New doc-sync gate verify-export-jsdoc walks every module-level exported name under packages/*/*/src and requires description prose everywhere, plus @param per parameter and @returns on non-void annotated returns for function-like exports, public class methods, properties, and accessors. The parsing + check helpers move out of gen-cordis-catalog.ts into a shared scripts/jsdoc.ts so 'documented' means one thing on both gated surfaces. Deliberate exemptions (documented in the RFC): heritage-declared class members (the seam declaration is the doc's one home — the one checker query in an otherwise pure-AST walk), cordis plugin-protocol slots (name/inject/reusable/Config/apply, top-level and static), constructors, overload implementations, declare-module augmentation bodies, and re-export statements (checked at the defining module). The 203 under-documented exports the gate found at adoption are filled in this change, so the gate lands green; generated catalogs/graphs are regenerated for the shifted line pointers.

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/pre-execute/tools/post-execute pipeline |
ctx.tools |
agent/ |
Agent interface, registry, agent/* event vocabulary |
ctx.agents |
agent-loop/ |
The concrete loop plugin: ReactLoopAgent + the loop driver |
ctx.agentLoop |
agent-core/ |
Bundle plugin: the providerless/executor-less/UI-less spine as code | (loads the spine) |
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.
agent-core is the composition counterpart: one bundle plugin that loads the whole providerless spine (timer + llm + sessions + system-prompt + tools + agents + invariants + tool-bash + agent-loop) and forwards agent-loop's agents list as its own config. App packages (ui/stdio-agent, ui/acp-agent) consume it and add only a front door; a leaf adds the swappable backends plus any optional product tools it wants to expose. It lives in core/ because it composes exclusively core/ + interface packages and ships no provider, executor, or UI of its own.
