imccyu 6f77da4c8c refactor: relocate demo app bundles to packages/examples/*-demo
Move the agent-spine bundle and the stdio/ACP/JSON-RPC app packages out of
core/ and ui/ into a new packages/examples/ group, renamed with a -demo
suffix so the npm name marks them as non-product surface:

  core/agent-core   -> examples/agent-spine-demo  (dsh-agent-spine-demo)
  ui/stdio-agent    -> examples/stdio-demo        (dsh-stdio-demo)
  ui/acp-agent      -> examples/acp-demo          (dsh-acp-demo)
  ui/jsonrpc-agent  -> examples/jsonrpc-demo      (dsh-jsonrpc-demo)

Update every code/config/test reference and reference-only doc mentions, and
regenerate module-graph, config-catalog, and doc-graphs. The jsonrpc bin
(dsh-jsonrpc-agent) and single-file exe (dsh-jsonrpc-agent-pkg) keep their
names; the SDK runtime-startup surface is reconciled separately.

# RFC: Make the shared example base providerless
Status: rejected — superseded by [Extract example apps into packages](../../implemented/architecture/2026-06-20-extract-example-app-packages.md), which moves the spine into a `dsh-agent-spine-demo` bundle and deletes the `base*.yml` files, so there is no shared base YAML left to rename.
## Problem
The examples had two shared base files: `examples/base-core.yml` was providerless, while `examples/base.yml` included that core plus the real `llm-deepseek` adapter. Snapshot replay needs the providerless core with `llm-replay`, because loading the real adapter without a key throws. The normal demos need the real adapter. The result was a naming inversion: the file named `base.yml` was not the reusable base for all examples, while the true base was `base-core.yml`.
The split was understandable, but it made every config explanation longer. It also led to awkward test setup like a keyless smoke test carrying a dummy API key so an adapter could boot even though the model is not called.
## Proposal
Rename the providerless core to `examples/base.yml` and make adapter selection explicit in each concrete example. The coding and ACP real configs add a tiny `llm-deepseek` include or local block; snapshot config adds `llm-replay`. Delete `examples/base-core.yml`.
The shared base should contain only provider-neutral services and tools: `llm`, sessions, system prompt, tools, agents, invariants, bash executor, and bash tool schemas. Anything that chooses a model provider belongs at the leaf config.
## Acceptance criteria
- `examples/base.yml` is providerless.
- `examples/base-core.yml` is deleted.
- Real demo configs explicitly add the DeepSeek adapter.
- Snapshot replay config includes the same providerless base and its replay adapter.
- The [examples README](../../../../examples/README.md), example-specific READMEs, and RFC references stop explaining "base = base-core plus adapter".
## What we give up
Real demos lose one layer of convenience: each must opt into the adapter. That is the right default for examples, because adapter choice is the variable part and providerless wiring is the shared product core.
