kingwl 5a8e3a14ee docs(rfc): plan mode to implemented — amendments folded on the way
The proposal survives contact with the code with three amendments, per
the RFCs-are-proposals rule. (1) A mode transition logs a
request/header-delta only when expressible: adding exit_plan_mode
resorts the canonical tool list, and a pure reordering has no delta
form, so entering plan mode logs the full fallback snapshot — the
attributability claim holds either way. (2) The proposed/ skeleton
converts to the implemented grammar: Proposal → Decision, the roadmap's
staging (now history) drops to the standing Deferred list, and
Acceptance criteria + Risks fold into Consequences (what holds, then the
accepted costs, including the ACP v2 mode-removal migration). (3) The
two recorded scenarios stay pending a with-key session, recorded in
Deferred.

The docs tail completes: the cookbook's plan-mode row upgrades from
sketch to the shipped package, architecture.md gains the ctx.modes
capability row (ceiling 1640 → 1650: a new capability service's table
row does not fit the old budget), and every reference repoints to
implemented/.

ui/ — editor/client integration surfaces

Integrations that expose the agent to an external editor or client. These are product packages: a real surface a user drives the harness through.

Package Role ctx key
acp/ Agent Client Protocol bridge: serves the agent to an ACP editor (Zed) over JSON-RPC stdio (drives ctx.agents/ctx.sessions)
user-interaction/ Abstract human question/answer seam used by UI-backed confirmation tools ctx.userInteraction
tool-ask-user/ Model-facing ask_user_question tool over ctx.userInteraction (registers on ctx.tools)
stdio-agent/ Terminal stdio chat APP: the agent-core spine + console logger + readline UI + a pre-created main agent, with a bin (composition + bin)
acp-agent/ ACP server APP: the agent-core spine + JSONL persistence + the acp bridge (no stdout logger), with a bin (composition + bin)
app-boot/ Shared boot glue for the two app bins: .env loading, fail-loud Loader guards, snapshot-aware config resolution, the settle-the-tree boot sequence (library for the bins)

A UI integration is a client-driver plugin, not a loop change and not a capability seam: it consumes the existing agent/* event taxonomy and the dsh-agent factory. The readline UI is the unstructured analogue of the acp bridge and lives INSIDE the stdio app (the stdio-chat module of stdio-agent/): it is scaffolding for that one front door, not an independently swappable integration, so it carries no package boundary of its own.

user-interaction and tool-ask-user live here because asking a human is a UI-backed product affordance, not part of the providerless core spine. The seam remains provider-neutral (ctx.userInteraction), while the tool is the model-facing consumer and the app/bridge packages provide concrete providers.

stdio-agent and acp-agent are the two app packages: each composes the core/agent-core spine with its coupled front-door cluster (and owns the boot bin), so a leaf cordis.yml is the swappable backends plus one app entry plus any optional product tools. They live in ui/ because each IS a user-facing front door; the stdout-purity coupling (logger vs. no logger) becomes a property of the artifact rather than a leaf convention.
