Six verified A-findings from the code-stage review, each with a regression test: - parallel()/pipeline() resolved to HOST arrays inside the vm realm, exposing host Array.prototype to scripts; combinator results are now realm-built (in-realm Array.from bound at context setup). - materializeFromRealm ran proxy traps (ownKeys/getOwnPropertyDescriptor/ getPrototypeOf) during the descriptor walk — realm code on the host stack, outside the vm timeout, escaping as raw errors; proxies (root, nested, and in the prototype position) are now rejected trap-free via util.types.isProxy before any inspection. - an already-aborted signal or an immediate cancel() no longer reports 'completed' for a hook-free script: drive() checks cancellation before running the body and again when the script settles. - dispose() now waits (bounded by disposeGraceMs) for stray agent() children to FINISH disposing, not just for the script to settle: every agent() call is tracked and quiesce() drains the in-flight set. - workflow/* event payloads were live mutable aliases shared across emissions; emitWorkflowEvent now hands each listener its own structural clone. - the structured-output turn-continuation veto is now prepend: true, so an earlier-registered force-continue listener cannot short-circuit it. Docs updated in the same change (READMEs, core-data-structures/workflow.md, the dynamic-workflows RFC, regenerated cordis catalogs).
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/ |
In-process node:vm engine: parses the script, injects the hooks, drives ctx.subagents |
(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 seam split exists for engine hardening: node:vm is in-process and cannot kill a pathological synchronous spin — a worker-thread or isolated-vm engine swaps in behind the same interface if that ever matters.
