-```bash
-npm i -g @kodax-ai/kodax
-
-# Pick any one you have an API key for (`kodax setup --help` lists all):
-export ZHIPU_API_KEY=...        # ANTHROPIC_API_KEY / OPENAI_API_KEY / DEEPSEEK_API_KEY /

-
-That's it. You're in the REPL — ask anything in natural language. On a new
-machine, bare interactive `kodax` first checks for supported API-key environment
-variables. If none exists, KodaX only prints Windows, macOS, and Linux setup
-instructions and exits without creating configuration or collecting a key.
-After setting the variable, close the current terminal, open a new one, and run
-`kodax` again. If a supported credential exists but no provider is selected,
-KodaX opens the provider/model metadata setup. Use `kodax setup` to rerun the
-flow, `kodax setup --custom` for a guided custom provider, and
-`kodax setup --help` (or REPL `/setup --help`) for paths, provider variables,
-commands, and shortcuts. Interactive setup also checks the optional ASRT sandbox once:
-Windows may show a one-time UAC prompt; macOS/Linux report any required
-Seatbelt/bubblewrap dependencies. Declining or missing a dependency does not
-break ordinary permission handling, and normal startup will not keep reminding
-you.

-## 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
-# Interactive metadata-only provider/model setup (does not collect a key)
-kodax setup
-
-# Guided custom OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible provider
-kodax setup --custom
-
-# Complete guide; does not change files
-kodax setup --help
-```
-
-Setup checks these active files and matching `*.example.jsonc` references:
-
-- `~/.kodax/config.json` and `~/.kodax/config.example.jsonc`
-- `~/.kodax/integrations/mcp.json`
-- `~/.kodax/integrations/extensions.json`
-- `~/.kodax/integrations/a2a.json`
-
-The core active file remains strict JSON. The first line of the annotated
-`config.example.jsonc` points to all split files and documents every supported
-core setting. Setup preserves existing files and stages readable legacy
-`config.json#mcpServers` / `config.json#extensions` before creating empty
-authoritative split files. It tells you the exact environment-variable name to
-set and exits so you can restart the terminal. Existing active files are
-validated first; an invalid file is reported without creating or overwriting
-configuration. For a custom provider, setup asks for an `apiKeyEnv` name such
-as `MY_LLM_API_KEY`, not the API key itself. `config.json` stores that name
-only; after setup, set the environment variable with exactly that name to the
-provider's actual API key. KodaX does not set the OS environment variable for
-you. You can also configure it directly:
-
-```bash
-# macOS / Linux
-export ZHIPU_API_KEY=your_api_key
-
-# PowerShell
-$env:ZHIPU_API_KEY="your_api_key"
-```
-
-### 2.1 Activate the optional sandbox
-
-`kodax setup` and first-run setup check sandbox readiness. You can inspect or
-activate it explicitly:
-
-```bash
-kodax sandbox doctor
-kodax sandbox setup
-```
-
-- Windows uses a restricted sandbox account and network policy. A normal
-  terminal is sufficient; approve the one-time UAC prompt.
-- macOS uses Seatbelt/`sandbox-exec` and requires ripgrep
-  (`brew install ripgrep`).
-- Linux uses bubblewrap and requires `bubblewrap`, `socat`, and `ripgrep`
-  (install them with your distro's `apt`, `dnf`, or `pacman`).
-
-KodaX never runs `sudo` or a package manager automatically. If the sandbox is
-not active, deterministic safe operations and Auto[LLM] decisions keep the
-same permission behavior; only OS-level containment is absent. Ordinary runs
-do not repeatedly prompt for setup. In the REPL, `/sandbox` refreshes readiness
-and diagnostics without activating the backend or requesting elevation.
-Per-command sandbox routing remains internal and is not shown in normal command
-history. SDK embedders can use the same capability independently through
-`@kodax-ai/kodax/sandbox`; see the
-[SDK sandbox guide](docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md#30-standalone-sandbox-sdk-v0778).
-
-Credential-shaped environment variables are filtered from model-issued shell
-commands by default. To expose exact host variables to those command targets,
-including ASRT, add only their names to the user-level core config:
-
-```json
-{
-  "sandbox": {
-    "envPass": ["GH_TOKEN", "GITHUB_TOKEN", "OPENAI_API_KEY"]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-The default list is empty. Values remain in the host environment and are never
-stored in `config.json`; project configuration cannot extend the list.
-Matching is exact (case-insensitive on Windows), and execution-control
-variables such as `NODE_OPTIONS` and `BASH_ENV` remain blocked. Restart KodaX
-after changing the host variables or this setting; stop/restart a persistent
-KodaX daemon so it receives the new environment and configuration.
-SDK callers pass the same shape per Run as `KodaXOptions.sandbox`, so concurrent
-Runs can use different lists without mutating process-global configuration.
-
-For Qwen Token Plan, select `qwen-token-plan` and use its separate credential;
-`QWEN_API_KEY` does not authenticate this route:
-
-```bash
-export QWEN_TOKEN_API_KEY=your_api_key
-kodax --provider qwen-token-plan
-```
-
-For CLI defaults, create `~/.kodax/config.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "provider": "zhipu-coding",
-  "effort": "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",
-      "reasoning": {
-        "efforts": ["off", "low", "medium", "high", "max"],
-        "default": "high"
-      }
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-Here, `"apiKeyEnv": "MY_LLM_API_KEY"` is a reference to an environment-variable
-name, not an API key value. Put the custom provider's actual API key in the
-`MY_LLM_API_KEY` environment variable, then close the current terminal and open
-a new one before running `kodax`.
-
-`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.
-For custom reasoning models, `reasoning: { efforts, default }` is the preferred v0.7.57 shape; use `"reasoning": "none"` for models without thinking capability. SDK hosts should render effort pickers from `reasoningProfile.supportedEfforts` / `defaultEffort` rather than assuming a fixed five-option ladder.
-
-#### 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",
-      "maxOutputTokensField": "max_tokens",
-      "reasoningPreset": "deepseek-v4-flash-openai",
-      "replayReasoningContent": true
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-DeepSeek Chat Completions uses `max_tokens`; OpenAI proper defaults to
-`max_completion_tokens`. 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 for both fields:
-
-```json
-{
-  "models": [
-    {
-      "id": "deepseek-v4-flash",
-      "maxOutputTokensField": "max_tokens",
-      "reasoningPreset": "deepseek-v4-flash-openai",
-      "replayReasoningContent": true
-    },
-    { "id": "gpt-5", "replayReasoningContent": false }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-If a custom endpoint is confirmed to support cache-affinity routing, set
-`"promptCacheAffinity": true`. Anthropic-compatible requests then receive the
-opaque logical-context key as `metadata.user_id`; OpenAI-compatible requests
-receive `prompt_cache_key`. The default is `false` because some strict
-compatible gateways reject unknown request fields. Do not enable it solely
-because an endpoint claims protocol compatibility.
