+ * One entry per row in `eai_agents` (migration 086) -- `key` is the DB's own
+ * identity (case-folded by `resolve()`), and `description`/`responsibilities`
+ * are this launcher's, written for what OpenCode shows as a real agent.
+ *
+ * These files ARE the agent mechanism now. The `/eais <key>` command that
+ * used to activate an agent for a session is gone: OpenCode already selects
+ * a primary agent with Tab and reaches a subagent by `@mention`, and a second
+ * Elliot-specific activation path could only disagree with it.
+ *
+ * `mode` is a deliberate per-agent product choice, not derived from anything
+ * -- `dev`/`qa`/`devops`/`security` are `primary` (selectable with Tab, like
+ * `build`/`plan`); `governance`/`architecture`/`data`/`ai`/`product` are
+ * `subagent` (reachable by `@mention` or the `task` tool, like the built-in
+ * `general`/`explore`). Both are equally native; `agentMarkdown` just writes
+ * whichever this entry names.
+ *
+ * NOT fetched from the backend at setup time. The agent CATALOGUE (these nine
+ * rows) changes on the order of a migration, not a sync -- unlike skill
+ * MEMBERSHIP, which `eai_agent_disciplines` resolves fresh on every read
+ * specifically because it changes on every sync. Hardcoding the skill LIST
+ * each agent would reach is exactly what this file must never do (see
+ * agent_skills()'s own docstring); hardcoding which NINE agent roles exist is
+ * not that -- it is the same kind of static authorship as `dev`'s own prompt
+ * body, which this list simply extends to the other eight.
+ *
+ * `key` here must keep matching `eai_agents.key`, or `opencode agent
+ * list`/Tab-cycle and SKILLS.md would name the same agent differently --
+ * confusing rather than merely wrong.
+ *
+ * NOTHING ABOUT THE CATALOGUE IS HARDCODED HERE. The first cut of this
+ * feature put the nine keys, their descriptions AND their primary/subagent
+ * split in a JS list in this file -- repeating, in the launcher, the exact
+ * mistake migration 086 exists to stop for skill MEMBERSHIP: a second, stored
+ * copy of a fact that drifts from its own source of truth the moment either
+ * side changes without the other. `eai_agents` (`mode` added by migration
+ * 087) already owns all of it. `/onboarding/config/{tenant_id}` now returns
+ * it as `eai_agents` -- the exact rows `services/skills_catalogue/agents.py
+ * ::list_agents` resolves, the same call `eai_agents_list` makes -- and this
+ * file only turns whatever that response says into Markdown. An admin
+ * disabling an agent, moving one between primary and subagent, or a future
+ * tenth agent all take effect on the next `eai setup`, no launcher release.

+ * One EAI agent's Markdown definition, from one row of the backend's live
+ * `eai_agents` response (`{key, name, description, mode, skill_count}`).
+ *
+ * OpenCode discovers a primary agent three ways: a built-in (`build`, `plan`,
+ * `general`), an `agent.<name>` entry in opencode.json, or a Markdown file
+ * under `agent/` or `agents/` in any directory it scans for config — which
+ * INCLUDES the global config directory (`~/.config/opencode`, the same one
+ * `writeOpencodeConfig` already writes into) alongside any per-project
+ * `.opencode/`. `opencode agent create --global` writes exactly here, so this
+ * is the sanctioned location, not a guess: `~/.config/opencode/agents/<key>.md`.
+ *
+ * `agent.mode` decides WHICH of two native mechanisms an agent uses, not
+ * whether it is native: `primary` is what makes it show up next to
+ * `build`/`plan` in the TUI's own agent list and Tab-cycle (`agent.cycle` in
+ * opencode/packages/tui/src/config/keybind.ts); `subagent` is what makes it
+ * reachable by `@mention` and the `task` tool instead, the same way the
+ * built-in `general`/`explore` subagents are -- still a real, natively
+ * discovered agent, just invoked rather than switched to. This file writes
+ * whichever the backend says for this agent; it does not decide.
+ *
+ * No `model` field, regardless of mode. The schema (`ConfigAgentV1.Info`)
+ * makes it optional for exactly this case: an agent with no model inherits
+ * whatever the session's own default is, so this file never pins a
+ * vendor-specific model id that would drift from `provider.elliot`'s own
+ * configured models.

+ * `agent.description` -- not nine hand-written prompts. Authoring nine
+ * separate bodies would mean the one EAI-specific thing about them (which
+ * role each performs) living only in this file, invisible to and unverified
+ * against the backend's own `description` for that same agent; the generic
