Remove key
  - **Result types:**
    - `OpOk` - Operation succeeded
    - `OpError(reason: String)` - Operation failed with reason
  - **Semantics:**
    - Put fails if key already exists ("key already exists" error)
    - Get returns value or "key not found" error
    - Delete fails if key doesn't exist
  - **Public API:**
    - `start()` - Creates new server with empty dict
    - `put(server, key, value)` - Blocking call, 1000ms timeout
    - `get(server, key)` - Blocking call, 1000ms timeout
    - `delete(server, key)` - Blocking call, 1000ms timeout

- **`/Users/apanda/code/agent-spec-code/kv_store/src/kv_store/client.gleam`** (118 lines)
  - Implements client actors
  - **State type:** `State(server: Subject(server.Message), remaining: Int, self: Subject(Message))`
  - **Message types:**
    - `Start` - Kick off request loop
    - `Continue` - Internal message for next request
  - **Behavior:**
    - Sends 10 random requests per client
    - Randomly picks between GET and PUT operations (50/50)
    - Randomly selects from 5 possible keys: "a", "b", "c", "d", "e"
    - Random values: "val_0" through "val_99"
    - Logs all operations to console
    - Schedules next request via Continue message
    - Stops after 10 requests
  - **Public API:**
    - `start(server_subject)` - Creates client that will send 10 requests

- **`/Users/apanda/code/agent-spec-code/kv_store/test/kv_store_test.gleam`** (14 lines)
  - Minimal test: only contains a hello_world_test that checks string concatenation

**Dependencies (gleam.toml):**
- `gleam_stdlib >= 0.44.0 and < 2.0.0`
- `gleam_otp >= 1.2.0 and < 2.0.0`
- `gleam_erlang >= 1.3.0 and < 2.0.0`
- `argv >= 1.0.2 and < 2.0.0`
- `gleeunit >= 1.0.0 and < 2.0.0` (dev only)

### 3. OTP Test Project (Example Pattern)

**Location:** `/Users/apanda/code/agent-spec-code/otp_test/`

**Purpose:** Demonstrates peer-to-peer synchronization pattern with multiple servers and clients.

**Architecture:**
- 5 servers with peer registration
- Each server synchronizes with all others every 100ms
- 10 clients (2 per server) sending 100 random messages each
- Servers keep maximum value (monotonic increase only)
- Waits for convergence before completing

**Key pattern:** Server broadcasts state to all peers periodically using `process.send_after()`.

### 4. Tutorial-Vars Project

**Location:** `/Users/apanda/code/agent-spec-code/tutorial-vars/`

**Purpose:** Simple tutorial project demonstrating environment variable access.

**Files:**
- `vars.gleam` - Main entry point with CLI arg parsing
- `vars/internal.gleam` - Formatting utilities
- Dependencies include `envoy` for environment variable access

### 5. Skill Files

Located at `/Users/apanda/code/agent-spec-code/.claude/skills/`:

**`create-emulation.md`**
- Guide for building distributed system emulations in Gleam
- Recommends implementing each process type as a Gleam actor
- Emphasizes code clarity over performance
- Suggests using print statements for execution tracing
- Future: convert to TOML configuration files for node setup
- Uses Jujutsu for version control (this repo uses `.jj` not `.git`)

**`gleam-otp.md`**
- Comprehensive skill for Gleam OTP development
- Project creation commands using `gleam new --skip-git --skip-github`
- Build commands: `gleam build`, `gleam run`, `gleam test`, `gleam format`
- Actor pattern templates with State and Message types
- Key patterns:
  - Fire-and-forget messages using `actor.send()`
  - Request-response using `actor.call()` with timeouts
  - Self-messaging with `process.send_after()`
  - Handler return values: `actor.continue()` and `actor.stop()`
- Common imports and testing with gleeunit
- Peer-to-peer synchronization examples
- Convergence checking patterns

**`jujutsu.md`**
- Jujutsu version control guide (v0.35.0)
- Key concepts: automatic working copy snapshots, change IDs vs commit IDs, @ symbol for current commit
- Common commands: `jj status`, `jj log`, `jj commit`, `jj file track/untrack`
- Useful for history manipulation: `jj squash`, `jj edit`, `jj rebase`
- File operations use `jj file` subcommand (gotcha: no `jj untrack`)

### 6. Paxos/MultiPaxos Search

**Result:** No existing Paxos or MultiPaxos implementations found in the codebase.

### 7. Configuration & Setup

**`.claude/settings.local.json`:**
```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "Bash(gleam run:*)",
      "Bash(gleam build:*)",
      "Bash(jj status:*)",
      "Bash(gleam:*)"
    ]
  }
}
```

**Memory file:** `/Users/apanda/.claude/projects/-Users-apanda-code-agent-spec-code/memory/CLAUDE.md` does not exist yet.

