-## Detailed Setup
-
-> The `npm i -g @kodax-ai/kodax` one-liner above is the fastest path. This section is for building from source, configuring custom providers, or using KodaX as a library.
-
-### 1. Build the CLI from source
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/icetomoyo/KodaX.git
-cd KodaX
-npm install
-npm run build
-npm link
-```
-
-### 2. Configure a provider
-
-KodaX reads API keys from environment variables. For built-in providers, the fastest path is:
-
-```bash
-# macOS / Linux
-export ZHIPU_API_KEY=your_api_key
-
-# PowerShell
-$env:ZHIPU_API_KEY="your_api_key"
-```
-
-For CLI defaults, create `~/.kodax/config.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "provider": "zhipu-coding",
-  "reasoningMode": "auto"
-}
-```
-
-If you need a custom base URL or an OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible endpoint, define a custom provider in the same config file:
-
-```json
-{
-  "provider": "my-openai-compatible",
-  "customProviders": [
-    {
-      "name": "my-openai-compatible",
-      "protocol": "openai",
-      "baseUrl": "https://example.com/v1",
-      "apiKeyEnv": "MY_LLM_API_KEY",
-      "model": "my-model",
-      "userAgentMode": "compat"
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-`userAgentMode` defaults to `"compat"`, which sends `KodaX` instead of the official SDK User-Agent. Switch it to `"sdk"` only when your gateway expects the upstream SDK header.
-
-#### OpenAI-compatible reasoning providers
-
-Some OpenAI-compatible reasoning models require KodaX to replay the previous assistant turn's `reasoning_content` on later requests. DeepSeek V4 thinking mode is the known load-bearing case. Built-in DeepSeek already opts in; custom providers must say so explicitly:
-
-```json
-{
-  "customProviders": [
-    {
-      "name": "my-deepseek-v4",
-      "protocol": "openai",
-      "baseUrl": "https://example.com/v1",
-      "apiKeyEnv": "MY_DEEPSEEK_API_KEY",
-      "model": "deepseek-v4-flash",
-      "supportsThinking": true,
-      "reasoningCapability": "native-toggle",
-      "replayReasoningContent": true
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-Keep `replayReasoningContent` unset or `false` for OpenAI proper and gateways that reject unknown assistant-message fields. If one gateway routes mixed models, prefer per-model overrides:
-
-```json
-{
-  "models": [
-    { "id": "deepseek-v4-flash", "replayReasoningContent": true },
-    { "id": "gpt-5", "replayReasoningContent": false }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-Sidecar verifier judge calls use provider-level forced tool choice when supported. If a compatible endpoint rejects the `tool_choice` parameter, KodaX retries that verifier request once without forced tool choice and still fails open rather than blocking the main Worker.
-
-#### Opting a custom provider into image / vision input (FEATURE_134 v0.7.40)
-
-If your custom provider's underlying model supports image input (vision), add a `capabilityProfile.multimodalSupport: "image-input"` block so KodaX does not artificially block multimodal requests at the SA-path policy gate. Built-in vision-capable aliases (Anthropic, OpenAI, Anthropic-/OpenAI-compatible aliases such as DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, Zhipu, MiniMax, MiMo, Ark, plus Gemini-CLI via the CLI's `@<path>` file-include syntax) already ship with this flag enabled by default; Codex-CLI and custom providers need to opt in when their underlying model supports image input.
-
-```json
-{
-  "customProviders": [
-    {
-      "name": "my-vision-provider",
-      "protocol": "openai",
-      "baseUrl": "https://example.com/v1",
-      "apiKeyEnv": "MY_LLM_API_KEY",
-      "model": "my-vision-model",
-      "capabilityProfile": {
-        "transport": "native-api",
-        "conversationSemantics": "full-history",
-        "mcpSupport": "none",
-        "contextFidelity": "full",
-        "toolCallingFidelity": "full",
-        "sessionSupport": "full",
-        "longRunningSupport": "full",
-        "multimodalSupport": "image-input",
-        "evidenceSupport": "full"
-      }
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-The serializer layer (`packages/llm/src/providers/anthropic.ts:770` for Anthropic-compat, `openai.ts:904` for OpenAI-compat) forwards image blocks automatically through base-class inheritance. The flag only gates whether KodaX's policy layer pre-rejects multimodal requests — the model-level vision contract remains your upstream provider's responsibility. If the model is actually text-only, you'll see the real upstream API error instead of a KodaX-side rejection.
-
-### 3. Start in REPL or run a one-shot task
-
-```bash
-# Interactive REPL
-kodax
-
-# Then ask naturally inside the REPL
-Read package.json and summarize the architecture
-/mode
-/help
-
-# One-shot CLI usage
-kodax "Review this repository and summarize the architecture"
-kodax --session review "Find the riskiest parts of src/"
-kodax --session review "Give me concrete fix suggestions"
-```
-
-### 4. Use it as a library
-
-Library usage still expects API keys from environment variables. If you want custom provider names or base URLs in code, register them explicitly:
-
-```typescript
-import { registerCustomProviders, runKodaX } from '@kodax-ai/kodax';
-
-registerCustomProviders([
-  {
-    name: 'my-openai-compatible',
-    protocol: 'openai',
-    baseUrl: 'https://example.com/v1',
-    apiKeyEnv: 'MY_LLM_API_KEY',
-    model: 'my-model',
-    userAgentMode: 'compat',
-  },
-]);
-
-const result = await runKodaX(
-  {
-    provider: 'my-openai-compatible',
-    reasoningMode: 'auto',
-  },
-  'Explain this codebase'
-);
-```
-
-> **Embedding KodaX inside another app?** (KodaX Space, IDE extensions, custom CLIs)
-> See [docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md](docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md) for the runtime-mutation
-> surface (`startKodaX` + `RunningSession`), MCP popout manager API (`McpManager`),
-> Skill `` !`cmd` `` host hook, and per-app data dir namespacing (`getAppDataDir`).
-
-## Repo Intelligence (optional premium engine)
-
-KodaX ships with built-in OSS repo intelligence (`repo_overview`, `module_context`, `symbol_context`, `process_context`, `impact_estimate`, …) that helps the coding agent understand large codebases without ad-hoc grep/glob exploration.
-
-An optional **premium engine** (`repointel` local daemon, distributed via the sibling `KodaX-private` repo) adds proactive context injection, deeper module capsules, and a native auto-lane integration. KodaX automatically falls back to OSS when premium is unavailable.
-
-```bash
-# Pick a runtime mode (off | oss | premium-shared | premium-native | auto)
-kodax --repo-intelligence premium-native --repo-intelligence-trace
-```
-
-Setup, runtime modes, REPL controls, config schema, and external-host integrations: see [docs/REPOINTEL.md](docs/REPOINTEL.md).
-
-## Architecture
-
-KodaX uses a **monorepo architecture** with npm workspaces. Source layout currently has 4 workspace packages; published as a single bundled npm package `@kodax-ai/kodax` with 7 SDK subpath exports (`/agent`, `/llm`, `/coding`, `/repl`, `/skills`, `/mcp`, `/session`; ADR-024 + ADR-032 + ADR-038, with ADR-036 consolidation):