-
-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, compatible aliases such as 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. DeepSeek V4 and Codex-CLI are text-only; 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',
-    effort: '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`).
-
-## Runtime SDK and daemon
-
-SDK hosts can use `@kodax-ai/kodax/runtime` in three forms: inline embedded for
-lowest latency, Worker-hosted embedded for private state plus hard V8 disposal,
-or a local daemon shared by REPL, Space, IDE adapters, and custom SDK clients.
-All three expose the same `KodaXRuntime` services.
-
-```ts
-import { createKodaXRuntime } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/runtime';
-
-const isolated = await createKodaXRuntime({
-  mode: 'embedded',
-  isolation: 'worker',
-  requirements: { hardDispose: true },
-});
-```
-
-Inline is private and lowest-overhead; Worker is private and hard-disposable;
-daemon is process-isolated and shared. `runtime.close()` closes private
-inline/Worker ownership, but only detaches one daemon client. Contradictory
-isolation options fail instead of silently selecting a weaker mode. Worker
-isolation is a V8 fault boundary, not a security sandbox.
-
-Because a daemon is intentionally persistent, tests that auto-start one must
-also run `kodax daemon stop --home <dir> --profile <name>` (or send authenticated
-`runtime.shutdown`) before deleting their temporary home. A remaining Node
-process is not safe to kill by name alone; verify its command line and owner.
-
-```bash
-kodax daemon start
-kodax daemon stop --profile default
-kodax --runtime-mode daemon
-kodax -p "Review this repository" --runtime-mode daemon
-```
-
-All CLI task forms now use the same Runtime path: interactive REPL, positional
-prompts, slash-command prompts, and `kodax -p`. Select the persistent default in
-`~/.kodax/config.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "runtimeMode": "daemon"
-}
-```
-
-Resolution order is explicit CLI/SDK option > environment variable >
-`config.json` > built-in default (`embedded`). `KODAX_RUNTIME_MODE=daemon` is a
-temporary environment override. The same rule applies to other paired settings,
-for example `provider` ↔ `KODAX_PROVIDER` and `effort` ↔ `KODAX_EFFORT`.
-JSON names stay camelCase while environment names use `KODAX_UPPER_SNAKE_CASE`.
-
-By default, daemon state, config, and runtime session storage use the exact
-resolved `KODAX_HOME` (normally `<OS user home>/.kodax`), so CLI and SDK clients
-converge on the same local daemon even when `KODAX_HOME` is an arbitrary custom
-directory. The high-level `createKodaXRuntime({ mode: 'daemon' })` API starts or
-reuses that daemon unless you pass an explicit endpoint/transport or
-`autoStartDaemon: false`. An explicit `--home <dir>` or `homeDir` selects the
-isolated `<dir>/.kodax` namespace for tests, CI, or project-local experiments.
-
-**v0.7.71 packaged Electron patch:** packaged/asar Electron hosts can use daemon
-auto-start without relaunching the GUI. `ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE` is limited to a
-bootstrap-only child exec boundary and removed before daemon or ordinary user
-child code loads. The default-enabled Electron `RunAsNode` fuse is required;
-hosts that disable it must start the daemon through ordinary Node/KodaX CLI and
-connect in attach-only mode. For SDK calls, `homeDir` is the CLI-style base
-directory that owns `.kodax`, not the `.kodax` path itself.
-
-**v0.7.75 Windows GUI stabilization candidate:** Runtime Worker-reachable
-non-interactive subprocesses request hidden Windows consoles across memory/Git,
-provider CLI/ACP, LSP, clipboard, worktree, review, extension-command,
-checkpoint, and sandbox paths. Explicit editor, terminal, and PTY behavior is
-unchanged. The SDK bundle includes a static child-process audit and a packaged
-Electron 20-query console-visibility regression. Product-level packaged KodaX
-Space verification remains useful but does not gate SDK packaging or
-publication.
-
-The same candidate distinguishes optional post-completion offers from
-clarification required to finish the current request, emits budget-approval
-state only for eligible Sidecar revisions, and preserves structured blocked
-reasons across embedded and daemon Runtime boundaries.
-
-**v0.7.76 Kimi Code catalog refresh:** `kimi-code` now defaults to the official
-`k3-256k` Model ID and sends it unchanged. `kimi-for-coding` remains selectable
-for K2.7 Code, alongside `kimi-for-coding-highspeed` and the 1M `k3` tier. K3
-supports `low` / `high` / `max` reasoning with `high` as default; the 256K
-route supports image input but not video input.
-
-**v0.7.77 release:** AMA now chooses and composes six named
-problem-solving patterns through the existing Actor control plane instead of
-using a fixed topology or hidden Workflow. Optional strategy metadata becomes
-a bounded, fact-only `PatternTrace`; the existing Sidecar remains the only
-terminal-answer quality judge. Governed memory can also react sparsely after a
-tool failure, verification failure, or committed compaction and place at most
-three prompt-safe, low-authority evidence items before the next Action-LLM
-request. The default path adds no selector model call; SDK hosts may opt into
-`memoryRecallRunner` in process. Public `kimi` also gains the 1M `kimi-k3`
-route while retaining K2.7 Code as its default. See the
-[v0.7.77 design](docs/features/v0.7.77.md) and
-[release checklist](docs/release.md#v0777-release-ready-candidate-verification).
-The frozen F274/F275 paid evaluation completed with `recommend-ship` from the
-final F274 Layer 2/Layer 3 reviews and the F275 pilot review, followed by a
-joint `SHIP` decision for the deterministic contracts. Semantic memory
-selection remains experimental and host opt-in; no task-quality, token, or
-latency improvement is claimed.
-
-**v0.7.78 evidence-gated learning, setup, and permission/sandbox release:**
-Background learning is Memory-first. Only repeated independently verified
-evidence, or an explicit preserve-as-Skill request with verified terminal
-evidence, can admit a low-risk declarative Skill to a bounded immutable
-project canary; three exact-revision uses and independently verified success
-are required before automatic project trust. Every revision remains visible
-and reversible in `/learn`. Protected/formal Skills, global promotion, and
-Extension authoring remain explicit user actions.