### 8. Key Design Patterns Observed

1. **Actor-based architecture:** All distributed processes are Gleam OTP actors
2. **Message passing:** Synchronous via `actor.call()` and asynchronous via `actor.send()`
3. **State management:** Explicit State types with self-reference for scheduling
4. **Peer registration:** Actors maintain lists of peer Subject references
5. **Periodic synchronization:** Using `process.send_after()` for repeated operations
6. **Convergence patterns:** Polling state across multiple actors until agreement

     2→name: Creating a distributed system emulation
     3→description: This is a recipe for how to build a distributed system emulation in Gleam given a human description. 
     4→
     5→
     6→## Overview
     7→In this environment we use Gleam for emulation. The goal is to produce a version that can be executed and help explain how the protocol (i.e., the algorithm implemented by the system) runs.
     8→
     9→Each type of process (or node or server, I tend to use the same word for all of them) is implemented as a Gleam actor. The Gleam OTP skill that accompanies this can help write the code. Do not try to optimize the code, but be sure to use comments to document the logic of each actor, and use print statements to record the execution of each actor. 
    10→
    11→Once code for all types of processes has been written, change the main function to take a configuration file (in TOML) that specifies how many nodes of each type to start and then runs them to produce an execution schedule.
    12→
    13→Finally, use the appropriate version control system to add a commit for the emulation.
    14→
    15→## Writing a new emulation
    16→
    17→Use instructions from the gleam-otp skill.
    18→
    19→## Version Control
    20→
    21→Check if the root directory contains a `.jj` directory. If so, the project is managed using Jujutsu, and the accompanying jujutsu skill to manage things.
    22→
    23→If on the other hand the root directory contains a `.git` directory (but no `.jj` directory) use git.

    30→```gleam
    31→import gleam/otp/actor
    32→import gleam/erlang/process.{type Subject}
    33→
    34→// 1. Define state type
    35→pub type State {
    36→  State(value: Int, self: Subject(Message))

    43→}
    44→
    45→// 3. Implement handler

    51→      actor.continue(state)
    52→    }
    53→  }
    54→}
    55→
    56→// 4. Start function

    66→}
    67→```
    68→
    69→### Key Patterns
    70→
    71→**Fire-and-forget message:**
    72→```gleam
    73→pub fn set(subject: Subject(Message), value: Int) -> Nil {
    74→  actor.send(subject, Set(value))
    75→}
    76→```
    77→
    78→**Request-response (blocking call):**
    79→```gleam
    80→pub fn get(subject: Subject(Message)) -> Int {
    81→  actor.call(subject, 1000, Get)  // 1000ms timeout
    82→}
    83→```
    84→
    85→**Self-messaging (for periodic tasks):**
    86→```gleam
    87→// In initialiser or handler:
    88→process.send_after(state.self, 100, Sync)  // Send Sync message after 100ms
    89→```
    90→
    91→**Capturing self reference:**
    92→Use `actor.new_with_initialiser` instead of `actor.new` to get access to the actor's own Subject in the initialiser callback.
    93→
    94→### Handler Return Values
    95→
    96→- `actor.continue(new_state)` - Keep running with new state
    97→- `actor.stop()` - Stop the actor gracefully

   199→

Good. Now I have all the information I need. Let me design the complete MultiPaxos KV store emulation.

---

Here is the complete design for the MultiPaxos replicated key-value store emulation.

## Architecture Overview

The design uses three actor types plus a client, keeping roles cleanly separated for educational clarity:

1. **Acceptor** -- Participates in Paxos voting (Phase 1 promise, Phase 2 accept)
2. **Leader** (Proposer + Learner) -- Receives client requests, assigns log slots, drives Paxos rounds, collects quorum responses, applies committed commands to local KV state, and replies to clients
3. **Replica** (Learner-only) -- Receives committed commands from the leader and applies them to a local KV copy (demonstrates replication, but clients only talk to the leader)
4. **Client** -- Same interface as `kv_store/client.gleam` but sends 5 requests and targets the leader

### Why this role split?

- Combining proposer and learner into the leader is natural for MultiPaxos with a stable leader. The leader already knows when a quorum accepts, so it is the first to learn.
- Acceptors are kept as separate actors -- this is the core of Paxos correctness and must be distinct.
- Replicas are passive learners that receive committed commands, making replication visible.
- No leader election is needed (the leader is known and stable), but the leader still runs Phase 1 once at startup to establish its ballot, then Phase 2 per slot.