-### Package Overview
-
-Source-side workspace package names (`@kodax-ai/*`). npm consumers install the single bundled `@kodax-ai/kodax` package and import from SDK subpaths — see [Source-side vs npm-published surface](#source-side-vs-npm-published-surface) and [SDK Usage](#sdk-usage) below.
-
-| Workspace package | Purpose | Key Dependencies |
-|---------|---------|------------------|
-| `@kodax-ai/llm` | LLM abstraction (14 built-in provider aliases + custom registration) | @anthropic-ai/sdk, openai |
-| `@kodax-ai/agent` | Generic Agent framework — Runner, fan-out, idle-yield, session-lineage, capabilities (mcp + skills), tracing (ADR-036 v0.7.43 consolidation; subpaths: `/session-lineage`, `/capabilities/mcp`, `/capabilities/skills`, `/tracing`) | @kodax-ai/llm, js-tiktoken, fflate, yaml |
-| `@kodax-ai/coding` | Coding Agent — 50+ tools (incl. `dispatch_child_task` / `send_message` / `task_stop`) + role prompts + auto-continue + repo-intelligence protocol | @kodax-ai/llm, @kodax-ai/agent |
-| `@kodax-ai/repl` | Complete interactive terminal UI (Ink/React, permission modes, commands, streaming) | @kodax-ai/coding, ink, react |
-
-### Source-side vs npm-published surface
-
-KodaX has two layers that consumers should understand separately:
-
-- **Source-side**: 4 workspace packages above (what developers see when reading the repo).
-- **npm-published**: a single bundled package `@kodax-ai/kodax` with 7 SDK subpaths (what SDK consumers `import` from). The subpaths are split into two roles:
-  - **Full-package subpaths** (`/agent`, `/llm`, `/coding`, `/repl`) — each one maps 1:1 to a source workspace and exposes its complete public API.
-  - **Narrow-subset subpaths** (`/skills`, `/mcp`, `/session`) — each one exposes only a focused capability slice carved out of `/agent` or `/repl`. This lets consumers who only need (say) the Skills system import a much smaller surface without pulling in the full agent framework.
-
-| Source package | npm subpath | Type | What you get | Example consumer |
-|---|---|---|---|---|
-| `packages/llm`    | `@kodax-ai/kodax/llm`     | Full package | 14-alias LLM abstraction (77 exports) | Standalone LLM clients |
-| `packages/agent`  | `@kodax-ai/kodax/agent`   | Full package | Runner / fan-out / session-lineage / capabilities / tracing (202 exports) | Custom agent frameworks |
-| `packages/agent`  | `@kodax-ai/kodax/skills`  | **Narrow subset** | Skills system only — `SkillRegistry` / `loadFullSkill` / `expandSkillForLLM` / ... (26 exports = pre-v0.7.43 `@kodax-ai/skills` complete API) | Skill loaders, IDE plugins |
-| `packages/agent`  | `@kodax-ai/kodax/mcp`     | **Narrow subset** | MCP only — `McpCapabilityProvider` / `createMcpTransport` / `searchMcpCatalog` / ... (11 exports = pre-v0.7.43 `@kodax-ai/mcp` complete API) | MCP server hosts |
-| `packages/coding` | `@kodax-ai/kodax/coding`  | Full package | Coding agent + 50+ tools + repo-intelligence (342 exports) | Build a Claude Code-shape product |
-| `packages/repl`   | `@kodax-ai/kodax/repl`    | Full package | Ink TUI + permission modes + commands (193 exports) | Terminal-UI consumers |
-| `packages/repl`   | `@kodax-ai/kodax/session` | **Narrow subset** | Session management only — `listSessions` / `forkSession` / `watchSessions` / ... (9 exports) | IDE plugins reading session history |
-
-**Rule of thumb**: if you need Runner / Agent / fan-out, import from `/agent`. If you only need skills or mcp APIs, import from `/skills` or `/mcp` to get a smaller bundle. The narrow subsets are subsets of the full packages — they do **not** expose extra symbols.
-
-**Dynamic Workflows (FEATURE_217, v0.7.49)**: the domain-neutral workflow runtime is part of `/agent` — `import { createWorkflowRuntime, runWorkflow, WorkflowAbortError, WorkflowLimitError } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/agent'`. The coding-side integration (agent backend + built-in workflows + saved-workflow discovery/generation: `createCodingWorkflowBackend`, `runWorkflowFromOptions`, `parallelInvestigation`, `discoverSavedWorkflows`, `generateWorkflowFromOptions`, …) is part of `/coding`. FEATURE_217 is the v0.7.49 home for the full Dynamic Workflow product loop: `/workflow create <request>` generates restricted scripts, `/workflow save <runId> <name>` stores `.workflow.json` rerunnable workflows, generated/saved scripts coordinate agents through `WorkflowApi`, run lifecycle state stays observable, opt-in `isolation:"worktree"` routes selected children to parent-managed worktrees, and all file/shell effects still pass through agent tools and the existing permission gates. There is **no** separate `@kodax-ai/kodax/agent/workflow` root-package subpath; source-package consumers of `@kodax-ai/agent` can still use that package's `./workflow` subpath.
-
-**Workflow Process Surface (FEATURE_229, v0.7.50 implementation complete; release validation pending)**: workflow progress is now a reusable Agent-layer process contract rather than private REPL text. SDK hosts can subscribe to `WorkflowProcessEvent`/poll `WorkflowProcessSnapshot`, use `createWorkflowRunManager` and `createWorkflowLifecycleController` for stop/pause/resume/result/artifact/delete/prune/identity/preflight controls, and receive ANSI-free provenance fields (`source`, `sourceRunId`, `sourceWorkflowName`, `savedWorkflowName`, `revisionOf`) plus `resultSummary`. `/coding` owns the coding workflow backend and run graph, `/repl` renders the same snapshots, and the terminal UI is not the hidden source of truth. `KodaXEvents` callbacks also take an optional metadata arg (`KodaXToolEventMeta` / `KodaXActivityEventMeta` / `KodaXWorkflowEventMeta`) so a host can attribute every child-agent tool/thinking/progress event to its workflow run and child id without a second event protocol, and generated/saved workflow scripts pass `validateRestrictedWorkflowSource` (compile + source-policy check) plus a generator repair/smoke loop before they run. See [docs/ADR.md ADR-040](docs/ADR.md) for the layering rationale.

-## Features
-
-- **Modular Architecture** - Use as CLI, as a library, or as a Node-free single binary
-- **14 Built-in Provider Aliases** - Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Kimi, Kimi Code, Qwen, Zhipu, Zhipu Coding, MiniMax Coding, MiMo Coding, MiMo, Ark Coding, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI - plus user-defined OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible providers
-- **Dynamic Workflows + SDK Process Surface** - Generate/reuse capability-routed workflows, observe live progress through `WorkflowProcessSnapshot`, and control workflow lifecycle from SDK hosts without parsing REPL output
-- **V2 Worker single-loop + Sidecar Verifier (default)** - Single-agent main loop with an out-of-band Sidecar Verifier as Stop-hook (claudecode-shape; FEATURE_184 v0.7.42, ADR-030). Verifier returns accept/revise/blocked verdict on Worker text-only termination. The pre-v0.7.43 V1 chain is retired, `emit_handoff` is deleted, accept-verdict UI silently passes through, and content-aware gating skips trivial-chat sidecar calls. Async child steering uses `dispatch_child_task` + `send_message` + `task_stop` with idle-yield wait; specialist routing uses `subagent_type`.
-- **Reasoning Modes** - Unified `off/auto/quick/balanced/deep` interface across providers
-- **Streaming Output** - Real-time response display
-- **Session Management** - JSONL format with branchable session lineage tree
-- **Skills System** - Natural language triggering, extensible, role-projected in AMA
-- **Repo Intelligence** - OSS baseline + optional `repointel` premium engine, with native KodaX auto-injection lane
-- **Rich Tool Surface** - 50+ built-in tools across file ops, shell, search, repo intelligence, MCP capabilities, git worktree, and agent control
-- **Permission Control** - 3 permission modes with pattern-based control
-- **Standalone Binary** - `bun --compile` releases for Win/macOS/Linux x64+arm64, no Node.js required on target machines
-- **Cross-Platform** - Windows/macOS/Linux
-- **TypeScript Native** - Full type safety and IDE support

-
-## Installation
-
-### As CLI Tool
-
-```bash
-# Clone repository
-git clone https://github.com/icetomoyo/KodaX.git
-cd KodaX
-
-# Install dependencies (includes workspace packages)
-npm install
-
-# Build the monorepo
-npm run build
-
-# Link globally (development mode)
-npm link
-
-# Now you can use 'kodax' anywhere
-kodax "your task"
-```
-
-### As Standalone Binary (no Node required on target)
-
-KodaX can be packaged into a single executable + a small `builtin/` sidecar directory using `bun --compile`. The target machine does **not** need Node.js or any other runtime.
-
-Supported targets: `win-x64`, `linux-x64`, `linux-arm64`, `darwin-x64`, `darwin-arm64`. Win7 / pre-glibc-2.27 distros / LoongArch are not supported.
-
-**Build locally**:
-
-```bash
-# Install Bun once on your build machine
-npm i -g bun                  # or scoop/brew/curl install — see docs/release.md
-
-npm run build:binary          # Current host platform (fastest)
-npm run build:binary:all      # All five targets in sequence
-node scripts/build-binary.mjs --target=linux-arm64   # Specific target
-```
-
-Output lives under `dist/binary/<target>/`:
-
-```
-dist/binary/linux-x64/
-├── kodax              # ~60 MB Bun-compiled executable
-└── builtin/           # Sidecar built-in skills
-```
-
-Smoke-test: `dist/binary/<host>/kodax --version`.
-
-**Automated release**: pushing a `v*` git tag triggers `.github/workflows/release.yml`, which builds all five targets on native runners, runs smoke tests, and publishes a GitHub Release with archives + SHA256SUMS. Use the `workflow_dispatch` button in the Actions UI to test the pipeline without tagging.
-
-See [docs/release.md](docs/release.md) for full details on build flags, archive layout, troubleshooting, and the build-time `KODAX_BUNDLED` / `KODAX_VERSION` defines.
-
-### As Library
-
-```bash
-npm install @kodax-ai/kodax
-```
-
-```typescript
-import { runKodaX } from '@kodax-ai/kodax';
-
-process.env.ZHIPU_API_KEY = process.env.ZHIPU_API_KEY ?? 'your_api_key';
-
-const result = await runKodaX({
-  provider: 'zhipu-coding',
-  reasoningMode: 'auto',
-  events: {
-    onTextDelta: (text) => process.stdout.write(text),
-    onComplete: () => console.log('\nDone!'),
-  },
-}, 'your task');
-
-console.log(result.lastText);
-```
-
-#### SDK Subpath Imports (v0.7.39+)
-
-For smaller surface and tree-shake-friendly imports, the SDK is also exposed via subpath exports — pick only the package(s) you need:
-
-```typescript
-import { Runner } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/agent';                // agent runtime
-import { getProvider } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/llm';              // LLM abstraction (14 aliases)
-import { runKodaX } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/coding';              // coding tools + prompts
-import { SkillRegistry } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/skills';         // zero-dep skill loader
-import { loadConfig } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/repl';              // REPL config / session helpers
-import { createMcpManager } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/mcp';         // MCP popout manager (v0.7.42)
-import { listSessions } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/session';         // session history helpers
-```
-
-All 8 SDK entries (root + 7 subpaths) share internal code via ESM chunk splitting — importing from `/agent` does not pull in `/repl`'s Ink + React surface.
-
-> **ESM-only.** The SDK is published as ES Modules. In a CommonJS context (Electron main process, legacy Webpack CJS bundles, `require()`-based code) you must use `await import(...)` instead of `require()`. See [docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md §5](docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md#5-consuming-from-a-commonjs-context-electron-main-cjs-bundles) for the canonical recipe + the technical reason most subpaths cannot ship a dual ESM/CJS build.
-
-For CLI users, provider defaults live in `~/.kodax/config.json`. For library users, API keys are still read from environment variables; if you need custom base URLs or provider aliases, use `registerCustomProviders()` as shown above.
-