-
-First-run setup now creates and validates the split core/MCP/Extensions/A2A
-files and annotated templates without overwriting existing configuration or
-collecting secrets. Auto[LLM] admits precisely modeled ordinary reads and
-workspace/temp mutations before classifier latency, retries classifier
-infrastructure failure once, then falls back at the Accept-edits boundary
-without switching to rules. ASRT is optional execution containment rather
-than permission authority; `/sandbox` is the explicit diagnostic surface, and
-SDK hosts can use the standalone `/sandbox` subpath without a silent
-unsandboxed fallback. KodaX's workspace containment denies reads from common
-home credential paths and the complete resolved agent home without turning
-ordinary external reads into an allowlist. See the
-[v0.7.78 design](docs/features/v0.7.78.md), the
-[release checklist](docs/release.md#v0778-release-verification), and
-[SDK guide sections 29–30](docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md#29-evidence-gated-background-skill-learning-feature_263-v0778).
-
-The release closure also preserves intent across adjacent surfaces: static
-Skill instructions load in Edit/Plan without granting later side effects,
-dynamic Skill commands require an explicit host-controlled executor, root AMA
-uses the governed `memory_intent` lifecycle (including explicit intent captured
-before a later cancellation), Workflow Actor waits remain
-unbounded unless the workflow sets a deadline, and Runtime Auto capability v4
-advertises `fallbackPersistsEngine:false` across embedded, Worker, and daemon
-hosts. Actor ownership additionally uses Runtime identity rather than PID alone,
-so PID reuse cannot pin a crashed owner. The resume Session picker also renders
-timestamps in the host's local timezone.
-
-**v0.7.79 release:** Configured outbound A2A Agents can persist two
-independent, default-deny network permissions: private-address access and
-non-loopback plaintext HTTP. The embedded Worker and shared daemon reconcile
-and execute the same authorized configuration. Runtime embedders also gain one
-authoritative Session status, bounded read-only diagnostics, byte-preserving
-Session export, strict transcript observation, a provenance-checked ordinary
-conversation projection, and bounded streaming-event coalescing with
-capability-gated idle daemon upgrade. Standalone child-process, Session lineage,
-shell cleanup, packaged sidecar, and parallel admission paths receive the
-corresponding release hardening.
-
-OpenAI-compatible custom providers can now choose `max_tokens` or
-`max_completion_tokens` per provider or model. DeepSeek V4 Flash and Pro use
-separate reasoning profiles and are advertised as text-only. See the
-[v0.7.79 design](docs/features/v0.7.79.md) and
-[release checklist](docs/release.md#v0779-release-preparation).
-FEATURE_280 was explicitly rescheduled to v0.7.81 (then to v0.7.86 on
-2026-08-04) and is not represented as shipped by this release.
-Issue 256 was explicitly rescheduled to v0.7.84 and is likewise not represented
-as shipped by this release.
-
-**v0.7.80 hardening release:** The CLI honors `worker.configuredA2A` in
-`~/.kodax/config.json`: the embedded Runtime becomes Worker-hosted and loads
-the configured A2A plane inside the Worker owner, so configured outbound
-Agents appear as `external:<name>` in `list_dispatchable_agents` and can be
-dispatched with `spawn_agent`. The mode rejects configured MCP servers or
-Extensions (they cannot cross the Worker boundary); use the default inline
-Runtime to retain those capabilities. Worker-hosted embedded CLI sessions also
-reduce run options to the JSON-safe wire DTO exactly like daemon mode instead of
-crashing with `RuntimeTransportBoundaryError`. Auto permission analysis no
-longer treats ordinary search scopes and tool metadata as unresolved, and a
-`max_tokens`-truncated classifier retry uses a 1024-token budget (Issue 275).
-Managed AMA turns now bound one uninterrupted tool loop by a 500-iteration
-panic fuse that resets on every idle-yield resume — a runaway-loop breaker,
-never a cumulative task budget — and a fused Runner fails with a structured
-`RunnerIterationLimitError` carrying the recovery transcript. Managed-run
-repetition loops are closed; parallel review and delegation guidance are
-restored and tightened. FEATURE_278/279/282/283/285 were explicitly
-rescheduled to v0.7.85, so v0.7.80 remains a debug/patch slot and no incomplete
-feature is represented as shipped. See the

+## Install in 30 seconds
+
+```bash
+npm i -g @kodax-ai/kodax
+
+# Pick any one you have an API key for (`kodax setup --help` lists all):
+export ZHIPU_API_KEY=...        # ANTHROPIC_API_KEY / OPENAI_API_KEY / DEEPSEEK_API_KEY /
+                                # KIMI_API_KEY / KIMI_CODE_API_KEY / QWEN_API_KEY /
+                                # QWEN_TOKEN_API_KEY / ZHIPU_CODING_API_KEY /

+
+kodax
+```
+
+That's it. You're in the REPL — ask anything in natural language. On a new
+machine, bare interactive `kodax` first checks for supported API-key environment
+variables. If none exists, KodaX only prints Windows, macOS, and Linux setup
+instructions and exits without creating configuration or collecting a key.
+After setting the variable, close the current terminal, open a new one, and run
+`kodax` again. If a supported credential exists but no provider is selected,
+KodaX opens the provider/model metadata setup. Use `kodax setup` to rerun the
+flow, `kodax setup --custom` for a guided custom provider, and
+`kodax setup --help` (or REPL `/setup --help`) for paths, provider variables,
+commands, and shortcuts. Interactive setup also checks the optional ASRT sandbox once:
+Windows may show a one-time UAC prompt; macOS/Linux report any required
+Seatbelt/bubblewrap dependencies. Declining or missing a dependency does not
+break ordinary permission handling, and normal startup will not keep reminding
+you.

