+1. `npm install` at the repository root.
+2. `npm start --workspace=agents/hello-agent`, then ask "quais contas vencem
+   em outubro?". The agent calls `list_bills` and answers in reais.
+3. Ask it to pay one of them: it says it has no payment tool and points at the
+   `bills-agent`.
+4. `npm run eval --workspace=agents/hello-agent`: seven adversarial cases and
+   two scenario runs, no key, no network.
+5. `runs/<run-id>/` holds what just happened, every line stamped with who acted.

+# @codespar/agent-core
+
+The primitives every CodeSpar starter-kit agent inherits (spec v5.1.1, section 4): the execution state machine, the approval artifact, the `agent.yaml` manifest, `escalate_above`, `actor`, local state in SQLite, the proof bundle, the rail contract and the two providers.
+
+This package is the decisions. The RUNNER around them — the terminal channel, `codespar-agent start|consent|approve|deny|resume|rerun|reconcile|poll|webhook|check|eval`, the setup that wires this package to an agent directory, and the scenario and adversarial runners — is [`@codespar/agent-runtime`](../agent-runtime), which depends on this one and is what an agent's `package.json` scripts call (#13). Nothing here knows an agent's name.
+
+## The state machine, and what the types do and do not prove
+
+`transition(execution, to, input)` accepts only a `to` that the table in `state-machine.ts` lists for `execution.state`. On a **narrowed** value (`Execution<"drafted">`, `Execution<"executing">`, ...) a transition outside the table is a compile error, and `test/transitions.type-test.ts` keeps that true with `@ts-expect-error` lines that `tsc` refuses to leave unused. An **un-narrowed** `Execution` (the union, which is what a row read back from SQLite is) compiles for any target; the engine narrows with casts at its call sites. So the guard that always holds is the runtime one: `transition()` throws `IllegalTransitionError` on any pair the table does not list, whatever the static type said. The type test proves the table is closed; the runtime check enforces it.
+
+## The one policy, three gates
+
+`ExecutionEngine.policy()` runs at draft, at a human's approval and again immediately before `executing`, inside the transaction that writes the outbox row. Mandate status, allowlist, per-transaction cap, the window cap (counting settled, in flight AND awaiting executions as reservations), `escalate_above` and the artifact's `items_hash` are all re-checked at the last gate. A person's approval satisfies `escalate_above` and nothing else.
+
+## Reconcile never re-dispatches
+
+An execution left in `executing` is looked up on the rail, attempt by attempt. A recorded settled or failed outcome closes it; `in_flight`, `uncertain` or unknown leaves it in `executing` with `reason: rail_uncertain` for a human. The single exception is an outbox row still `pending` (the state changed, no call was ever made): those attempts go out once, under the same ids.
+
+## Stubs
+
+`stubs/mandate-status.ts` (the section 4.7 status source for runs without a key: revocation, pause and the organization kill switch, over the local state.db) and `stubs/rail.ts` (the sandbox rail) are stand-ins for the CI, the scenarios and `rerun`, marked as such. With a test key the engine reads the mandate status from the API instead (`api/mandate-status.ts`, `GET /v1/mandates/{id}`), fail-closed: anything but `active` refuses `executing`, and a read that does not answer is `mandate_status_unavailable`, never "assume active". The approval artifact is signed with a local development key (`approval.ts`); the API does not sign approval lists.