-
-## Usage
-
-### REPL Quickstart
-
-Running `kodax` with no prompt starts the interactive REPL.
-
-```bash
-kodax
-```
-
-Inside the REPL you can type normal requests or slash commands:
-
-```text
-Read package.json and summarize the architecture
-/model
-/mode
-/help
-```
-
-### CLI Quickstart
-
-```bash
-# Set API key
-export ZHIPU_API_KEY=your_api_key
-
-# Basic usage
-kodax "Help me create a TypeScript project"
-
-# Choose a provider explicitly
-kodax --provider openai --model gpt-5.4 "Create a REST API"
-
-# Use a deeper reasoning mode
-kodax --reasoning deep "Review this architecture"
-```
-
-### Session Workflows
-
-Use a session when you want memory across turns. Without a session, each CLI call is independent.
-
-```bash
-# No memory: two separate calls
-kodax "Read src/auth.ts"
-kodax "Summarize it"
-
-# With memory: same session
-kodax --session my-project "Read package.json"
-kodax --session my-project "Summarize it"
-kodax --session my-project "How should I fix the first issue?"
-
-# Session management
-kodax --session list
-kodax --session resume "continue"
-```
-
-### Session Patterns
-
-```bash
-# ❌ No memory: two independent calls
-kodax "Read src/auth.ts"           # Agent reads and responds
-kodax "Summarize it"               # Agent doesn't know what to summarize
-
-# ✅ With memory: same session
-kodax --session auth-review "Read src/auth.ts"
-kodax --session auth-review "Summarize it"        # Agent knows to summarize auth.ts
-kodax --session auth-review "How to fix first issue"  # Agent has context
-```
-
-### Workflow Examples
-
-```bash
-# Code review (multi-turn conversation)
-kodax --session review "Review src/ directory"
-kodax --session review "Focus on security issues"
-kodax --session review "Give me fix suggestions"
-
-# Project development (continuous session)
-kodax --session todo-app "Create a Todo application"
-kodax --session todo-app "Add delete functionality"
-kodax --session todo-app "Write tests"
-```
-
-### CLI Reference
-
-```text
-kodax                    Start the interactive REPL
--h, --help [topic]   Show help or topic help
--p, --print <text>   Run a single task and exit
--c, --continue       Continue the most recent conversation in this directory
--r, --resume [id]    Resume a session by ID, or the latest session
--m, --provider       Provider to use
---model <name>       Override the model
---reasoning <mode>   off | auto | quick | balanced | deep
--t, --thinking       Compatibility alias for --reasoning auto
--s, --session <op>   Session ID or legacy session operation
--j, --parallel       Enable parallel tool execution
---max-iter <n>       Max iterations
-```
-
-### Permission Control
-
-KodaX provides 3 permission modes for fine-grained control:
-
-| Mode | Description | Tools Need Confirmation |
-|------|-------------|------------------------|
-| `plan` | Read-only planning mode | All modification tools blocked |
-| `accept-edits` | Auto-accept file edits | bash only |
-| `auto-in-project` | Full auto within project | None (project-scoped) |
-
-```bash
-# In REPL, use /mode command
-/mode plan          # Switch to plan mode (read-only)
-/mode accept-edits  # Switch to accept-edits mode
-/mode auto-in-project  # Switch to auto-in-project mode
-/auto                  # Alias for auto-in-project
-
-# Check current mode
-/mode
-```
-
-**Features:**
-- In `accept-edits` mode, choosing "always" can persist safe Bash allow-patterns
-- Plan mode includes system prompt context for LLM awareness
-- Permanent protection zones: `.kodax/`, `~/.kodax/`, paths outside project
-- Pattern-based permission: Allow specific Bash commands (e.g., `Bash(npm install)`)
-- Unified diff display for write/edit operations
-
-### CLI Help Topics
-
-Get detailed help for specific topics:
-
-```bash
-# Basic help
-kodax -h
-kodax --help
-
-# Detailed topic help
-kodax -h sessions      # Session management details
-kodax -h init          # Long-running project initialization

-kodax -h thinking      # Thinking/reasoning mode
-kodax -h team          # Multi-agent parallel execution
-kodax -h print         # Print configuration
-```
-
-### Environment Variables
-
-KodaX recognizes a number of environment variables for tuning runtime behavior. The most commonly used ones are listed below; for the full list, search the repo for `process.env.KODAX_`.
-
-#### `KODAX_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS`
-
-Overrides the per-turn `max_tokens` value sent to **every** provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, Zhipu, Kimi, MiniMax, Qwen, DeepSeek, MiMo, Gemini, Codex, …). Set to a positive integer; unset or non-numeric values are ignored. This is an **explicit user intent**: when set, it wins over the provider's model descriptor cap, over the provider config default, and over the global `KODAX_MAX_TOKENS` fallback. RST defense is handled at the provider config layer (`streamMaxDurationMs` watchdog + non-streaming fallback in `packages/llm/src/providers/registry.ts`), so this variable is purely an output-budget knob.
-
-```bash
-# Allow up to 48K output tokens per turn (use a higher cap when generating long files)
-export KODAX_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS=48000
-kodax "generate the full implementation"
-
-# Unset to restore default behavior
-unset KODAX_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS
-```
-
-Precedence used by every provider's `getEffectiveMaxOutputTokens()` (see `packages/llm/src/providers/base.ts`):
-
-1. One-shot per-request override (agent-loop escalation / context-overflow recovery — internal)
-2. **`KODAX_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS`** (this variable, explicit user intent)
-3. Active model descriptor's `maxOutputTokens` (FEATURE_098 per-model cap)
-4. Provider config default
-5. Global `KODAX_MAX_TOKENS` fallback
-
-Related variables: `KODAX_MAX_TOKENS` (global fallback when no provider/model cap applies), `KODAX_ESCALATED_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS` (escalation budget used by the agent loop when a turn returns `stop_reason: max_tokens`).
-
-> **Retired in v0.7.42**: `KODAX_RST_PRONE_PROVIDERS` and `KODAX_WRITE_TURN_MAX_TOKENS` (the v0.7.28 P2b write-turn cap mechanism) are no longer recognized. The 2026-04 bench measured RST as time-based (zhipu-coding 308s server kill window), not payload-size-based, so the cap was retired in favor of the per-provider `streamMaxDurationMs` watchdog + non-streaming fallback chain (configured in `registry.ts`). Existing env exports become silent no-ops; remove them from shell profiles when convenient.
-
-#### Sidecar verifier diagnostics
-
-Use these when diagnosing Worker text-only completion stalls or custom provider verifier behavior:
-
-```bash
-export KODAX_VERIFIER_LOG=1
-export KODAX_VERIFIER_PROVIDER=anthropic
-export KODAX_VERIFIER_MODEL=claude-haiku-4-5-20251001
-```
-
-- `KODAX_VERIFIER_LOG=1` shows verifier gate/elapsed/trace information and is equivalent to `"verifierLog": true` in `~/.kodax/config.json`.
-- `KODAX_VERIFIER_PROVIDER` + `KODAX_VERIFIER_MODEL` route the verifier to a separate provider/model instead of inheriting the main Worker model. Set both together.
-- `KODAX_VERIFIER_ALWAYS=1` forces the verifier to fire on every text-only completion for debugging/regression sweeps.
-
-## Advanced Library Usage
-
-#### Simple Mode (runKodaX)
-
-```typescript
-import { runKodaX, KodaXEvents } from '@kodax-ai/kodax';
-
-const events: KodaXEvents = {
-  onTextDelta: (text) => process.stdout.write(text),
-  onThinkingDelta: (text) => console.log(`Thinking delta: ${text.length} chars`),
-  onToolResult: (result) => console.log(`Tool ${result.name}: ${result.content.slice(0, 100)}`),
-  onComplete: () => console.log('\nDone!'),
-  onError: (e) => console.error(e.message),
-};
-
-const result = await runKodaX({
-  provider: 'zhipu-coding',
-  reasoningMode: 'auto',
-  events,
-}, 'What is 1+1?');
-
-console.log(result.lastText);
-```
-
-#### Continuous Session (KodaXClient)
-
-```typescript
-import { KodaXClient } from '@kodax-ai/kodax';
-
-const client = new KodaXClient({
-  provider: 'zhipu-coding',
-  reasoningMode: 'auto',
-  events: {
-    onTextDelta: (t) => process.stdout.write(t),
-  },
-});
-
-// First message
-await client.send('Read package.json');
-
-// Continue same session
-await client.send('Summarize it');
-
-console.log(client.getSessionId());
-```
-
-#### Custom Session Storage
-
-```typescript
-import { runKodaX, KodaXSessionStorage, KodaXMessage } from '@kodax-ai/kodax';
-
-class MyDatabaseStorage implements KodaXSessionStorage {
-  async save(id: string, data: { messages: KodaXMessage[]; title: string; gitRoot: string }) {
-    // Save to your database
-  }
-  async load(id: string) {
-    // Load from your database
-    return null;
-  }
-}
-
-await runKodaX({
-  provider: 'zhipu-coding',
-  session: {
-    id: 'my-session-123',
-    storage: new MyDatabaseStorage(),
-  },
-  events: { ... },
-}, 'task');
-```
-
-### Library Modes Comparison
-
-| Feature | runKodaX | KodaXClient |
-|---------|----------|-------------|
-| **Message Memory** | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
-| **Call Style** | Function | Class instance |
-| **Context** | Independent each time | Accumulates |
-| **Use Case** | Single tasks, batch processing | Interactive dialogue, multi-step tasks |
-

