kingwl ef35007d75 feat(approval): the approval seam — one-shot permission decisions over a waterfall of answerers
ctx.approval (dsh-approval): request() dispatches the approval/request
waterfall and always resolves a closed outcome — allowed-once / rejected /
cancelled / unavailable — never rejects; zero listeners fall through to
fail-closed unavailable; abort settles cancelled and discards late answers;
throwing or rogue answerers are contained as unavailable; every ask lands
the log-only approval/asked / approval/decided audit pair. dsh-tools routes
a pre-execute ask through the seam opportunistically (ctx.get) with three
distinct deny reasons, keeping the historical ask→deny degrade when the
seam is absent.

The per-session policy tier, the ACP bridge answerer, and the sandbox
escalation asker are staged follow-ups of the approval-seam RFC.

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/pre-execute/tools/post-execute pipeline 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 the swappable backends plus any optional product tools it wants to expose. It lives in core/ because it composes exclusively core/ + interface packages and ships no provider, executor, or UI of its own.