+
+## 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
+# Interactive metadata-only provider/model setup (does not collect a key)
+kodax setup
+
+# Guided custom OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible provider
+kodax setup --custom
+
+# Complete guide; does not change files
+kodax setup --help
+```
+
+Setup checks these active files and matching `*.example.jsonc` references:
+
+- `~/.kodax/config.json` and `~/.kodax/config.example.jsonc`
+- `~/.kodax/integrations/mcp.json`
+- `~/.kodax/integrations/extensions.json`
+- `~/.kodax/integrations/a2a.json`
+
+The core active file remains strict JSON. The first line of the annotated
+`config.example.jsonc` points to all split files and documents every supported
+core setting. Setup preserves existing files and stages readable legacy
+`config.json#mcpServers` / `config.json#extensions` before creating empty
+authoritative split files. It tells you the exact environment-variable name to
+set and exits so you can restart the terminal. Existing active files are
+validated first; an invalid file is reported without creating or overwriting
+configuration. For a custom provider, setup asks for an `apiKeyEnv` name such
+as `MY_LLM_API_KEY`, not the API key itself. `config.json` stores that name
+only; after setup, set the environment variable with exactly that name to the
+provider's actual API key. KodaX does not set the OS environment variable for
+you. You can also configure it directly:
+
+```bash
+# macOS / Linux
+export ZHIPU_API_KEY=your_api_key
+
+# PowerShell
+$env:ZHIPU_API_KEY="your_api_key"
+```
+
+### 2.1 Activate the optional sandbox
+
+`kodax setup` and first-run setup check sandbox readiness. You can inspect or
+activate it explicitly:
+
+```bash
+kodax sandbox doctor
+kodax sandbox setup
+```
+
+- Windows uses a restricted sandbox account and network policy. A normal
+  terminal is sufficient; approve the one-time UAC prompt.
+- macOS uses Seatbelt/`sandbox-exec` and requires ripgrep
+  (`brew install ripgrep`).
+- Linux uses bubblewrap and requires `bubblewrap`, `socat`, and `ripgrep`
+  (install them with your distro's `apt`, `dnf`, or `pacman`).
+
+KodaX never runs `sudo` or a package manager automatically. If the sandbox is
+not active, deterministic safe operations and Auto[LLM] decisions keep the
+same permission behavior; only OS-level containment is absent. Ordinary runs
+do not repeatedly prompt for setup. In the REPL, `/sandbox` refreshes readiness
+and diagnostics without activating the backend or requesting elevation.
+Per-command sandbox routing remains internal and is not shown in normal command
+history. SDK embedders can use the same capability independently through
+`@kodax-ai/kodax/sandbox`; see the
+[SDK sandbox guide](public_docs/sdk/embedder-guide.md#30-standalone-sandbox-sdk-v0778).
+
+Credential-shaped environment variables are filtered from model-issued shell
+commands by default. To expose exact host variables to those command targets,
+including ASRT, add only their names to the user-level core config:
+
+```json
+{
+  "sandbox": {
+    "envPass": ["GH_TOKEN", "GITHUB_TOKEN", "OPENAI_API_KEY"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The default list is empty. Values remain in the host environment and are never
+stored in `config.json`; project configuration cannot extend the list.
+Matching is exact (case-insensitive on Windows), and execution-control
+variables such as `NODE_OPTIONS` and `BASH_ENV` remain blocked. Restart KodaX
+after changing the host variables or this setting; stop/restart a persistent
+KodaX daemon so it receives the new environment and configuration.
+SDK callers pass the same shape per Run as `KodaXOptions.sandbox`, so concurrent
+Runs can use different lists without mutating process-global configuration.
+
+For Qwen Token Plan, select `qwen-token-plan` and use its separate credential;
+`QWEN_API_KEY` does not authenticate this route:
+
+```bash
+export QWEN_TOKEN_API_KEY=your_api_key
+kodax --provider qwen-token-plan
+```
+
+For CLI defaults, create `~/.kodax/config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "provider": "zhipu-coding",
+  "effort": "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",
+      "reasoning": {
+        "efforts": ["off", "low", "medium", "high", "max"],
+        "default": "high"
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Here, `"apiKeyEnv": "MY_LLM_API_KEY"` is a reference to an environment-variable
+name, not an API key value. Put the custom provider's actual API key in the
+`MY_LLM_API_KEY` environment variable, then close the current terminal and open
+a new one before running `kodax`.
+
+`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.
+For custom reasoning models, `reasoning: { efforts, default }` is the preferred v0.7.57 shape; use `"reasoning": "none"` for models without thinking capability. SDK hosts should render effort pickers from `reasoningProfile.supportedEfforts` / `defaultEffort` rather than assuming a fixed five-option ladder.
+
+#### 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",
+      "maxOutputTokensField": "max_tokens",
+      "reasoningPreset": "deepseek-v4-flash-openai",
+      "replayReasoningContent": true
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+DeepSeek Chat Completions uses `max_tokens`; OpenAI proper defaults to
+`max_completion_tokens`. 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 for both fields:
+
+```json
+{
+  "models": [
+    {
+      "id": "deepseek-v4-flash",
+      "maxOutputTokensField": "max_tokens",
+      "reasoningPreset": "deepseek-v4-flash-openai",
+      "replayReasoningContent": true
+    },
+    { "id": "gpt-5", "replayReasoningContent": false }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+If a custom endpoint is confirmed to support cache-affinity routing, set
+`"promptCacheAffinity": true`. Anthropic-compatible requests then receive the
+opaque logical-context key as `metadata.user_id`; OpenAI-compatible requests
+receive `prompt_cache_key`. The default is `false` because some strict
+compatible gateways reject unknown request fields. Do not enable it solely
+because an endpoint claims protocol compatibility.
+
+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, compatible aliases such as 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. DeepSeek V4 and Codex-CLI are text-only; 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',
+    effort: 'auto',
+  },
+  'Explain this codebase'
+);
+```
+
+> **Embedding KodaX inside another app?** (KodaX Space, IDE extensions, custom CLIs)
+> See [public_docs/sdk/embedder-guide.md](public_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`).
+
+## Runtime SDK and daemon
+
+SDK hosts can use `@kodax-ai/kodax/runtime` in three forms: inline embedded for
+lowest latency, Worker-hosted embedded for private state plus hard V8 disposal,
+or a local daemon shared by REPL, Space, IDE adapters, and custom SDK clients.
+All three expose the same `KodaXRuntime` services.
+
+```ts
+import { createKodaXRuntime } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/runtime';
+
+const isolated = await createKodaXRuntime({
+  mode: 'embedded',
+  isolation: 'worker',
+  requirements: { hardDispose: true },
+});
+```
+
+Inline is private and lowest-overhead; Worker is private and hard-disposable;
+daemon is process-isolated and shared. `runtime.close()` closes private
+inline/Worker ownership, but only detaches one daemon client. Contradictory
+isolation options fail instead of silently selecting a weaker mode. Worker
+isolation is a V8 fault boundary, not a security sandbox.
+
+Because a daemon is intentionally persistent, tests that auto-start one must
+also run `kodax daemon stop --home <dir> --profile <name>` (or send authenticated
+`runtime.shutdown`) before deleting their temporary home. A remaining Node
+process is not safe to kill by name alone; verify its command line and owner.