-
-## SDK Usage
-
-KodaX ships as a single npm package `@kodax-ai/kodax` with 7 SDK subpath exports (ADR-024 v0.7.39 + ADR-032 v0.7.42 + ADR-038 v0.7.49). Each subpath is tree-shake-friendly so consumers pull only what they need:
-
-```bash
-npm install @kodax-ai/kodax
-```
-
-```typescript
-import { runKodaX } from '@kodax-ai/kodax';                       // root: CLI helpers + runKodaX
-import { Runner, runFanOut } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/agent';        // generic Agent framework
-import { getProvider } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/llm';                // 14-alias LLM abstraction
-import { KODAX_TOOLS } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/coding';             // tools + prompts + agent loop
-import { runInkInteractiveMode } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/repl';     // Ink TUI entrypoint
-import { SkillRegistry } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/skills';           // zero-dep skill loader
-import { createMcpManager } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/mcp';           // MCP popout manager (v0.7.42)
-import { listSessions } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/session';           // session history helpers
-```
-
-> The SDK is **ESM-only**. CommonJS consumers (Electron main / Webpack CJS / `require()` callers) must use `await import('@kodax-ai/kodax/...')` — see [docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md §5](docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md#5-consuming-from-a-commonjs-context-electron-main-cjs-bundles).
-
-### `@kodax-ai/kodax/llm` — LLM Abstraction

-14 built-in provider aliases (Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Kimi, Kimi-Code, Qwen, Zhipu, Zhipu-Coding, MiniMax-Coding, MiMo, MiMo-Coding, Ark-Coding, Gemini-CLI, Codex-CLI) + custom provider registration.
-
-```typescript
-import { getProvider, KodaXBaseProvider } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/llm';
-
-const provider = getProvider('anthropic');
-const stream = await provider.streamCompletion(
-  [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }],
-  { onTextDelta: (text) => process.stdout.write(text) }
-);
-
-for await (const result of stream) {
-  if (result.type === 'text') { /* … */ }

-
-### `@kodax-ai/kodax/agent` — Agent Framework (standalone-consumable)
-
-ADR-021 standalone-consumable: `@kodax-ai/agent` has **zero inbound `@kodax-ai/coding` dependency** — you can wire any tool surface on top of it.
-
-```typescript
-import {
-  Runner,
-  runFanOut,
-  runWithIdleYield,
-  registerChildTask,
-  type ChildTaskRegistry,
-  generateSessionId,
-  estimateTokens,
-  DefaultSummaryCompaction,
-} from '@kodax-ai/kodax/agent';
-
-// Bounded-concurrency fan-out with abort + structured progress events (v0.7.39 FEATURE_120)
-const result = await runFanOut({
-  bundles: [{ id: 'a', task: 'audit-foo' }, { id: 'b', task: 'audit-bar' }],
-  maxParallel: 4,
-  run: async (bundle) => doWork(bundle),
-});
-
-// Idle-yield wait — pause when out of useful work, resume when a wake event arrives
-await runWithIdleYield({ runOnce, computeSnapshot, registry, messageQueue, agentId });
-
-// Pluggable compaction policy (FEATURE_081)
-const policy = new DefaultSummaryCompaction({ thresholdRatio: 0.8, keepRecent: 10 });
-```
-
-**Key Features**: `Runner` + per-step lifecycle · `runFanOut` (bounded-concurrency + abort + progress events) · `runWithIdleYield` (chat-while-waiting) · `ChildTaskRegistry` / `TaskAbortRegistry` · session-id generation · tiktoken-based token estimation · `CompactionPolicy` interface.
-
-### `@kodax-ai/kodax/skills` — Skills System
-
-Zero external dependencies. Markdown-based skill files with natural-language triggers and variable resolution.
-
-```typescript
-import {
-  SkillRegistry,
-  discoverSkills,
-  executeSkill,
-  type SkillContext,
-} from '@kodax-ai/kodax/skills';
-
-const skills = await discoverSkills(['/path/to/skills']);
-const registry = new SkillRegistry();
-await registry.registerSkills(skills);
-
-const result = await executeSkill({
-  skillId: 'code-review',
-  arguments: { target: 'src/' },
-  workingDirectory: process.cwd(),
-});
-```
-
-**Key Features**: zero deps · markdown-based skill files · natural-language triggering · variable resolution · built-in skills included.

-const result = await runKodaX({
-  provider: 'zhipu-coding',
-  reasoningMode: 'auto',
-  events: { onTextDelta: (text) => process.stdout.write(text) },
-}, 'Read package.json and explain the dependencies');
-
-// Continuous session
-const client = new KodaXClient({
-  provider: 'anthropic',
-  reasoningMode: 'auto',
-  events: { /* … */ },
-});
-await client.send('Create a new file');
-await client.send('Add a function to it'); // Has context from previous message
-```
-
-**Key Features**: 50+ built-in tools (see [Tools](#tools)) · V2 Worker single-loop + Sidecar Verifier (FEATURE_184 v0.7.42 / V1 chain fully retired by FEATURE_193 v0.7.43) · async child steering via `send_message` / `task_stop` (FEATURE_120, v0.7.39) · idle-yield wait mechanic (FEATURE_155, v0.7.38) · specialist routing via `subagent_type` (FEATURE_191, v0.7.43) · auto-continue · session lineage.
-
-### `@kodax-ai/kodax/repl` — Interactive Terminal UI
-
-Ink/React-based interactive REPL. Permission modes, command system, themed streaming display.
-
-```typescript
-import { runInkInteractiveMode } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/repl';
-
-// Usually used via the `kodax` bin command; can be embedded:
-// - Interactive terminal UI (Ink components)
-// - Permission control (auto/plan/accept-edits modes)
-// - Command system (/help, /mode, /clear, /status, …)
-// - Skills integration
-// - Theme support
-await runInkInteractiveMode({ provider: 'zhipu-coding', reasoningMode: 'auto' });
-```
-
-**Key Features**: Ink-based React components · 3 permission modes (auto / plan / accept-edits) · built-in commands · real-time streaming display · context-usage indicator.
-
-### Package Dependency Graph (workspace internal)
-
-```
-@kodax-ai/llm    (zero business-logic deps)
-    ↓
-@kodax-ai/agent  (depends @kodax-ai/llm; ADR-021 standalone-consumable;
-                  inlines session-lineage + capabilities/{mcp,skills} +