## File Structure

```
multipaxos_kv/
  gleam.toml
  src/
    multipaxos_kv.gleam          -- main: starts acceptors, leader, replicas, clients
    multipaxos_kv/
      acceptor.gleam             -- Paxos acceptor actor
      leader.gleam               -- Proposer + learner + KV state machine
      replica.gleam              -- Passive learner (applies committed log)
      client.gleam               -- Client actor (5 random requests)
      types.gleam                -- Shared types: Command, Ballot, LogEntry, OpResult
```

## Shared Types (`types.gleam`)

```gleam
import gleam/erlang/process.{type Subject}

/// A ballot number: (round, leader_id) for total ordering
pub type Ballot {
  Ballot(round: Int, leader_id: Int)
}

/// Compare two ballots: returns order.Lt, order.Eq, or order.Gt
pub fn compare_ballots(a: Ballot, b: Ballot) -> order.Order { ... }

/// KV operations that go through the log
pub type Command {
  Put(key: String, value: String)
  Get(key: String)
  Delete(key: String)
  Noop  // Used to fill gaps if needed
}

/// Result type matching kv_store semantics
pub type OpResult {
  OpOk
  OpError(reason: String)
}

/// A client request bundled with its reply channel
pub type ClientRequest {
  PutRequest(key: String, value: String, reply_with: Subject(OpResult))
  GetRequest(key: String, reply_with: Subject(Result(String, String)))
  DeleteRequest(key: String, reply_with: Subject(OpResult))
}

/// A log entry: a command assigned to a slot
pub type LogEntry {
  LogEntry(slot: Int, ballot: Ballot, command: Command)
}
```

## Acceptor Actor (`acceptor.gleam`)

**State:**
```gleam
State(
  id: Int,
  promised_ballot: Option(Ballot),           // Highest ballot promised
  accepted: Dict(Int, #(Ballot, Command)),   // slot -> (ballot, command)
  self: Subject(Message),
)
```

**Messages:**
```gleam
type Message {
  // Phase 1: Prepare request from leader
  Prepare(
    ballot: Ballot,
    reply_with: Subject(PrepareResponse),
  )
  // Phase 2: Accept request from leader
  Accept(
    slot: Int,
    ballot: Ballot,
    command: Command,
    reply_with: Subject(AcceptResponse),
  )
}

type PrepareResponse {
  Promise(accepted: Dict(Int, #(Ballot, Command)))
  PrepareRejected(highest: Ballot)
}

type AcceptResponse {
  Accepted(slot: Int)
  AcceptRejected(slot: Int, highest: Ballot)
}
```

**Logic:**
- `Prepare(ballot, reply_with)`: If `ballot >= promised_ballot`, update `promised_ballot` to `ballot`, reply with `Promise(accepted_entries)`. Otherwise reply `PrepareRejected`.
- `Accept(slot, ballot, command, reply_with)`: If `ballot >= promised_ballot`, update `promised_ballot`, store `(ballot, command)` for the slot, reply `Accepted(slot)`. Otherwise `AcceptRejected`.

## Leader Actor (`leader.gleam`)

**State:**
```gleam
State(
  id: Int,
  ballot: Ballot,
  acceptors: List(Subject(acceptor.Message)),
  replicas: List(Subject(replica.Message)),
  quorum_size: Int,                            // (num_acceptors / 2) + 1
  next_slot: Int,                              // Next available log slot
  log: Dict(Int, Command),                     // Committed log: slot -> command
  pending: Dict(Int, ClientRequest),           // slot -> waiting client request
  store: Dict(String, String),                 // Local KV state machine
  last_applied: Int,                           // Last applied slot
  self: Subject(Message),
)
```

**Messages:**
```gleam
type Message {
  // Client-facing messages (same interface as kv_store/server)
  ClientPut(key: String, value: String, reply_with: Subject(OpResult))
  ClientGet(key: String, reply_with: Subject(Result(String, String)))
  ClientDelete(key: String, reply_with: Subject(OpResult))
  // Internal: Phase 1 response collected
  Phase1Response(response: acceptor.PrepareResponse)
  // Internal: Phase 2 response collected
  Phase2Response(slot: Int, response: acceptor.AcceptResponse)
}
```

**Startup (Phase 1 -- done once):**

In the initialiser (or via a self-sent `Init` message), the leader sends `Prepare(ballot)` to all acceptors and collects `Promise` responses. Once a quorum responds, Phase 1 is complete. For simplicity in this emulation, since we assume a single stable leader and fresh start, Phase 1 will succeed trivially with no previously accepted values.

