A restriction was compiled against the global tool layer alone: only global-layer tools were tested against `admits()`, and every chain-layer tool was overlaid unfiltered afterward. That read the exempt set as "the global layer" when what it means is "what this scope registers itself" — two descriptions of the same set only while every model-facing tool sat in the host composition. Moving those rows onto the agent plane separated them. A preset's tools are an ANCESTOR contribution to a joined agent, so a subagent's `toolFilter` stopped constraining anything it was given; and with the global layer empty `restrict()` rejected every name it received as unknown, failing the child outright. With the same tools in the global layer the filter still admits and applies normally, which is what makes this a regression of the move rather than a standing limitation. `view()` now filters everything a scope inherits — the global layer and every ancestor layer on its chain — and exempts only the layer the scope owns. That exemption is load-bearing rather than incidental: the delegation runtime registers a child's `report` and structured-output tools into the child's own layer, and a filter naming the capabilities the child may use must not strip the machinery it answers through. Tool order, and with it prefix-cache reuse, is unchanged: inherited names keep their global-then- ancestor position and own-layer names still come last. The diagnostic said "unknown global tool" while listing what is really the inherited surface; it now names the surface it checks and says why an own-layer name is not restrictable. Fixes #2185
core/ — product API spine
English | 中文
The session log, system-prompt assembly, tool registry, agent vocabulary, deployment-default model selection, and concrete loop that form the harness's default control spine. These are product packages — the stable surface plugins and consumers build against.
| Package | Role | ctx key |
|---|---|---|
scope/ |
Scoped-context registration primitive | library — no ctx key |
session/ |
Event-sourced session log and in-memory store | ctx.sessions |
system-prompt/ |
Prompt and tool-schema assembly registry | ctx.systemPrompt |
tools/ |
Scoped tool registry and execution pipeline | ctx.tools |
agent/ |
Agent interface, registry, and event vocabulary | ctx.agents |
agent-default-model/ |
Default model selection shared by Agent entry points | ctx.agentDefaultModel |
agent-loop/ |
Default concrete agent driver | ctx.agentLoop |
scope supplies the shared scoping primitive. agent owns the public contract, while agent-loop is its default implementation; extension plugins depend on the seam so the driver remains swappable. agent-default-model owns the deployment selection an Agent entry point uses only when a session has no selection of its own.
Runnable compositions belong to examples/agent-spine-demo; this group owns only the swappable spine pieces.
The subsystem reference — the package-by-package loop map, the Agent handle and its delivery/interception contracts — is docs/subsystems/core.md; the default runnable composition is examples/agent-spine-demo.