-## Skills System
-
-KodaX includes a built-in Skills system that can be triggered by natural language:
-
-```bash
-# Natural language triggering (no explicit /skill needed)
-kodax "帮我审查代码"           # Triggers code-review skill
-kodax "写测试用例"             # Triggers tdd skill
-kodax "提交代码"               # Triggers git-workflow skill
-
-# Explicit skill command
-kodax /skill:code-review
-```
-
-Built-in skills include:
-- **code-review** - Code review and quality analysis
-- **tdd** - Test-driven development workflow
-- **git-workflow** - Git commit and workflow automation
-
-Skills are stored in `~/.kodax/skills/` and can be extended with custom skills.
-
----
-
-## Commands (CLI)
-
-Commands are `/xxx` shortcuts in CLI:
-
-```bash
-kodax /review src/auth.ts
-kodax /test
-```
-
-Commands are stored in `~/.kodax/commands/`:
-- `.md` files → Prompt commands (content used as prompt)
-- `.ts/.js` files → Programmable commands
-
----
-
-## API Exports
-
-```typescript
-// Main functions
-export { runKodaX, KodaXClient };
-
-// Types
-export type {
-  KodaXEvents, KodaXOptions, KodaXResult,
-  KodaXMessage, KodaXContentBlock,
-  KodaXSessionStorage, KodaXToolDefinition
-};
-
-// Tools
-export { KODAX_TOOLS, KODAX_TOOL_REQUIRED_PARAMS, executeTool };
-
-// Providers
-export { getProvider, KODAX_PROVIDERS, KodaXBaseProvider };
-
-// Utilities
-export {
-  estimateTokens,
-  getGitRoot, getGitContext, getEnvContext, getProjectSnapshot,
-  checkPromiseSignal
-};
-```
-
----
-
-## Development
-
-```bash
-# Development mode (using tsx)
-npm run dev "your task"
-
-# Build
-npm run build
-
-# Optional: only build workspace packages
-npm run build:packages
-
-# Build standalone binary (current platform / all platforms)
-npm run build:binary
-npm run build:binary:all
-
-# Run tests
-npm test
-
-# Eval-driven development tests (provider matrices, identity round-trip, etc.)
-npm run test:eval
-
-# Clean
-npm run clean
-```
-
-### Repo Intelligence cache directories
-
-KodaX now uses two repo-intelligence cache locations on disk:
-
-- `.agent/repo-intelligence/`
-  - OSS baseline repo-intelligence artifacts and existing task-engine snapshots.
-- `.repointel/`
-  - Premium `repointel` workspace cache shared by the local daemon/native frontdoor.
-
-They are intentionally separated so:
-
-- OSS fallback stays available even when premium is disabled or unavailable.
-- Premium cache does not pollute OSS artifacts.
-- KodaX and other hosts can share the same premium workspace cache.
-
-`.repointel/` is a local generated directory and should not be committed.
-
----
-
-## Code Style
-
-### Comment Guidelines
-
-KodaX uses an **English-first** comment style with selective Chinese brief notes for complex logic.
-
-| Situation | Style | Example |
-|-----------|-------|---------|
-| Import/Export | English only | `// Import dependencies` |
-| Simple constants | English only | `// Max retry count` |
-| Simple logic | English only | `// Return if null` |
-| **Business rules** | English + Chinese | `// Skip tool_result - 跳过工具结果块` |
-| **Platform compatibility** | English + Chinese | `// Windows path handling - Windows 路径处理` |
-| **Performance optimization** | English + Chinese | `// Debounce to prevent flicker - 防抖避免闪烁` |

+
+## Detailed Setup
+
+> The `npm i -g @kodax-ai/kodax` one-liner above is the fastest path. This section is for building from source, configuring custom providers, or using KodaX as a library.
+
+### 1. Build the CLI from source
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/icetomoyo/KodaX.git
+cd KodaX
+npm install
+npm run build
+npm link
+```
+
+### 2. Configure a provider
+
+KodaX reads API keys from environment variables. For built-in providers, the fastest path is:
+
+```bash
+# macOS / Linux
+export ZHIPU_API_KEY=your_api_key
+
+# PowerShell
+$env:ZHIPU_API_KEY="your_api_key"
+```
+
+For CLI defaults, create `~/.kodax/config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "provider": "zhipu-coding",
+  "reasoningMode": "auto"
+}
+```
+
+If you need a custom base URL or an OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible endpoint, define a custom provider in the same config file:
+
+```json
+{
+  "provider": "my-openai-compatible",
+  "customProviders": [
+    {
+      "name": "my-openai-compatible",
+      "protocol": "openai",
+      "baseUrl": "https://example.com/v1",
+      "apiKeyEnv": "MY_LLM_API_KEY",
+      "model": "my-model",
+      "userAgentMode": "compat"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+`userAgentMode` defaults to `"compat"`, which sends `KodaX` instead of the official SDK User-Agent. Switch it to `"sdk"` only when your gateway expects the upstream SDK header.
+
+#### OpenAI-compatible reasoning providers
+
+Some OpenAI-compatible reasoning models require KodaX to replay the previous assistant turn's `reasoning_content` on later requests. DeepSeek V4 thinking mode is the known load-bearing case. Built-in DeepSeek already opts in; custom providers must say so explicitly:
+
+```json
+{
+  "customProviders": [
+    {
+      "name": "my-deepseek-v4",
+      "protocol": "openai",
+      "baseUrl": "https://example.com/v1",
+      "apiKeyEnv": "MY_DEEPSEEK_API_KEY",
+      "model": "deepseek-v4-flash",
+      "supportsThinking": true,
+      "reasoningCapability": "native-toggle",
+      "replayReasoningContent": true
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Keep `replayReasoningContent` unset or `false` for OpenAI proper and gateways that reject unknown assistant-message fields. If one gateway routes mixed models, prefer per-model overrides:
+
+```json
+{
+  "models": [
+    { "id": "deepseek-v4-flash", "replayReasoningContent": true },
+    { "id": "gpt-5", "replayReasoningContent": false }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Sidecar verifier judge calls use provider-level forced tool choice when supported. If a compatible endpoint rejects the `tool_choice` parameter, KodaX retries that verifier request once without forced tool choice and still fails open rather than blocking the main Worker.
+
+#### Opting a custom provider into image / vision input (FEATURE_134 v0.7.40)
+
+If your custom provider's underlying model supports image input (vision), add a `capabilityProfile.multimodalSupport: "image-input"` block so KodaX does not artificially block multimodal requests at the SA-path policy gate. Built-in vision-capable aliases (Anthropic, OpenAI, Anthropic-/OpenAI-compatible aliases such as DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, Zhipu, MiniMax, MiMo, Ark, plus Gemini-CLI via the CLI's `@<path>` file-include syntax) already ship with this flag enabled by default; Codex-CLI and custom providers need to opt in when their underlying model supports image input.
+
+```json
+{
+  "customProviders": [
+    {
+      "name": "my-vision-provider",
+      "protocol": "openai",
+      "baseUrl": "https://example.com/v1",
+      "apiKeyEnv": "MY_LLM_API_KEY",
+      "model": "my-vision-model",
+      "capabilityProfile": {
+        "transport": "native-api",
+        "conversationSemantics": "full-history",
+        "mcpSupport": "none",
+        "contextFidelity": "full",
+        "toolCallingFidelity": "full",
+        "sessionSupport": "full",
+        "longRunningSupport": "full",
+        "multimodalSupport": "image-input",
+        "evidenceSupport": "full"
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+The serializer layer (`packages/llm/src/providers/anthropic.ts:770` for Anthropic-compat, `openai.ts:904` for OpenAI-compat) forwards image blocks automatically through base-class inheritance. The flag only gates whether KodaX's policy layer pre-rejects multimodal requests — the model-level vision contract remains your upstream provider's responsibility. If the model is actually text-only, you'll see the real upstream API error instead of a KodaX-side rejection.
+
+### 3. Start in REPL or run a one-shot task
+
+```bash
+# Interactive REPL
+kodax
+
+# Then ask naturally inside the REPL
+Read package.json and summarize the architecture
+/mode
+/help
+
+# One-shot CLI usage
+kodax "Review this repository and summarize the architecture"
+kodax --session review "Find the riskiest parts of src/"
+kodax --session review "Give me concrete fix suggestions"
+```
+
+### 4. Use it as a library
+
+Library usage still expects API keys from environment variables. If you want custom provider names or base URLs in code, register them explicitly:
+
+```typescript
+import { registerCustomProviders, runKodaX } from '@kodax-ai/kodax';
+
+registerCustomProviders([
+  {
+    name: 'my-openai-compatible',
+    protocol: 'openai',
+    baseUrl: 'https://example.com/v1',
+    apiKeyEnv: 'MY_LLM_API_KEY',
+    model: 'my-model',
+    userAgentMode: 'compat',
+  },
+]);
+
+const result = await runKodaX(
+  {
+    provider: 'my-openai-compatible',
+    reasoningMode: 'auto',
+  },
+  'Explain this codebase'
+);
+```
+
+> **Embedding KodaX inside another app?** (KodaX Space, IDE extensions, custom CLIs)
+> See [docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md](docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md) for the runtime-mutation
+> surface (`startKodaX` + `RunningSession`), MCP popout manager API (`McpManager`),
+> Skill `` !`cmd` `` host hook, and per-app data dir namespacing (`getAppDataDir`).

