Add a README to each group dir (core/llm/bash/session-persistence/ui/ support) stating its role and product-vs-support classification, and rewrite packages/README.md around the hierarchy (group table, grouped "what goes where", removed the package-hierarchy FIXME). Move the package-hierarchy RFC to implemented/architecture/ and rewrite it to describe what shipped (placement rationale, the paths-wildcard and publint dedup, the two new guardrail gates). Fold the remaining tsconfig.build.json references dedup into the discover-package-inventory proposal and fix its cross-link. Update AGENTS.md: regrouped repo-layout map, depth-2 globs, the new verify-package-paths gate in the doc-sync listing, and a note that we lean toward stricter lint in the agentic-coding era (machine-caught errors and a consistent foundation outweigh the one-time cost).
core/ — product API spine
The packages every harness build is assembled from: the session log, the system-prompt assembly, the tool registry, the agent vocabulary, and the one concrete loop that drives them. These are product packages — the stable surface plugins and consumers build against.
| Package | Role | ctx key |
|---|---|---|
session/ |
Event-sourced session log + in-memory store | ctx.sessions |
system-prompt/ |
Prompt-section + tool-schema assembly registry | ctx.systemPrompt |
tools/ |
Tool registry + tools/execute waterfall |
ctx.tools |
agent/ |
Agent interface, registry, agent/* event vocabulary |
ctx.agents |
agent-loop/ |
The concrete loop plugin: ReactLoopAgent + the loop driver |
ctx.agentLoop |
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.
