Master advanced from 5143fac7f to be363166e with the Cordis and loader vendor update after the previous PR merge was validated. GitHub therefore tested a new synthetic merge where packages/util/home still selected Cordis rc.6 with loader rc.4 while the updated workspace graph requires Cordis rc.7 with loader rc.5. That stale importer made pnpm-lock.yaml semantically incomplete even though Git merged it without a textual conflict, so every Node, sandbox, and real-API job failed during immutable install before running tests. Merge the exact current master tip and regenerate the lockfile so the home package resolves the same peer graph as the updated workspace. Verified the repaired merge with pnpm install --frozen-lockfile; the full pre-push gate runs on the committed merge before it is published.
core/ — product API spine
The session log, system-prompt assembly, tool registry, agent vocabulary, 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 (scope tags, scope-filtered dispatch) | (library — no ctx key) |
session/ |
Event-sourced session log + in-memory store | ctx.sessions |
system-prompt/ |
Prompt-section + tool-schema assembly registry | ctx.systemPrompt |
tools/ |
Scoped tool registry + pre-policy, guards, around-dispatch, post-policy, and final-result observation | 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 default executor-less/UI-less spine as code | (loads the spine) |
scope/ is the one non-service package here: a dependency-free library (createScope/scopeOf/scopeTarget) the registries and the loop build per-agent scoping on — it sits below session/ and system-prompt/ in the module graph precisely so they can consume it without a cycle.
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 control spine plus selected default capabilities (timer + llm + sessions + system-prompt + tools + agents + invariants + the local skill family + 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 the swappable backends plus any optional product tools it wants to expose. It lives in core/ because it composes the shared control spine while leaving executors, LLM adapters, alternate skill providers, and UI front doors outside the bundle.