+KodaX ships with built-in OSS repo intelligence (`repo_overview`, `module_context`, `symbol_context`, `process_context`, `impact_estimate`, …) that helps the coding agent understand large codebases without ad-hoc grep/glob exploration.
+
+An optional **premium engine** (`repointel` local daemon, distributed via the sibling `KodaX-private` repo) adds proactive context injection, deeper module capsules, and a native auto-lane integration. KodaX automatically falls back to OSS when premium is unavailable.
+
+```bash
+# Pick a runtime mode (off | oss | premium-shared | premium-native | auto)
+kodax --repo-intelligence premium-native --repo-intelligence-trace
+```
+
+Setup, runtime modes, REPL controls, config schema, and external-host integrations: see [docs/REPOINTEL.md](docs/REPOINTEL.md).
+
+## Architecture
+
+KodaX uses a **monorepo architecture** with npm workspaces. Source layout currently has 4 workspace packages; published as a single bundled npm package `@kodax-ai/kodax` with 7 SDK subpath exports (`/agent`, `/llm`, `/coding`, `/repl`, `/skills`, `/mcp`, `/session`; ADR-024 + ADR-032 + ADR-038, with ADR-036 consolidation):

+
+### Package Overview
+
+Source-side workspace package names (`@kodax-ai/*`). npm consumers install the single bundled `@kodax-ai/kodax` package and import from SDK subpaths — see [Source-side vs npm-published surface](#source-side-vs-npm-published-surface) and [SDK Usage](#sdk-usage) below.
+
+| Workspace package | Purpose | Key Dependencies |
+|---------|---------|------------------|
+| `@kodax-ai/llm` | LLM abstraction (14 built-in provider aliases + custom registration) | @anthropic-ai/sdk, openai |
+| `@kodax-ai/agent` | Generic Agent framework — Runner, fan-out, idle-yield, session-lineage, capabilities (mcp + skills), tracing (ADR-036 v0.7.43 consolidation; subpaths: `/session-lineage`, `/capabilities/mcp`, `/capabilities/skills`, `/tracing`) | @kodax-ai/llm, js-tiktoken, fflate, yaml |
+| `@kodax-ai/coding` | Coding Agent — 50+ tools (incl. `dispatch_child_task` / `send_message` / `task_stop`) + role prompts + auto-continue + repo-intelligence protocol | @kodax-ai/llm, @kodax-ai/agent |
+| `@kodax-ai/repl` | Complete interactive terminal UI (Ink/React, permission modes, commands, streaming) | @kodax-ai/coding, ink, react |
+
+### Source-side vs npm-published surface
+
+KodaX has two layers that consumers should understand separately:
+
+- **Source-side**: 4 workspace packages above (what developers see when reading the repo).
+- **npm-published**: a single bundled package `@kodax-ai/kodax` with 7 SDK subpaths (what SDK consumers `import` from). The subpaths are split into two roles:
+  - **Full-package subpaths** (`/agent`, `/llm`, `/coding`, `/repl`) — each one maps 1:1 to a source workspace and exposes its complete public API.
+  - **Narrow-subset subpaths** (`/skills`, `/mcp`, `/session`) — each one exposes only a focused capability slice carved out of `/agent` or `/repl`. This lets consumers who only need (say) the Skills system import a much smaller surface without pulling in the full agent framework.
+
+| Source package | npm subpath | Type | What you get | Example consumer |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `packages/llm`    | `@kodax-ai/kodax/llm`     | Full package | 14-alias LLM abstraction (77 exports) | Standalone LLM clients |
+| `packages/agent`  | `@kodax-ai/kodax/agent`   | Full package | Runner / fan-out / session-lineage / capabilities / tracing (202 exports) | Custom agent frameworks |
+| `packages/agent`  | `@kodax-ai/kodax/skills`  | **Narrow subset** | Skills system only — `SkillRegistry` / `loadFullSkill` / `expandSkillForLLM` / ... (26 exports = pre-v0.7.43 `@kodax-ai/skills` complete API) | Skill loaders, IDE plugins |
+| `packages/agent`  | `@kodax-ai/kodax/mcp`     | **Narrow subset** | MCP only — `McpCapabilityProvider` / `createMcpTransport` / `searchMcpCatalog` / ... (11 exports = pre-v0.7.43 `@kodax-ai/mcp` complete API) | MCP server hosts |
+| `packages/coding` | `@kodax-ai/kodax/coding`  | Full package | Coding agent + 50+ tools + repo-intelligence (342 exports) | Build a Claude Code-shape product |
+| `packages/repl`   | `@kodax-ai/kodax/repl`    | Full package | Ink TUI + permission modes + commands (193 exports) | Terminal-UI consumers |
+| `packages/repl`   | `@kodax-ai/kodax/session` | **Narrow subset** | Session management only — `listSessions` / `forkSession` / `watchSessions` / ... (9 exports) | IDE plugins reading session history |
+
+**Rule of thumb**: if you need Runner / Agent / fan-out, import from `/agent`. If you only need skills or mcp APIs, import from `/skills` or `/mcp` to get a smaller bundle. The narrow subsets are subsets of the full packages — they do **not** expose extra symbols.
+
+**Dynamic Workflows (FEATURE_217, v0.7.49)**: the domain-neutral workflow runtime is part of `/agent` — `import { createWorkflowRuntime, runWorkflow, WorkflowAbortError, WorkflowLimitError } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/agent'`. The coding-side integration (agent backend + built-in workflows + saved-workflow discovery/generation: `createCodingWorkflowBackend`, `runWorkflowFromOptions`, `parallelInvestigation`, `discoverSavedWorkflows`, `generateWorkflowFromOptions`, …) is part of `/coding`. FEATURE_217 is the v0.7.49 home for the full Dynamic Workflow product loop: `/workflow create <request>` generates restricted scripts, `/workflow save <runId> <name>` stores `.workflow.json` rerunnable workflows, generated/saved scripts coordinate agents through `WorkflowApi`, run lifecycle state stays observable, opt-in `isolation:"worktree"` routes selected children to parent-managed worktrees, and all file/shell effects still pass through agent tools and the existing permission gates. There is **no** separate `@kodax-ai/kodax/agent/workflow` root-package subpath; source-package consumers of `@kodax-ai/agent` can still use that package's `./workflow` subpath.
+
+**Workflow Process Surface (FEATURE_229, v0.7.50)**: workflow progress is now a reusable Agent-layer process contract rather than private REPL text. SDK hosts can subscribe to `WorkflowProcessEvent`/poll `WorkflowProcessSnapshot`, use `createWorkflowRunManager` and `createWorkflowLifecycleController` for stop/pause/resume/result/artifact/delete/prune/identity/preflight controls, and receive ANSI-free provenance fields (`source`, `sourceRunId`, `sourceWorkflowName`, `savedWorkflowName`, `revisionOf`) plus `resultSummary`. `/coding` owns the coding workflow backend and run graph, `/repl` renders the same snapshots, and the terminal UI is not the hidden source of truth. `KodaXEvents` callbacks also take an optional metadata arg (`KodaXToolEventMeta` / `KodaXActivityEventMeta` / `KodaXWorkflowEventMeta`) so a host can attribute every child-agent tool/thinking/progress event to its workflow run and child id without a second event protocol, and generated/saved workflow scripts pass `validateRestrictedWorkflowSource` (compile + source-policy check) plus a generator repair/smoke loop before they run. See [docs/ADR.md ADR-040](docs/ADR.md) for the layering rationale.
+
+**Host Reads Persisted History (FEATURE_230 + FEATURE_234, v0.7.51)**: two additive closures for hosts that read persisted state. **Durable tool transcript replay** — a resumed session now replays the tool cards the assistant used instead of degrading to text-only. `messages` / `lineage` stay canonical; `SessionData.uiHistory` becomes a bounded, sanitized, terminal-only replay cache. The SDK transcript contract is explicit: `loadSession()` = active model context, `loadFullTranscript()` = append-order host scrollback, `uiHistory` = optional replay cache, and tool cards can always be reconstructed from canonical messages (replay types exported from `@kodax-ai/kodax/session`). **Workflow run host attribution** — `WorkflowProcessTrackerOptions` / `WorkflowProcessSnapshot` gain a host-owned opaque `hostMetadata?: Record<string, string>` that the SDK stores, persists to `run.json`, and echoes back (including after a restart) without interpreting it, so a host can map a run to the session/surface that launched it with zero side table. Unstamped/legacy runs honestly echo `hostMetadata === undefined`. See [docs/features/v0.7.51.md](docs/features/v0.7.51.md).

+
+## Features
+
+- **Modular Architecture** - Use as CLI, as a library, or as a Node-free single binary
+- **14 Built-in Provider Aliases** - Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Kimi, Kimi Code, Qwen, Zhipu, Zhipu Coding, MiniMax Coding, MiMo Coding, MiMo, Ark Coding, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI - plus user-defined OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible providers
+- **Dynamic Workflows + SDK Process Surface** - Generate/reuse capability-routed workflows, observe live progress through `WorkflowProcessSnapshot`, and control workflow lifecycle from SDK hosts without parsing REPL output
+- **V2 Worker single-loop + Sidecar Verifier (default)** - Single-agent main loop with an out-of-band Sidecar Verifier as Stop-hook (claudecode-shape; FEATURE_184 v0.7.42, ADR-030). Verifier returns accept/revise/blocked verdict on Worker text-only termination. The pre-v0.7.43 V1 chain is retired, `emit_handoff` is deleted, accept-verdict UI silently passes through, and content-aware gating skips trivial-chat sidecar calls. Async child steering uses `dispatch_child_task` + `send_message` + `task_stop` with idle-yield wait; specialist routing uses `subagent_type`.
+- **Reasoning Modes** - Unified `off/auto/quick/balanced/deep` interface across providers
+- **Streaming Output** - Real-time response display
+- **Session Management** - JSONL format with branchable session lineage tree
+- **Skills System** - Natural language triggering, extensible, role-projected in AMA
+- **Repo Intelligence** - OSS baseline + optional `repointel` premium engine, with native KodaX auto-injection lane
+- **Rich Tool Surface** - 50+ built-in tools across file ops, shell, search, repo intelligence, MCP capabilities, git worktree, and agent control
+- **Permission Control** - 3 permission modes with pattern-based control
+- **Standalone Binary** - `bun --compile` releases for Win/macOS/Linux x64+arm64, no Node.js required on target machines
+- **Cross-Platform** - Windows/macOS/Linux
+- **TypeScript Native** - Full type safety and IDE support
+

