| ------------------ | ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `image/jpeg`       | JPEG bytes                         | schema declares width, height, color\_space                                                                  |
| `image/raw`        | packed pixels                      | schema declares format (`rgb8`, `bgr8`, `mono16`, `depth32f`) and stride                                     |
| `audio/pcm`        | PCM samples                        | schema declares rate\_hz, channels, sample\_format                                                           |
| `text/event+json`  | UTF-8 JSON                         | structured events; schema per channel                                                                        |

| `servo/json`       | UTF-8 JSON                         | setpoints: joint targets, twists, wrenches (unit-suffixed fields); agent→world counterpart of `proprio/json` |
| `pointcloud/xyz32` | packed float32 triples             | frame named in schema                                                                                        |

* Payloads MUST validate against the channel's declared modality and schema. `[AWP-MOD-001]`
* Vendor modalities use `x-<vendor>.<name>`; agents ignore channels whose modality they did not declare. `[AWP-MOD-002]`
* New standard modalities are added by RFD (MINOR version bump). `[AWP-MOD-003]`
