Reconciles the session-surface work (surfaceOp/sourceEventSeqs provenance as the sole derivation path) with master's worktree-subagent series (fork-seed boundary + out-of-process subagent backends). Semantic reconciliations beyond the textual auto-merge: - SQLite SCHEMA_VERSION: both sides bumped 2->3. Merged to a single v3 carrying BOTH column families — master's seed_length on `sessions` and surface's source_event_seqs/surface_op on `events`. writeRow + both INSERT sites bind the full set; the schema doc lists all three added columns as the v2->v3 gap. - agent-loop runStep request: master's `sessionId: session.id` and surface's per-append surfaceOp/sourceEventSeqs coexist (different regions). - Fork seed + surface: a fork seeds the child from the parent's LIVE events, which now carry surfaceOp, so the child's surface rebuilds correctly. Verified end-to-end — the subagent-fork replay recalls the inherited "SAFFRON" codeword through the seeded prefix. - Subagent snapshot fixtures (recorded pre-surface) re-enriched via KEYLESS deterministic replay: only surfaceOp/sourceEventSeqs added onto existing recorded lines (matched by seq), no recorded value changed. Not re-recorded against the live API. Gates: typecheck, test (1112), test:snapshot (14), doc-sync, lint, build, hygiene all green.
core/ — product API spine
The packages every harness build is assembled from: the session log, the system-prompt assembly, the tool registry, the agent vocabulary, and the one concrete loop that drives them. These are product packages — the stable surface plugins and consumers build against.
| Package | Role | ctx key |
|---|---|---|
session/ |
Event-sourced session log + in-memory store | ctx.sessions |
system-prompt/ |
Prompt-section + tool-schema assembly registry | ctx.systemPrompt |
tools/ |
Tool registry + tools/execute waterfall |
ctx.tools |
agent/ |
Agent interface, registry, agent/* event vocabulary |
ctx.agents |
agent-loop/ |
The concrete loop plugin: ReactLoopAgent + the loop driver |
ctx.agentLoop |
agent-core/ |
Bundle plugin: the providerless/executor-less/UI-less spine as code | (loads the spine) |
agent-loop is the one concrete implementation of the agent seam and lives here because it is the harness's default product loop; everything else in core/ is interface/vocabulary. Plugins depend on the agent vocabulary, never on agent-loop directly, so the loop stays swappable.
agent-core is the composition counterpart: one bundle plugin that loads the whole providerless spine (timer + llm + sessions + system-prompt + tools + agents + invariants + tool-bash + agent-loop) and forwards agent-loop's agents list as its own config. App packages (ui/stdio-agent, ui/acp-agent) consume it and add only a front door; a leaf adds only the swappable backends. It lives in core/ because it composes exclusively core/ + interface packages and ships no provider, executor, or UI of its own.
