Every packages/*/* README now carries a canonical '## Known Limitations and
Deferred Work' section: condensed, evidence-backed bullets for consumer-visible
gaps (unimplemented features, platform caveats, MVP cuts) and consciously
postponed work (TODO/FIXME/XXX markers, RFC deferrals still open). The ten
pre-existing ad-hoc variants ('What is NOT here (TODO)', 'Deferred',
'Limitations (MVP)', 'Known limitations (tracked TODOs)', ...) are normalized
into the canonical heading.
A new doc-sync gate, scripts/verify-readme-limitations.ts, enforces the shape:
exactly one limitations-like heading per package README, byte-equal to the
canonical h2, with at least one bullet; near-miss headings fail so variants
cannot creep back. Packages with genuinely nothing to declare (dsh-brand,
dsh-timeout, dsh-subagent-mock, dsh-app-boot) are whitelisted in the script and
must NOT carry the section; whitelist entries are validated against the scanned
package set so a rename fails loud.
Wired into the doc-sync chain (package.json) and the run-gates doc-sync leaf
set; the standing rule lands in packages/AGENTS.md and the adding-a-package
cookbook; decision record in
docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-10-readme-known-limitations-gate.md
(RFC index regenerated).
Also fixes two stale '(deferred)' markers claiming dsh-compact-basic is
unimplemented (the dsh-compact seam README's package table and the seam's
module doc comment).
support/ — dev/test/example infrastructure
Packages that exist to serve development, testing, and the examples rather than to ship as product API. They are real workspace packages (typed, tested, under the coverage gate), but they carry lower compatibility expectations: they may change or be removed when the development need behind them does, without the deprecation care a product package would warrant.
| Package | Role | ctx key |
|---|---|---|
acp-snapshot/ |
ACP snapshot suite kit: subprocess scenario harness + golden normalizers + the defineAcpSnapshotSuite factory |
(library — imported by example *.snapshot.ts suites) |
invariants/ |
Dev-mode event-contract invariants + session-log freeze | (listens on session/*, agent/*) |
llm-replay/ |
Record/replay adapter: short-circuits llm/stream from a recorded session JSONL (keyless snapshot tests) |
(listens on llm/stream) |
subagent-mock/ |
Scripted SubagentProvider for deterministic seam/tool tests |
(registers on ctx.subagents) |
invariants runs only in dev mode (contract checks, not runtime behavior). llm-replay backs the demos and the snapshot test tier under the per-file coverage gate. acp-snapshot carries the snapshot tier's harness/normalizer/suite machinery so every example's suite is a scenario table over one shared, gate-covered implementation. subagent-mock exercises the real ctx.subagents load path without a model or child agent. A package graduates OUT of support/ into a product group only when it gains documented product consumers.
