Three ordering fixes on the admission and settlement boundaries. kick() installs the abort owner, marks the interval busy (running is emitted before any listener can observe the claim), and installs the pending done BEFORE publishing agent/inbox/dequeue: a dequeue listener that cancels or disposes now finds live cancellation and quiescence ownership instead of the previous activity's settled state, and claimed prompt admission — including asynchronous prompt-submit hooks — sits inside the running interval where cancel routing can reach it. The admission-rejected path yields one microtask before continueOrIdle so the idle transition cannot fire inside send()'s synchronous extent. agent/idle now names only committed turns: a run that aborts or fails before its turn/start commits exits without the notification, since there is no durable turn/end for settlement consumers to act against. The event's JSDoc states the narrowed contract.
core/ — product API spine
English | 中文
The session log, system-prompt assembly, tool registry, agent vocabulary, and concrete loop that form the harness's default control spine. These are product packages — the stable surface plugins and consumers build against.
| Package | Role | ctx key |
|---|---|---|
scope/ |
Scoped-context registration primitive (scope tags, scope-filtered dispatch) | (library — no ctx key) |
session/ |
Event-sourced session log + in-memory store | ctx.sessions |
system-prompt/ |
Prompt-section + tool-schema assembly registry | ctx.systemPrompt |
tools/ |
Scoped tool registry + pre-policy, guards, around-dispatch, post-policy, and final-result observation | ctx.tools |
agent/ |
Agent interface, live registry, process-local initiator scope, agent/* event vocabulary |
ctx.agents |
agent-loop/ |
Concrete plugin implementing the public Agent contract and owning the loop driver |
ctx.agentLoop |
scope/ is the one non-service package here: a dependency-free library (createScope/scopeOf/scopeTarget) the registries and the loop build per-agent scoping on — it sits below session/ and system-prompt/ in the module graph precisely so they can consume it without a cycle.
agent-loop is the one concrete implementation of the agent seam and lives here because it is the harness's default product loop. It runs each driver inside ctx.agents.withInitiator(). Extension plugins depend on agent, including when they need the initiating Agent, and never on agent-loop directly, so the loop stays swappable.
The default composition that wires this spine into a runnable agent lives in examples/agent-spine-demo: one bundle plugin that loads the control spine plus selected default capabilities (timer + llm + sessions + fallback session titles + system-prompt + tools + agents + invariants + the local skill family + tool-bash + workspace-context + agent-loop) and forwards agent-loop's agents list as its own config. It sits in examples/ — ready-to-run demo/reference bundles — not in core/: core/ ships the swappable spine pieces, while a demo bundle picks one concrete composition of them and adds a front door.