+
+## Installation
+
+### As CLI Tool
+
+```bash
+# Clone repository
+git clone https://github.com/icetomoyo/KodaX.git
+cd KodaX
+
+# Install dependencies (includes workspace packages)
+npm install
+
+# Build the monorepo
+npm run build
+
+# Link globally (development mode)
+npm link
+
+# Now you can use 'kodax' anywhere
+kodax "your task"
+```
+
+### As Standalone Binary (no Node required on target)
+
+KodaX can be packaged into a single executable + a small `builtin/` sidecar directory using `bun --compile`. The target machine does **not** need Node.js or any other runtime.
+
+Supported targets: `win-x64`, `linux-x64`, `linux-arm64`, `darwin-x64`, `darwin-arm64`. Win7 / pre-glibc-2.27 distros / LoongArch are not supported.
+
+**Build locally**:
+
+```bash
+# Install Bun once on your build machine
+npm i -g bun                  # or scoop/brew/curl install — see docs/release.md
+
+npm run build:binary          # Current host platform (fastest)
+npm run build:binary:all      # All five targets in sequence
+node scripts/build-binary.mjs --target=linux-arm64   # Specific target
+```
+
+Output lives under `dist/binary/<target>/`:
+
+```
+dist/binary/linux-x64/
+├── kodax              # ~60 MB Bun-compiled executable
+└── builtin/           # Sidecar built-in skills
+```
+
+Smoke-test: `dist/binary/<host>/kodax --version`.
+
+**Automated release**: pushing a `v*` git tag triggers `.github/workflows/release.yml`, which builds all five targets on native runners, runs smoke tests, and publishes a GitHub Release with archives + SHA256SUMS. Use the `workflow_dispatch` button in the Actions UI to test the pipeline without tagging.
+
+See [docs/release.md](docs/release.md) for full details on build flags, archive layout, troubleshooting, and the build-time `KODAX_BUNDLED` / `KODAX_VERSION` defines.
+
+### As Library
+
+```bash
+npm install @kodax-ai/kodax
+```
+
+```typescript
+import { runKodaX } from '@kodax-ai/kodax';
+
+process.env.ZHIPU_API_KEY = process.env.ZHIPU_API_KEY ?? 'your_api_key';
+
+const result = await runKodaX({
+  provider: 'zhipu-coding',
+  reasoningMode: 'auto',
+  events: {
+    onTextDelta: (text) => process.stdout.write(text),
+    onComplete: () => console.log('\nDone!'),
+  },
+}, 'your task');
+
+console.log(result.lastText);
+```
+
+#### SDK Subpath Imports (v0.7.39+)
+
+For smaller surface and tree-shake-friendly imports, the SDK is also exposed via subpath exports — pick only the package(s) you need:
+
+```typescript
+import { Runner } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/agent';                // agent runtime
+import { getProvider } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/llm';              // LLM abstraction (14 aliases)
+import { runKodaX } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/coding';              // coding tools + prompts
+import { SkillRegistry } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/skills';         // zero-dep skill loader
+import { loadConfig } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/repl';              // REPL config / session helpers
+import { createMcpManager } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/mcp';         // MCP popout manager (v0.7.42)
+import { listSessions } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/session';         // session history helpers
+```
+
+All 8 SDK entries (root + 7 subpaths) share internal code via ESM chunk splitting — importing from `/agent` does not pull in `/repl`'s Ink + React surface.
+
+> **ESM-only.** The SDK is published as ES Modules. In a CommonJS context (Electron main process, legacy Webpack CJS bundles, `require()`-based code) you must use `await import(...)` instead of `require()`. See [docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md §5](docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md#5-consuming-from-a-commonjs-context-electron-main-cjs-bundles) for the canonical recipe + the technical reason most subpaths cannot ship a dual ESM/CJS build.
+
+For CLI users, provider defaults live in `~/.kodax/config.json`. For library users, API keys are still read from environment variables; if you need custom base URLs or provider aliases, use `registerCustomProviders()` as shown above.
+
+---
+
+## Usage
+
+### REPL Quickstart
+
+Running `kodax` with no prompt starts the interactive REPL.
+
+```bash
+kodax
+```
+
+Inside the REPL you can type normal requests or slash commands:
+
+```text
+Read package.json and summarize the architecture
+/model
+/mode
+/help
+```
+
+### CLI Quickstart
+
+```bash
+# Set API key
+export ZHIPU_API_KEY=your_api_key
+
+# Basic usage
+kodax "Help me create a TypeScript project"
+
+# Choose a provider explicitly
+kodax --provider openai --model gpt-5.4 "Create a REST API"
+
+# Use a deeper reasoning mode
+kodax --reasoning deep "Review this architecture"
+```
+
+### Session Workflows
+
+Use a session when you want memory across turns. Without a session, each CLI call is independent.
+
+```bash
+# No memory: two separate calls
+kodax "Read src/auth.ts"
+kodax "Summarize it"
+
+# With memory: same session
+kodax --session my-project "Read package.json"
+kodax --session my-project "Summarize it"
+kodax --session my-project "How should I fix the first issue?"
+
+# Session management
+kodax --session list
+kodax --session resume "continue"
+```
+
+### Session Patterns
+
+```bash
+# ❌ No memory: two independent calls
+kodax "Read src/auth.ts"           # Agent reads and responds
+kodax "Summarize it"               # Agent doesn't know what to summarize
+
+# ✅ With memory: same session
+kodax --session auth-review "Read src/auth.ts"
+kodax --session auth-review "Summarize it"        # Agent knows to summarize auth.ts
+kodax --session auth-review "How to fix first issue"  # Agent has context
+```
+
+### Workflow Examples
+
+```bash
+# Code review (multi-turn conversation)
+kodax --session review "Review src/ directory"
+kodax --session review "Focus on security issues"
+kodax --session review "Give me fix suggestions"
+
+# Project development (continuous session)
+kodax --session todo-app "Create a Todo application"
+kodax --session todo-app "Add delete functionality"
+kodax --session todo-app "Write tests"
+```
+
+### CLI Reference
+
+```text
+kodax                    Start the interactive REPL
+-h, --help [topic]   Show help or topic help
+-p, --print <text>   Run a single task and exit
+-c, --continue       Continue the most recent conversation in this directory
+-r, --resume [id]    Resume a session by ID, or the latest session
+-m, --provider       Provider to use
+--model <name>       Override the model
+--reasoning <mode>   off | auto | quick | balanced | deep
+-t, --thinking       Compatibility alias for --reasoning auto
+-s, --session <op>   Session ID or legacy session operation
+-j, --parallel       Enable parallel tool execution
+--max-iter <n>       Max iterations
+```
+
+### Permission Control
+
+KodaX provides 3 permission modes for fine-grained control:
+
+| Mode | Description | Tools Need Confirmation |
+|------|-------------|------------------------|
+| `plan` | Read-only planning mode | All modification tools blocked |
+| `accept-edits` | Auto-accept file edits | bash only |
+| `auto-in-project` | Full auto within project | None (project-scoped) |
+
+```bash
+# In REPL, use /mode command
+/mode plan          # Switch to plan mode (read-only)
+/mode accept-edits  # Switch to accept-edits mode
+/mode auto-in-project  # Switch to auto-in-project mode
+/auto                  # Alias for auto-in-project
+
+# Check current mode
+/mode
+```
+
+**Features:**
+- In `accept-edits` mode, choosing "always" can persist safe Bash allow-patterns
+- Plan mode includes system prompt context for LLM awareness
+- Permanent protection zones: `.kodax/`, `~/.kodax/`, paths outside project
+- Pattern-based permission: Allow specific Bash commands (e.g., `Bash(npm install)`)
+- Unified diff display for write/edit operations
+

+
+# Detailed topic help
+kodax -h sessions      # Session management details
+kodax -h init          # Long-running project initialization