Implementation approach: The leader uses `actor.call` to each acceptor sequentially during initialization (blocking but simple and educational). Alternatively, fire-and-forget + collect via `Phase1Response` messages. I recommend the simpler sequential approach during init since it happens once.

**Client request flow (Phase 2 -- per slot):**

1. Client calls `leader.put(leader, key, value)` which does `actor.call(leader, 5000, ClientPut(key, value, _))`.
2. Leader receives `ClientPut`, assigns `slot = next_slot`, increments `next_slot`, stores the `ClientRequest` in `pending[slot]`.
3. Leader sends `Accept(slot, ballot, Put(key, value))` to all acceptors (fire-and-forget, with a callback subject that wraps into `Phase2Response`).
4. As `Phase2Response(slot, Accepted)` messages arrive, leader counts. When quorum is reached for that slot:
   a. Store command in `log[slot]`.
   b. Apply all consecutive committed slots starting from `last_applied + 1` to the KV `store`.
   c. Reply to the client with the operation result.
   d. Broadcast `Commit(slot, command)` to all replicas.

**KV state machine application** (same logic as `kv_store/server.gleam`):
- `Put(key, value)`: If key exists, `OpError("key already exists")`. Else insert, `OpOk`.
- `Get(key)`: Return `Ok(value)` or `Error("key not found")`.
- `Delete(key)`: If key exists, delete, `OpOk`. Else `OpError("key not found")`.

**Handling Phase 2 quorum counting:**

The leader needs to track how many acceptors have responded per slot. Add to state:
```gleam
accept_counts: Dict(Int, Int)  // slot -> number of Accepted responses received
```

A key detail: to route Phase2Response back to the leader with the slot number, the leader creates a temporary `process.Subject` using `process.new_subject()` on the leader's process, then uses a selector or simply includes the slot in the response. The cleaner approach for this emulation: the leader sends accepts as fire-and-forget and uses `process.send(self, Phase2Response(slot, response))` by having the acceptor reply to a callback that the leader wraps. 

Actually, the simplest approach: make the Accept call synchronous from the leader (call each acceptor with `actor.call`), but do it in a helper that sends to all and counts. Since this is an emulation, the sequential approach per acceptor is fine and avoids complex async quorum tracking.

**Recommended simplified flow for Phase 2:**

```
fn run_phase2(state, slot, command, acceptors, quorum_size) -> Bool {
  // Send Accept to each acceptor, count successes
  let accepted_count = list.fold(acceptors, 0, fn(count, acc) {
    case actor.call(acc, 1000, acceptor.Accept(slot, state.ballot, command, _)) {
      acceptor.Accepted(_) -> count + 1
      _ -> count
    }
  })
  accepted_count >= quorum_size
}
```

This keeps the code simple and linear. The leader handles one client request at a time (serialized through the actor mailbox), runs Phase 2 synchronously, then replies. This is correct for MultiPaxos since the leader sequences commands anyway.

**Public API functions** (matching `kv_store/server` interface):
```gleam
pub fn put(leader: Subject(Message), key: String, value: String) -> OpResult {
  actor.call(leader, 5000, ClientPut(key, value, _))
}

pub fn get(leader: Subject(Message), key: String) -> Result(String, String) {
  actor.call(leader, 5000, ClientGet(key, _))
}

pub fn delete(leader: Subject(Message), key: String) -> OpResult {
  actor.call(leader, 5000, ClientDelete(key, _))
}
```

## Replica Actor (`replica.gleam`)

**State:**
```gleam
State(
  id: Int,
  log: Dict(Int, Command),
  store: Dict(String, String),
  last_applied: Int,
  self: Subject(Message),
)
```

**Messages:**
```gleam
type Message {
  Commit(slot: Int, command: Command)
}
```

**Logic:**
- On `Commit(slot, command)`: Store in log, apply all consecutive slots from `last_applied + 1` to `store`. Print the state changes.

