For 4.x the old PasskeyAgent and AuthorizationAgent will go away. > Also, the daemon/ directory used to contain sample code for a > passkey agent and an authorization agent.

However in the CreatePairedDevice case the agent can't be implemented by anyone else except the caller (since hcid identifies the location of the agent by the unique name of the sender of CreatePairedDevice) so typically it would be a different implementation that the generic agent registered through RegisterAgent. > Any constraints on what this object path contains (for example: "/ > com/frequency-one")?

The agent's path resides in the agents object path hierarchy which is totally independent from hcid's object path hierarchy (since they reside withing two different processes).
