  description: 'Radicle is a sovereign, peer-to-peer code collaboration stack built on Git. Each Radicle node can run `radicle-httpd`, a lightweight HTTP daemon that exposes a read-oriented JSON API over the node''s local storage: repositories (Radicle Object Bag / COBs), issues, patches, commits, trees, blobs, node info and network statistics. This specification was derived by probing the live public seed node at https://seed.radicle.xyz/api/v1 (radicle-httpd 0.25.0, apiVersion 6.1.0). Read endpoints are public and unauthenticated; write operations on a self-hosted node require a signed session created with the node''s key. Identifiers use Radicle conventions: Repository IDs (`rad:`), Node IDs (`z6Mk...`, a did:key), and DIDs (`did:key:...`).