+
+```bash
+kodax daemon start
+kodax daemon stop --profile default
+kodax --runtime-mode daemon
+kodax -p "Review this repository" --runtime-mode daemon
+```
+
+All CLI task forms now use the same Runtime path: interactive REPL, positional
+prompts, slash-command prompts, and `kodax -p`. Select the persistent default in
+`~/.kodax/config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "runtimeMode": "daemon"
+}
+```
+
+Resolution order is explicit CLI/SDK option > environment variable >
+`config.json` > built-in default (`embedded`). `KODAX_RUNTIME_MODE=daemon` is a
+temporary environment override. The same rule applies to other paired settings,
+for example `provider` ↔ `KODAX_PROVIDER` and `effort` ↔ `KODAX_EFFORT`.
+JSON names stay camelCase while environment names use `KODAX_UPPER_SNAKE_CASE`.
+
+By default, daemon state, config, and runtime session storage use the exact
+resolved `KODAX_HOME` (normally `<OS user home>/.kodax`), so CLI and SDK clients
+converge on the same local daemon even when `KODAX_HOME` is an arbitrary custom
+directory. The high-level `createKodaXRuntime({ mode: 'daemon' })` API starts or
+reuses that daemon unless you pass an explicit endpoint/transport or
+`autoStartDaemon: false`. An explicit `--home <dir>` or `homeDir` selects the
+isolated `<dir>/.kodax` namespace for tests, CI, or project-local experiments.
+
+**v0.7.71 packaged Electron patch:** packaged/asar Electron hosts can use daemon
+auto-start without relaunching the GUI. `ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE` is limited to a
+bootstrap-only child exec boundary and removed before daemon or ordinary user
+child code loads. The default-enabled Electron `RunAsNode` fuse is required;
+hosts that disable it must start the daemon through ordinary Node/KodaX CLI and
+connect in attach-only mode. For SDK calls, `homeDir` is the CLI-style base
+directory that owns `.kodax`, not the `.kodax` path itself.
+
+**v0.7.75 Windows GUI stabilization candidate:** Runtime Worker-reachable
+non-interactive subprocesses request hidden Windows consoles across memory/Git,
+provider CLI/ACP, LSP, clipboard, worktree, review, extension-command,
+checkpoint, and sandbox paths. Explicit editor, terminal, and PTY behavior is
+unchanged. The SDK bundle includes a static child-process audit and a packaged
+Electron 20-query console-visibility regression. Product-level packaged KodaX
+Space verification remains useful but does not gate SDK packaging or
+publication.
+
+The same candidate distinguishes optional post-completion offers from
+clarification required to finish the current request, emits budget-approval
+state only for eligible Sidecar revisions, and preserves structured blocked
+reasons across embedded and daemon Runtime boundaries.
+
+**v0.7.76 Kimi Code catalog refresh:** `kimi-code` now defaults to the official
+`k3-256k` Model ID and sends it unchanged. `kimi-for-coding` remains selectable
+for K2.7 Code, alongside `kimi-for-coding-highspeed` and the 1M `k3` tier. K3
+supports `low` / `high` / `max` reasoning with `high` as default; the 256K
+route supports image input but not video input.
+
+**v0.7.77 release:** AMA now chooses and composes six named
+problem-solving patterns through the existing Actor control plane instead of
+using a fixed topology or hidden Workflow. Optional strategy metadata becomes
+a bounded, fact-only `PatternTrace`; the existing Sidecar remains the only
+terminal-answer quality judge. Governed memory can also react sparsely after a
+tool failure, verification failure, or committed compaction and place at most
+three prompt-safe, low-authority evidence items before the next Action-LLM
+request. The default path adds no selector model call; SDK hosts may opt into
+`memoryRecallRunner` in process. Public `kimi` also gains the 1M `kimi-k3`
+route while retaining K2.7 Code as its default. See the
+[v0.7.77 design](docs/features/v0.7.77.md) and
+[release checklist](docs/release.md#v0777-release-ready-candidate-verification).
+The frozen F274/F275 paid evaluation completed with `recommend-ship` from the
+final F274 Layer 2/Layer 3 reviews and the F275 pilot review, followed by a
+joint `SHIP` decision for the deterministic contracts. Semantic memory
+selection remains experimental and host opt-in; no task-quality, token, or
+latency improvement is claimed.
+
+**v0.7.78 evidence-gated learning, setup, and permission/sandbox release:**
+Background learning is Memory-first. Only repeated independently verified
+evidence, or an explicit preserve-as-Skill request with verified terminal
+evidence, can admit a low-risk declarative Skill to a bounded immutable
+project canary; three exact-revision uses and independently verified success
+are required before automatic project trust. Every revision remains visible
+and reversible in `/learn`. Protected/formal Skills, global promotion, and
+Extension authoring remain explicit user actions.
+
+First-run setup now creates and validates the split core/MCP/Extensions/A2A
+files and annotated templates without overwriting existing configuration or
+collecting secrets. Auto[LLM] admits precisely modeled ordinary reads and
+workspace/temp mutations before classifier latency, retries classifier
+infrastructure failure once, then falls back at the Accept-edits boundary
+without switching to rules. ASRT is optional execution containment rather
+than permission authority; `/sandbox` is the explicit diagnostic surface, and
+SDK hosts can use the standalone `/sandbox` subpath without a silent
+unsandboxed fallback. KodaX's workspace containment denies reads from common
+home credential paths and the complete resolved agent home without turning
+ordinary external reads into an allowlist. See the
+[v0.7.78 design](docs/features/v0.7.78.md), the
+[release checklist](docs/release.md#v0778-release-verification), and
+[SDK guide sections 29–30](public_docs/sdk/embedder-guide.md#29-evidence-gated-background-skill-learning-feature_263-v0778).
+
+The release closure also preserves intent across adjacent surfaces: static
+Skill instructions load in Edit/Plan without granting later side effects,
+dynamic Skill commands require an explicit host-controlled executor, root AMA
+handles explicit remember/correct/forget requests immediately through the
+governed `memory_intent` control plane while exceptional or inferred changes
+remain reviewable, Workflow Actor waits remain
+unbounded unless the workflow sets a deadline, and Runtime Auto capability v4
+advertises `fallbackPersistsEngine:false` across embedded, Worker, and daemon
+hosts. Actor ownership additionally uses Runtime identity rather than PID alone,
+so PID reuse cannot pin a crashed owner. The resume Session picker also renders
+timestamps in the host's local timezone.