## Client Actor (`client.gleam`)

Nearly identical to `kv_store/client.gleam` but:
- Sends 5 requests instead of 10
- Takes a `Subject(leader.Message)` instead of `Subject(server.Message)`
- Calls `leader.put`, `leader.get`, `leader.delete` instead of `server.put`, etc.

## Main (`multipaxos_kv.gleam`)

```gleam
pub fn main() -> Nil {
  let num_acceptors = 3  // Could come from args/config
  let num_replicas = 2
  let num_clients = 3

  // 1. Start acceptors
  let acceptors = list.range(1, num_acceptors) |> list.map(fn(i) {
    let assert Ok(a) = acceptor.start(i)
    io.println("Started acceptor " <> int.to_string(i))
    a
  })

  // 2. Start replicas
  let replicas = list.range(1, num_replicas) |> list.map(fn(i) {
    let assert Ok(r) = replica.start(i)
    io.println("Started replica " <> int.to_string(i))
    r
  })

  // 3. Start leader (runs Phase 1 during init)
  let assert Ok(leader) = leader.start(1, acceptors, replicas)
  io.println("Started leader (Phase 1 complete)")

  // 4. Start clients, all pointing to leader
  let clients = list.range(1, num_clients) |> list.map(fn(i) {
    let assert Ok(c) = client.start(leader)
    io.println("Started client " <> int.to_string(i))
    c
  })

  // 5. Kick off clients
  list.each(clients, fn(c) { process.send(c, client.Start) })

  // 6. Wait for completion
  process.sleep(3000)
  io.println("Done")
}
```

## Message Flow Diagram

```
Client --[ClientPut/Get/Delete]--> Leader
                                     |
                          (assigns slot N)
                                     |
Leader --[Accept(slot=N, ballot, cmd)]--> Acceptor 1
Leader --[Accept(slot=N, ballot, cmd)]--> Acceptor 2  
Leader --[Accept(slot=N, ballot, cmd)]--> Acceptor 3
                                     |
          (waits for quorum of Accepted responses)
                                     |
Leader: applies command to local KV store
Leader --[reply]--> Client
Leader --[Commit(slot=N, cmd)]--> Replica 1
Leader --[Commit(slot=N, cmd)]--> Replica 2
```

## Key Design Decisions

1. **Synchronous Phase 2 within the leader's message handler**: Since the leader processes one message at a time (actor mailbox serialization), calling acceptors synchronously with `actor.call` during `ClientPut/Get/Delete` handling is simple and correct. This avoids complex async quorum tracking while still demonstrating the Paxos accept/accepted exchange.

2. **Phase 1 done once at startup**: The leader runs prepare/promise in its initialiser. With a stable leader assumption, this is done once and succeeds immediately.

3. **Replicas are passive learners**: They receive committed commands from the leader. This shows replication without complicating the consensus path. In a real system, replicas could also be acceptors or serve reads.

4. **Types in a shared module**: `types.gleam` holds `Command`, `Ballot`, `OpResult`, and `ClientRequest` so that all modules can reference them without circular dependencies.

5. **GET goes through the log**: For linearizability, even reads are assigned a slot and go through consensus. This is correct MultiPaxos behavior (though a real system might optimize reads).

6. **Client interface matches kv_store**: `leader.put`, `leader.get`, `leader.delete` have the same signatures and semantics as `server.put`, `server.get`, `server.delete`.

## Implementation Sequence

1. Create project: `gleam new --skip-git multipaxos_kv`, add dependencies
2. Write `types.gleam` -- shared types
3. Write `acceptor.gleam` -- Phase 1 and Phase 2 logic
4. Write `leader.gleam` -- the core: Phase 1 init, Phase 2 per request, KV state machine, client API
5. Write `replica.gleam` -- passive learner
6. Write `client.gleam` -- adapted from kv_store client (5 requests)
7. Write `multipaxos_kv.gleam` -- main wiring
8. Build, test, format

