The mandatory `ctx.agents` service uses Node `AsyncLocalStorage` to carry the initiating Agent. It stores the exact `Agent` directly rather than introducing a one-field frame; the [core-data catalog](../../../core-data-structures/core.md#initiating-agent) identifies the carried type.
The mandatory `ctx.agents` service uses Node `AsyncLocalStorage` to carry the initiating Agent. It stores the exact `Agent` directly rather than introducing a one-field frame; a separate private run token records nested boundary lineage only for teardown bookkeeping and carries no identity. The [core-data catalog](../../../core-data-structures/core.md#initiating-agent) identifies the carried type.
`currentInitiator()` reads optionally, `requireInitiator()` throws `no initiating agent is active`, and `withInitiator(agent, operation)` preserves the operation's exact synchronous value or Promise. `withoutInitiator(operation)` establishes a clearing boundary for work that must not inherit an Agent.

Ambient identity does not replace explicit contracts. `ToolExecution.agent`, `AssembleContext.agent`, `GenerateOptions.sessionId`, task ownership, parent/child requests, `ctx.agent`, `agentCtx.agent`, approval and hook subjects, `cwd` selection, cancellation, worker/process messages, persistence records, and wire identity remain explicit. A remote boundary materializes the identity it needs into its typed request because ALS is process-local.
`AgentRegistry` owns an ordered initiator lifecycle. Teardown first rejects new boundaries; removing `ctx.agents` then drains injected dependents such as AgentLoop, and the registry waits for active returned-Promise boundaries before calling `AsyncLocalStorage.disable()`. `currentInitiator()` and `requireInitiator()` remain usable through a retained in-flight service reference while that drain runs; after disposal, initiator methods throw `agent initiator scope is disposed`. Root Context disposal may start sibling fiber teardown concurrently, so active-boundary counting remains necessary in addition to Cordis dependency ordering.

If a boundary's inherited async chain starts an owning Cordis fiber's unload, the private run-token lineage releases that nested boundary chain from the drain, which prevents teardown from waiting on itself while unrelated boundaries still drain. `currentInitiator()` and `requireInitiator()` remain usable through a retained in-flight service reference while the ordinary drain runs; after disposal, initiator methods throw `agent initiator scope is disposed`.

Initiator scope does not own detached work: registry drain tracks only the Promise returned by `withInitiator()` or `withoutInitiator()`. Asynchronous resources created inside a boundary inherit its store until they settle or ALS is disabled, so their owning seam must stop unreturned work explicitly. Agent-owned foreground work returns its lifetime and keeps its cancellation contract. Unrelated timers, queues, and deployment infrastructure start under `withoutInitiator(operation)`; queue, worker, process, and wire boundaries serialize identity rather than expecting ALS propagation.

Agent service tests pin optional and required reads, exact synchronous and cross-realm Promise identity, overlapping, nested, and cleared boundaries, restoration after throws or rejection, drain ordering, and retained-reference errors. AgentLoop integration pins concurrent and nested drivers, agentless calls, AgentRegistry restart, and root teardown.