+
+**v0.7.79 release:** Configured outbound A2A Agents can persist two
+independent, default-deny network permissions: private-address access and
+non-loopback plaintext HTTP. The embedded Worker and shared daemon reconcile
+and execute the same authorized configuration. Runtime embedders also gain one
+authoritative Session status, bounded read-only diagnostics, byte-preserving
+Session export, strict transcript observation, a provenance-checked ordinary
+conversation projection, and bounded streaming-event coalescing with
+capability-gated idle daemon upgrade. Standalone child-process, Session lineage,
+shell cleanup, packaged sidecar, and parallel admission paths receive the
+corresponding release hardening.
+
+OpenAI-compatible custom providers can now choose `max_tokens` or
+`max_completion_tokens` per provider or model. DeepSeek V4 Flash and Pro use
+separate reasoning profiles and are advertised as text-only. See the
+[v0.7.79 design](docs/features/v0.7.79.md) and
+[release checklist](docs/release.md#v0779-release-preparation).
+FEATURE_280 was explicitly rescheduled to v0.7.81 (then to v0.7.86 on
+2026-08-04) and is not represented as shipped by this release.
+Issue 256 was explicitly rescheduled to v0.7.84 and is likewise not represented
+as shipped by this release.
+
+**v0.7.80 hardening release:** The CLI honors `worker.configuredA2A` in
+`~/.kodax/config.json`: the embedded Runtime becomes Worker-hosted and loads
+the configured A2A plane inside the Worker owner, so configured outbound
+Agents appear as `external:<name>` in `list_dispatchable_agents` and can be
+dispatched with `spawn_agent`. The mode rejects configured MCP servers or
+Extensions (they cannot cross the Worker boundary); use the default inline
+Runtime to retain those capabilities. Worker-hosted embedded CLI sessions also
+reduce run options to the JSON-safe wire DTO exactly like daemon mode instead of
+crashing with `RuntimeTransportBoundaryError`. Auto permission analysis no
+longer treats ordinary search scopes and tool metadata as unresolved, and a
+`max_tokens`-truncated classifier retry uses a 1024-token budget (Issue 275).
+Managed AMA turns now bound one uninterrupted tool loop by a 500-iteration
+panic fuse that resets on every idle-yield resume — a runaway-loop breaker,
+never a cumulative task budget — and a fused Runner fails with a structured
+`RunnerIterationLimitError` carrying the recovery transcript. Managed-run
+repetition loops are closed; parallel review and delegation guidance are
+restored and tightened. FEATURE_278/279/282/283/285 were explicitly
+rescheduled to v0.7.85, so v0.7.80 remains a debug/patch slot and no incomplete

+applying the same fail-closed replacement rule. Windows
+workspace Shell calls also preserve the case-insensitive `PATH`/`Path` contract,
+derive bounded PATH/executable read grants, and carry quoted `cmd.exe` arguments
+through the broker without re-parsing. Commands with the same canonical
+workspace, Agent Home, filesystem, toolchain, and network policy can share one
+Windows sandbox policy group across KodaX processes. The filesystem-effect
+coordinator now waits through its 30-second stale-owner proof window during a
+legitimate process handoff, without extending the one-second fail-closed
+boundary for conflicting effect categories. An incompatible policy or
+pre-start sandbox infrastructure failure returns the already-authorized command
+to normal permission execution; a command that started or may have started is
+never replayed. Runtime sandbox capability v3 fences upgrades from older daemon
+policy revisions. Issue

+
 The v0.7.77 release also adds an opt-in, host-configurable Shell Execution Contract.
-Runtime Session settings or an individual Run can select `pwsh`, Windows
-PowerShell, `cmd`, `bash`, `zsh`, or an explicit Git Bash executable; KodaX
-resolves the shell environment in the effective project cwd and then executes
-the command through that same interpreter. Resolved environments are isolated
-by contract and cwd, expire after a bounded TTL, and can be explicitly
-refreshed. Provider credentials and execution-control variables are removed
-before profile/setup code and again before the command starts. Credential-shaped
-variables are also filtered on the legacy platform-shell path; explicit names
-in user-level `sandbox.envPass` are restored only for the final command target.
-When `shellExecution` is absent, the established interpreter path is unchanged. See
-[SDK Embedder Guide section 28](docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md#28-host-configurable-shell-execution-contract-v0777)
-and the [Issue 214 regression guide](docs/test-guides/ISSUE_214_v0.7.77_REGRESSION_GUIDE.md).
-
-Kimi Code requests also receive a stable, opaque prompt-cache affinity key
-derived from the logical Runtime context. It is reused across Runs, retries,
-fallback, resume, and compaction; recursive child Agents receive distinct keys
-based on their canonical Agent path rather than their temporary transcript
-Session. Public Kimi and official OpenAI use the corresponding
-`prompt_cache_key` field, while other compatible gateways remain opt-in because
-some reject unknown request fields. This improves routing stability but cannot
-override Provider TTL or cache sharding. See the
-[Issue 215 regression guide](docs/test-guides/ISSUE_215_v0.7.77_REGRESSION_GUIDE.md).
-Codex CLI cache reads/writes and Gemini CLI cache reads now flow through the
-CLI bridge and Runtime diagnostics without estimation. A reported `0` remains
-distinct from an unreported field; see the
-[Issue 216 regression guide](docs/test-guides/ISSUE_216_v0.7.77_REGRESSION_GUIDE.md).
-The bridge also starts the first native CLI turn fresh, resumes only a native
-session ID reported by that CLI, creates fresh ACP sessions for stateless
-calls, recreates a closed pseudo transport, and validates the process exit even
-after a terminal CLI event. User cancellation stays quiet, while hard/idle
-timeout aborts remain failures eligible for Runtime recovery, and a CLI that
-reports success but never exits is terminated at its configured deadline; see the
-[Issue 217 regression guide](docs/test-guides/ISSUE_217_v0.7.77_REGRESSION_GUIDE.md).
-
-One daemon owns many sessions. Different sessions may run concurrently; starts
-within the same session are queued so that only one run is active for that
-session. Multiple `kodax` processes can attach to the same daemon and open or
-observe the same session. FEATURE_269 adds atomic snapshot-plus-stream joining,
-durable idempotent mutations, revision-safe settings and grants, transport-safe
-AskUser/permission responses, run-scoped credential and Host Tool bridges, and
-one daemon/inline Coder owner fence. In-flight external effects are never
-blindly replayed after a crash; clients receive explicit interrupted/unknown
-terminal facts and resync when `runtimeId` changes.
-
-Space and IDE hosts should require these capabilities through the Runtime SDK.
-Partner remains on its private inline Runtime and must use a distinct product
-data/session root. A missing daemon capability is an error, not permission to
-silently fall back to inline Coder.