### Critical Files for Implementation

     1→# MultiPaxos Replicated KV Store Emulation
     2→
     3→## Context
     4→The project needs a new emulation that replicates the existing `kv_store` using MultiPaxos consensus. This demonstrates how a distributed consensus protocol can be used to replicate state across multiple nodes while preserving the same client-facing semantics (put fails if key exists, get returns value or error, delete fails if key missing). The client is given a Subject pointing to the leader directly (no leader discovery).
     5→
     6→## Architecture
     7→
     8→Three actor types + client:
     9→
    10→1. **Acceptor** - Paxos voting participant (prepare/promise, accept/accepted)
    11→2. **Leader** (proposer + learner + state machine) - Receives client requests, assigns log slots, runs Paxos Phase 2, applies committed commands to local KV store, replies to clients, broadcasts commits to replicas
    12→3. **Replica** (passive learner) - Receives committed commands from leader, applies to local KV copy
    13→4. **Client** - Same as `kv_store/client.gleam` but 5 requests, targeting leader
    14→
    15→### Message Flow
    16→```
    17→Client --[ClientPut/Get/Delete]--> Leader
    18→  Leader assigns slot N
    19→  Leader --[Accept(slot N, ballot, cmd)]--> all Acceptors (synchronous calls)
    20→  Leader waits for quorum of Accepted responses
    21→  Leader applies command to local KV store
    22→  Leader --[reply]--> Client
    23→  Leader --[Commit(slot N, cmd)]--> all Replicas
    24→```
    25→
    26→### Key Design Decisions
    27→- **Phase 1 once at startup**: Leader runs prepare/promise during init. With stable leader assumption, succeeds immediately.
    28→- **Synchronous Phase 2**: Leader calls acceptors sequentially with `actor.call` during request handling. Simple, correct, educational.
    29→- **GETs go through the log**: For linearizability, reads are also assigned slots and go through consensus.
    30→- **Replicas are passive**: They receive committed commands for demonstration of replication.

    48→## Implementation Steps
    49→
    50→### 1. Create project
    51→```sh
    52→cd /Users/apanda/code/agent-spec-code
    53→gleam new --skip-git --skip-github multipaxos_kv
    54→cd multipaxos_kv
    55→gleam add gleam_otp gleam_erlang argv
    56→```
    57→
    58→### 2. `types.gleam` - Shared types
    59→- `Ballot(round: Int, leader_id: Int)` with comparison function
    60→- `Command` = `Put(key, value)` | `Get(key)` | `Delete(key)` | `Noop`
    61→- `OpResult` = `OpOk` | `OpError(reason: String)`
    62→
    63→### 3. `acceptor.gleam` - Paxos acceptor
    64→- **State**: `id`, `promised_ballot: Option(Ballot)`, `accepted: Dict(Int, #(Ballot, Command))`, `self`
    65→- **Messages**: `Prepare(ballot, reply_with)`, `Accept(slot, ballot, command, reply_with)`
    66→- **Responses**: `Promise(accepted_entries)` | `PrepareRejected(highest)`, `Accepted(slot)` | `AcceptRejected(slot, highest)`
    67→- Logic: standard Paxos prepare/accept with ballot comparison
    68→
    69→### 4. `leader.gleam` - Core logic (most complex file)
    70→- **State**: `id`, `ballot`, `acceptors`, `replicas`, `quorum_size`, `next_slot`, `log: Dict(Int, Command)`, `store: Dict(String, String)`, `last_applied`, `self`
    71→- **Client messages**: `ClientPut(key, value, reply_with)`, `ClientGet(key, reply_with)`, `ClientDelete(key, reply_with)` - same signatures as `kv_store/server`
    72→- **Init**: Run Phase 1 (prepare) to all acceptors, collect promises
    73→- **Request handling**: Assign slot, run Phase 2 synchronously (call each acceptor), on quorum: commit to log, apply to store, reply to client, broadcast to replicas
    74→- **Public API**: `put(leader, key, value)`, `get(leader, key)`, `delete(leader, key)` matching `kv_store/server` signatures
    75→- **KV semantics**: Identical to `kv_store/server.gleam` (put rejects existing keys, delete rejects missing keys)
    76→
    77→### 5. `replica.gleam` - Passive learner
    78→- **State**: `id`, `log: Dict(Int, Command)`, `store: Dict(String, String)`, `last_applied`, `self`
    79→- **Message**: `Commit(slot: Int, command: Command)`
    80→- Applies committed commands in log order to local store, prints state changes
    81→
    82→### 6. `client.gleam` - Adapted from kv_store
    83→- Same structure as `kv_store/client.gleam`
    84→- 5 requests instead of 10
    85→- Targets `Subject(leader.Message)` instead of `Subject(server.Message)`
    86→- Calls `leader.put`, `leader.get` (and optionally `leader.delete`)
    87→- Same random key pool ["a","b","c","d","e"], same random values
    88→
    89→### 7. `multipaxos_kv.gleam` - Main
    90→- Start 3 acceptors, 2 replicas, 1 leader, N clients (default 3)
    91→- Parse num_clients from CLI args
    92→- Send Start to all clients, sleep 3s
    93→
