Address a fresh-eye review of the disposal/injection fixes: - disposal now snapshots, clears, and marks disposed BEFORE emitting agent/inbox/discard (mirroring cancel's snapshot→clear→emit), so a re-entrant send/cancel from a discard listener throws 'disposed' or finds an empty inbox instead of leaking or double-discarding an id. The discard is unconditional (even on unpublished setup-rollback) to match send's unconditional enqueue, keeping every id balanced. - restore the turnRecorded guard on the idle-injection flush: a turn/start rejected pre-commit (append reentrancy / internal-dispatch veto) records nothing and owes no flush; the previous unconditional flush emitted a phantom-turn agent/error. The isTurnOpen/turnRecorded branches are reachable (reentrant inject from a session/event listener) and now covered by a regression test rather than v8-ignored. - rewrite the agent/inbox/discard event JSDoc to enumerate all three emitters (cancel, terminal turn-stop, disposal) — every enqueued id gets exactly one terminal dequeue-or-discard. Per-file coverage stays 100%.
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, 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.