-
-For the full host-integration contract, including inline/Worker/daemon selection,
-multi-client permission handling, config/catalog/MCP admin APIs, artifacts,
-context diagnostics, and daemon protocol schemas, see
-[docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md §17](docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md#17-runtime-sdk-worker-isolation-and-local-daemon-feature_253-feature_257).
-
-The Space/IDE shared-daemon contract is documented in
-[SDK Embedder Guide section 23](docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md#23-shared-coder-daemon-for-space-and-ide-hosts-feature_269-v0769).
-
-**v0.7.72–v0.7.73 Runtime permission contract:** Auto Mode is owned by the Runtime session,
-not by a UI hook. It reuses its LLM/rules guardrail across turns, classifies
-before the shared permission bridge, and persists explicit engine selection.
-The same session settings can select a classifier model and bounded
-timeout; `auto` defaults to LLM classification and fails with a recoverable
-configuration error when no effective classifier model exists, rather than
-silently falling back. In v0.7.78, classifier failures retry once and then use
-the Accept-edits safety boundary; they never change the engine to rules.
-Runtime permission prompts offer opaque, exact
-allow-once/session/persistent grant suggestions; persistent grants are
-daemon-owned and revisioned. Host plan exit is exposed only when the host
-supplies an approval callback. See the [Runtime Auto Mode integration guide](docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md#24-runtime-owned-auto-mode-and-plan-approval-bridges-v0772v0773).

-## Repo Intelligence
-
-KodaX ships with built-in repo intelligence (`repo_overview`, `module_context`, `symbol_context`, `process_context`, `impact_estimate`, and related tools) that helps the coding agent understand large codebases without ad-hoc grep/glob exploration.
-
-Use `/repo-intel status` in the REPL to inspect the active engine. The former standalone `repointel` host skill has been removed; repo intelligence is built into KodaX and requires no external installation.
-
-```bash
-# Pick a runtime mode (auto | full | light | off)
-kodax --repo-intelligence full --repo-intelligence-trace
-```
-
-## 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 12 SDK subpath exports (`/agent`, `/llm`, `/coding`, `/media`, `/repl`, `/skills`, `/mcp`, `/session`, `/runtime`, `/sandbox`, `/a2a`, `/experimental-memory`; ADR-024 + ADR-032 + ADR-038, with ADR-036 consolidation):

+after a terminal CLI event. User cancellation stays quiet, while hard/idle
+timeout aborts remain failures eligible for Runtime recovery, and a CLI that
+reports success but never exits is terminated at its configured deadline; see the
+[Issue 217 regression guide](docs/test-guides/ISSUE_217_v0.7.77_REGRESSION_GUIDE.md).
+
+One daemon owns many sessions. Different sessions may run concurrently; starts
+within the same session are queued so that only one run is active for that
+session. Multiple `kodax` processes can attach to the same daemon and open or
+observe the same session. FEATURE_269 adds atomic snapshot-plus-stream joining,
+durable idempotent mutations, revision-safe settings and grants, transport-safe
+AskUser/permission responses, run-scoped credential and Host Tool bridges, and
+one daemon/inline Coder owner fence. In-flight external effects are never
+blindly replayed after a crash; clients receive explicit interrupted/unknown
+terminal facts and resync when `runtimeId` changes.
+
+Space and IDE hosts should require these capabilities through the Runtime SDK.
+Partner remains on its private inline Runtime and must use a distinct product
+data/session root. A missing daemon capability is an error, not permission to
+silently fall back to inline Coder.
+
+For the full host-integration contract, including inline/Worker/daemon selection,
+multi-client permission handling, config/catalog/MCP admin APIs, artifacts,
+context diagnostics, and daemon protocol schemas, see
+[public_docs/sdk/embedder-guide.md §17](public_docs/sdk/embedder-guide.md#17-runtime-sdk-worker-isolation-and-local-daemon-feature_253-feature_257).
+
+The Space/IDE shared-daemon contract is documented in
+[SDK Embedder Guide section 23](public_docs/sdk/embedder-guide.md#23-shared-coder-daemon-for-space-and-ide-hosts-feature_269-v0769).
+
+**v0.7.72–v0.7.73 Runtime permission contract:** Auto Mode is owned by the Runtime session,
+not by a UI hook. It reuses its LLM/rules guardrail across turns, classifies
+before the shared permission bridge, and persists explicit engine selection.
+The same session settings can select a classifier model and bounded
+timeout; `auto` defaults to LLM classification and fails with a recoverable
+configuration error when no effective classifier model exists, rather than
+silently falling back. In v0.7.78, classifier failures retry once and then use
+the Accept-edits safety boundary; they never change the engine to rules.
+Runtime permission prompts offer opaque, exact
+allow-once/session/persistent grant suggestions; persistent grants are
+daemon-owned and revisioned. Host plan exit is exposed only when the host
+supplies an approval callback. See the [Runtime Auto Mode integration guide](public_docs/sdk/embedder-guide.md#24-runtime-owned-auto-mode-and-plan-approval-bridges-v0772v0773).
+
+## Repo Intelligence
+
+KodaX ships with built-in repo intelligence (`repo_overview`, `module_context`, `symbol_context`, `process_context`, `impact_estimate`, and related tools) that helps the coding agent understand large codebases without ad-hoc grep/glob exploration.
+
+Use `/repo-intel status` in the REPL to inspect the active engine. The former standalone `repointel` host skill has been removed; repo intelligence is built into KodaX and requires no external installation.
+
+```bash
+# Pick a runtime mode (auto | full | light | off)
+kodax --repo-intelligence full --repo-intelligence-trace
+```
+
+## 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 12 SDK subpath exports (`/agent`, `/llm`, `/coding`, `/media`, `/repl`, `/skills`, `/mcp`, `/session`, `/runtime`, `/sandbox`, `/a2a`, `/experimental-memory`; 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 (16 built-in provider aliases + custom registration) | @anthropic-ai/sdk, openai |
 | `@kodax-ai/agent` | Generic Agent framework — Runner, fan-out, idle-yield, media/input artifacts, session-lineage, capabilities (mcp + skills), tracing (ADR-036 v0.7.43 consolidation; subpaths: `/media`, `/session-lineage`, `/capabilities/mcp`, `/capabilities/skills`, `/tracing`) | @kodax-ai/llm, fflate, jimp, yaml |
-| `@kodax-ai/coding` | Coding Agent — 50+ tools (incl. canonical Actor collaboration tools) + 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 12 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.