+kodax -h print         # Print configuration
+```
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+KodaX recognizes a number of environment variables for tuning runtime behavior. The most commonly used ones are listed below; for the full list, search the repo for `process.env.KODAX_`.
+
+#### `KODAX_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS`
+
+Overrides the per-turn `max_tokens` value sent to **every** provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, Zhipu, Kimi, MiniMax, Qwen, DeepSeek, MiMo, Gemini, Codex, …). Set to a positive integer; unset or non-numeric values are ignored. This is an **explicit user intent**: when set, it wins over the provider's model descriptor cap, over the provider config default, and over the global `KODAX_MAX_TOKENS` fallback. RST defense is handled at the provider config layer (`streamMaxDurationMs` watchdog + non-streaming fallback in `packages/llm/src/providers/registry.ts`), so this variable is purely an output-budget knob.
+
+```bash
+# Allow up to 48K output tokens per turn (use a higher cap when generating long files)
+export KODAX_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS=48000
+kodax "generate the full implementation"
+
+# Unset to restore default behavior
+unset KODAX_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS
+```
+
+Precedence used by every provider's `getEffectiveMaxOutputTokens()` (see `packages/llm/src/providers/base.ts`):
+
+1. One-shot per-request override (agent-loop escalation / context-overflow recovery — internal)
+2. **`KODAX_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS`** (this variable, explicit user intent)
+3. Active model descriptor's `maxOutputTokens` (FEATURE_098 per-model cap)
+4. Provider config default
+5. Global `KODAX_MAX_TOKENS` fallback
+
+Related variables: `KODAX_MAX_TOKENS` (global fallback when no provider/model cap applies), `KODAX_ESCALATED_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS` (escalation budget used by the agent loop when a turn returns `stop_reason: max_tokens`).
+
+> **Retired in v0.7.42**: `KODAX_RST_PRONE_PROVIDERS` and `KODAX_WRITE_TURN_MAX_TOKENS` (the v0.7.28 P2b write-turn cap mechanism) are no longer recognized. The 2026-04 bench measured RST as time-based (zhipu-coding 308s server kill window), not payload-size-based, so the cap was retired in favor of the per-provider `streamMaxDurationMs` watchdog + non-streaming fallback chain (configured in `registry.ts`). Existing env exports become silent no-ops; remove them from shell profiles when convenient.
+
+#### Sidecar verifier diagnostics
+
+Use these when diagnosing Worker text-only completion stalls or custom provider verifier behavior:
+
+```bash
+export KODAX_VERIFIER_LOG=1
+export KODAX_VERIFIER_PROVIDER=anthropic
+export KODAX_VERIFIER_MODEL=claude-haiku-4-5-20251001
+```
+
+- `KODAX_VERIFIER_LOG=1` shows verifier gate/elapsed/trace information and is equivalent to `"verifierLog": true` in `~/.kodax/config.json`.
+- `KODAX_VERIFIER_PROVIDER` + `KODAX_VERIFIER_MODEL` route the verifier to a separate provider/model instead of inheriting the main Worker model. Set both together.
+- `KODAX_VERIFIER_ALWAYS=1` forces the verifier to fire on every text-only completion for debugging/regression sweeps.
+
+## Advanced Library Usage
+
+#### Simple Mode (runKodaX)
+
+```typescript
+import { runKodaX, KodaXEvents } from '@kodax-ai/kodax';
+
+const events: KodaXEvents = {
+  onTextDelta: (text) => process.stdout.write(text),
+  onThinkingDelta: (text) => console.log(`Thinking delta: ${text.length} chars`),
+  onToolResult: (result) => console.log(`Tool ${result.name}: ${result.content.slice(0, 100)}`),
+  onComplete: () => console.log('\nDone!'),
+  onError: (e) => console.error(e.message),
+};
+
+const result = await runKodaX({
+  provider: 'zhipu-coding',
+  reasoningMode: 'auto',
+  events,
+}, 'What is 1+1?');
+
+console.log(result.lastText);
+```
+
+#### Continuous Session (KodaXClient)
+
+```typescript
+import { KodaXClient } from '@kodax-ai/kodax';
+
+const client = new KodaXClient({
+  provider: 'zhipu-coding',
+  reasoningMode: 'auto',
+  events: {
+    onTextDelta: (t) => process.stdout.write(t),
+  },
+});
+
+// First message
+await client.send('Read package.json');
+
+// Continue same session
+await client.send('Summarize it');
+
+console.log(client.getSessionId());
+```
+
+#### Custom Session Storage
+
+```typescript
+import { runKodaX, KodaXSessionStorage, KodaXMessage } from '@kodax-ai/kodax';
+
+class MyDatabaseStorage implements KodaXSessionStorage {
+  async save(id: string, data: { messages: KodaXMessage[]; title: string; gitRoot: string }) {
+    // Save to your database
+  }
+  async load(id: string) {
+    // Load from your database
+    return null;
+  }
+}
+
+await runKodaX({
+  provider: 'zhipu-coding',
+  session: {
+    id: 'my-session-123',
+    storage: new MyDatabaseStorage(),
+  },
+  events: { ... },
+}, 'task');
+```
+

+
+## SDK Usage
+
+KodaX ships as a single npm package `@kodax-ai/kodax` with 7 SDK subpath exports (ADR-024 v0.7.39 + ADR-032 v0.7.42 + ADR-038 v0.7.49). Each subpath is tree-shake-friendly so consumers pull only what they need:
+
+```bash
+npm install @kodax-ai/kodax
+```
+
+```typescript
+import { runKodaX } from '@kodax-ai/kodax';                       // root: CLI helpers + runKodaX
+import { Runner, runFanOut } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/agent';        // generic Agent framework
+import { getProvider } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/llm';                // 14-alias LLM abstraction
+import { KODAX_TOOLS } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/coding';             // tools + prompts + agent loop
+import { runInkInteractiveMode } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/repl';     // Ink TUI entrypoint
+import { SkillRegistry } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/skills';           // zero-dep skill loader
+import { createMcpManager } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/mcp';           // MCP popout manager (v0.7.42)
+import { listSessions } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/session';           // session history helpers
+```
+
+> The SDK is **ESM-only**. CommonJS consumers (Electron main / Webpack CJS / `require()` callers) must use `await import('@kodax-ai/kodax/...')` — see [docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md §5](docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md#5-consuming-from-a-commonjs-context-electron-main-cjs-bundles).

+
+const provider = getProvider('anthropic');
+const stream = await provider.streamCompletion(
+  [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }],
+  { onTextDelta: (text) => process.stdout.write(text) }
+);
+
+for await (const result of stream) {

+
+## Tools
+
+KodaX ships 50+ built-in tools, grouped below. They are registered as a single flat tool surface to the LLM; the categories here are just for navigation.
+
+### File operations
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `read` | Read file contents (supports offset/limit) |
+| `write` | Write a new file or fully rewrite an existing one |
+| `edit` | Exact string replacement (supports `replace_all`) |
+| `multi_edit` | Atomic batch of independent edits to one file |
+| `insert_after_anchor` | Insert content after a unique anchor without rewriting the file |
+| `undo` | Revert the last file modification |

+
+---
+
+## Skills System
+
+KodaX includes a built-in Skills system that can be triggered by natural language:
+
+```bash
+# Natural language triggering (no explicit /skill needed)
+kodax "帮我审查代码"           # Triggers code-review skill
+kodax "写测试用例"             # Triggers tdd skill
+kodax "提交代码"               # Triggers git-workflow skill
+
+# Explicit skill command
+kodax /skill:code-review
+```
+
+Built-in skills include:
+- **code-review** - Code review and quality analysis
+- **tdd** - Test-driven development workflow
+- **git-workflow** - Git commit and workflow automation
+
+Skills are stored in `~/.kodax/skills/` and can be extended with custom skills.
+
+---
+
+## Commands (CLI)
+
+Commands are `/xxx` shortcuts in CLI:
+
+```bash
+kodax /review src/auth.ts
+kodax /test
+```
+
+Commands are stored in `~/.kodax/commands/`:
+- `.md` files → Prompt commands (content used as prompt)
+- `.ts/.js` files → Programmable commands
+
+---
+
+## API Exports
+
+```typescript
+// Main functions
+export { runKodaX, KodaXClient };
+
+// Types
+export type {
+  KodaXEvents, KodaXOptions, KodaXResult,
+  KodaXMessage, KodaXContentBlock,
+  KodaXSessionStorage, KodaXToolDefinition
+};
+
+// Tools
+export { KODAX_TOOLS, KODAX_TOOL_REQUIRED_PARAMS, executeTool };
+
+// Providers
+export { getProvider, KODAX_PROVIDERS, KodaXBaseProvider };
+
+// Utilities
+export {
+  estimateTokens,
+  getGitRoot, getGitContext, getEnvContext, getProjectSnapshot,
+  checkPromiseSignal
+};
+```
+
+---
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+# Development mode (using tsx)
+npm run dev "your task"
+
+# Build
+npm run build
+
+# Optional: only build workspace packages
+npm run build:packages
+
+# Build standalone binary (current platform / all platforms)
+npm run build:binary
+npm run build:binary:all
+
+# Run tests
+npm test
+
+# Eval-driven development tests (provider matrices, identity round-trip, etc.)
+npm run test:eval
+
+# Clean
+npm run clean
+```
+
+### Repo Intelligence cache directories
+
+KodaX now uses two repo-intelligence cache locations on disk:
+
+- `.agent/repo-intelligence/`
+  - OSS baseline repo-intelligence artifacts and existing task-engine snapshots.
+- `.repointel/`
+  - Premium `repointel` workspace cache shared by the local daemon/native frontdoor.
+
+They are intentionally separated so:
+
+- OSS fallback stays available even when premium is disabled or unavailable.
+- Premium cache does not pollute OSS artifacts.
+- KodaX and other hosts can share the same premium workspace cache.
+
+`.repointel/` is a local generated directory and should not be committed.
+
+---
+
+## Code Style
+
+### Comment Guidelines
+
+KodaX uses an **English-first** comment style with selective Chinese brief notes for complex logic.
+
+| Situation | Style | Example |
+|-----------|-------|---------|
+| Import/Export | English only | `// Import dependencies` |
+| Simple constants | English only | `// Max retry count` |
+| Simple logic | English only | `// Return if null` |
+| **Business rules** | English + Chinese | `// Skip tool_result - 跳过工具结果块` |
+| **Platform compatibility** | English + Chinese | `// Windows path handling - Windows 路径处理` |
+| **Performance optimization** | English + Chinese | `// Debounce to prevent flicker - 防抖避免闪烁` |
