Bridge
Orbit's inter-instance relay surface for understanding and managing communication between connected Orbit nodes.
What it is
Bridge is the Orbit-facing concept for inter-instance relay between machines in the Multi-Node system. The current spec treats the Bridge panel as a preview surface rather than the core routing engine; prompt routing itself flows through the Multi-Node relay and Node MCP layers. For a new developer, Bridge is best understood as the UI and coordination layer around connected-node communication.
When you would use it
You encounter Bridge when reasoning about how multiple Orbit installs communicate, especially alongside connected machines and relay-backed prompt execution.
Common operations
- Inspecting connected Orbit instances
- Understanding cross-node relay state
- Coordinating remote execution concepts during Multi-Node work
