The outer ring catches up with the engine swap (the package's own README/JSDoc rode the port commit): - Seam module doc and README name the worker-thread engine as THE implementation, with isolated-vm/separate-process sandboxing as the deferred hardening; the seam service doc states the holder-owned-runs contract (engine-fiber disposal deliberately leaves live runs to their holders). - Seam contract precision: agentsStarted documents the termination-path degradation to the host-observed count; the events section scopes the agent-start/agent-end pair to calls that STARTED a child run; WorkflowRun wording drops the vm-era abandonment language. - The dynamic-workflows RFC is rewritten in place to the shipped mechanism (implemented-RFC rule): why worker threads, the thread's concrete buys, the in-process node:vm first cut recorded under alternatives considered; the tool section describes the usage policy as the tool's own prompt section. - gen-doc-graphs: six workflow/* DYNAMIC_EVENT_DISPATCHERS entries (the catalog no longer claims nothing dispatches them) and the seam-note wording; core-data-structures gains its workflow.md index row; packages/README + AGENTS.md layout line + example cordis.yml comments say worker-thread; catalogs regenerated.

workflow/ — dynamic-workflow capability family
The workflow seam: a model-written JavaScript orchestration script that fans out subagents at scale (phases, structured per-agent results, concurrency caps), modeled on Claude Code's dynamic workflows. A capability seam (see capability seams) in the bash shape: ONE engine implementation per context registers as ctx.workflows; the model-facing tool consumes it.
| Package | Role | ctx key |
|---|---|---|
workflow/ |
Abstract workflow seam: service base class + run vocabulary + workflow/* events |
ctx.workflows |
workflow-vm/ |
node:worker_threads engine: one worker per run; the script's vm context lives inside the worker, agent() bridges to ctx.subagents over the message port |
(provides ctx.workflows) |
tool-workflow/ |
Model-facing workflow tool over ctx.workflows |
(registers on ctx.tools) |
The interface lives at workflow/workflow/. The engine's agent() hook rides the subagent seam (any registered provider; the shipped examples use spawn), and agent({ schema }) rides the structured-output support the in-process backends implement. The worker thread isolates the SCRIPT — the host never blocks on it, and a cancelled run's post-grace termination is real — but it is NOT a security boundary; an isolated-vm/separate-process engine (actual sandboxing) swaps in behind the same interface if that ever matters.
