Dispatch RequestErrorDecision and CompactionTrigger through explicit discriminant switches. End each closed union with assertNever so new variants fail compilation instead of silently inheriting fail or pressure behavior. This preserves the current retry, fail, pressure, and overflow semantics while aligning the new recovery seams with the repository closed-union contract.
core/ — product API spine
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, registry, 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; everything else in core/ is interface/vocabulary. Plugins depend on the agent vocabulary, 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 + 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.
