[Layer 6] Sketch a bounded counter-offer (multi-round) extension #5

Description

@marc-poljak

Context. Layer 6 § Open Questions: counter-offers are open. v0.1 negotiation is deliberately single-round for machine-speed (P2). A bounded multi-round extension (e.g. exactly one counter) may be worth it for high-value tasks.

Your task. Propose a concrete shape:

  • A new message (acmp/counter_offer?) or a field on the existing offer response?
  • How is the round count bounded so it can't loop forever?
  • How does it degrade to single-round for agents that don't support it (P5 — incremental adoptability)?

Done = an issue comment or a PR to Layer 6 sketching the message and its bound.