-  - **Integration and narrow subpaths** (`/media`, `/skills`, `/mcp`, `/session`, `/runtime`, `/sandbox`, `/a2a`, `/experimental-memory`) — focused host surfaces. `/a2a` composes the neutral F258 plane with the Runtime facade; it does not add A2A wire types to `/agent`.
-
-| Source package | npm subpath | Type | What you get | Example consumer |
-|---|---|---|---|---|
-| `packages/llm`    | `@kodax-ai/kodax/llm`     | Full package | 16-alias LLM abstraction (108 exports) | Standalone LLM clients |
-| `packages/agent`  | `@kodax-ai/kodax/agent`   | Full package | Runner / fan-out / external-agent plane / session-lineage / capabilities / tracing (331 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` / ... (23 exports) | MCP server hosts |
-| `packages/agent`  | `@kodax-ai/kodax/media`   | **Narrow subset** | Structured image/file/video input-artifact helpers (22 exports) | Desktop hosts and multimodal clients |
-| `packages/agent`  | `@kodax-ai/kodax/experimental-memory` | **Experimental subset** | Thin F228-backed `MemoryAgent` / `MemorySession` contracts for scoped recall, deliberate query, observations, and outcomes | SDK hosts explicitly evaluating FEATURE_260 |
-| `packages/coding` | `@kodax-ai/kodax/coding`  | Full package | Coding agent + 50+ tools + repo-intelligence (505 exports) | Build a Claude Code-shape product |
-| `packages/repl`   | `@kodax-ai/kodax/repl`    | Full package | Ink TUI + permission modes + commands (217 exports) | Terminal-UI consumers |
-| `packages/repl`   | `@kodax-ai/kodax/session` | **Narrow subset** | Session management only — `listSessions` / `loadFullTranscript` / `appendClientNotice` / `forkSession` / `compactSession` / `watchSessions` / ... (17 exports) | IDE plugins and desktop hosts reading session history |
-| `src`             | `@kodax-ai/kodax/runtime` | Host API | Embedded/Worker/daemon runtime facade, sessions/runs/events/permissions/catalog/MCP/artifacts/diagnostics/external agents, daemon protocol schema (10 exports) | SDK hosts, Space/IDE clients, daemon clients |
-| `src`             | `@kodax-ai/kodax/sandbox` | Host API | Explicit ASRT capability/doctor/setup and host-owned contained command execution; unavailability never means silent ordinary execution | SDK hosts that need standalone process containment |
-| `src`             | `@kodax-ai/kodax/a2a` | Integration edge | A2A 1.0 Agent Card discovery, JSON-RPC/SSE F258 executor, safe fetch policy, and authenticated Runtime-backed Agent server | Agent orchestrators and KodaX hosts |
-
-**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; v0.7.63 hardening)**: 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 with typed entries (`message` / `compaction` / `branch_summary` / `rewind_marker` / `client_notice` / `task_result`) plus clone provenance (`logicalId` / `sourceEntryId`), `uiHistory` = optional replay cache, and tool cards can always be reconstructed from canonical messages. Hosts can persist local slash output with `appendClientNotice()` without entering model context, and workflow/child completions expose structured `taskResults[]` instead of requiring `<task-completed>` parsing. `rewind_marker` is an audit entry for host scrollback only and is excluded from model-context messages. **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).
-
-**Inline Workflow Authoring (FEATURE_246, v0.7.58; F270 update in v0.7.72)**: the Worker can author and run a workflow inline via the model-callable `run_workflow` tool when Workflow intent is explicit. It scouts the codebase first, bakes concrete findings into child prompts, and runs the script through the sandbox, static-validation, and postcondition-verification pipeline. F270 retires AMAW and complexity-driven activation; AMA keeps explicit `/workflow`, named/SDK, and natural-language Workflow requests. Workflow child Agents now run on the unified Actor control plane. See [docs/features/v0.7.58.md](docs/features/v0.7.58.md), [docs/features/v0.7.72.md](docs/features/v0.7.72.md), and ADR-044/046/047/048/049/055.
-
-**Historical Workflow Activation Tiers (FEATURE_248 + FEATURE_249, v0.7.59; superseded by F270 in v0.7.72)**: v0.7.59 introduced AMAW and explicit-request AMA behavior. F270 retires AMAW and its complexity-driven directive. SA remains solo; AMA is the single adaptive multi-Agent mode and activates Workflow only from explicit Workflow intent. See [docs/features/v0.7.59.md](docs/features/v0.7.59.md) and [docs/features/v0.7.72.md](docs/features/v0.7.72.md).
-
-**Progressive Disclosure on the Managed Tool Path (FEATURE_250, v0.7.60; current policy corrected in v0.7.74)**: the deferred-tool mechanism applies to the managed AMA path as well as SA. The current deferred set contains exactly 11 tools: six repo-intelligence tools, four web/code discovery tools, and `run_workflow`. Their `input_schema` remains directly callable while `tool_search` provides the full description on demand. The five fixed `mcp_*` facades and the `get_goal` / `create_goal` / `update_goal` lifecycle tools stay resident with their complete contracts. The v0.7.74 goal correction adds only about 109 estimated schema tokens versus the former hints (`get_goal` is actually 12 tokens smaller when resident), removes a discovery round trip, and changes no tool schema, handler, permission, goal state, or compaction-protection behavior. See [docs/features/v0.7.60.md](docs/features/v0.7.60.md) and [docs/features/v0.7.74.md](docs/features/v0.7.74.md#feature_250-v0774-correction-resident-goal-lifecycle-tools).
-
-**Context-Efficient Tool Results + Workflow Quality Preflight (FEATURE_251 + FEATURE_252, v0.7.61; corrected 2026-07-14)**: local tools collect complete output and apply only contract-equivalent normalization that is strictly shorter; command-specific lossy Bash filters are off by default, and compound Bash uses no semantic adapter. One owner evaluates the complete parallel-result batch against the final provider request: it solves the largest final input `Pmax` for which `Pmax + output reserve + max(2048, 3% of Pmax) <= context window`, then admits only the remaining physical capacity. Results stay verbatim whenever they fit; only real overflow persists the complete value and emits `KODAX_RESULT_INCOMPLETE`. History keeps the same physical-capacity safety rule: no default lossy microcompaction below capacity, summary-first at pressure, and typed failure without silent deletion when a recoverable request cannot be formed. FEATURE_272 supersedes FEATURE_251 only for the default major-compaction trigger. FEATURE_252's deterministic pre-start workflow contract lint is unchanged. See [docs/features/v0.7.61.md](docs/features/v0.7.61.md) and [docs/ADR.md ADR-050](docs/ADR.md).
-
-**Reliable Always-On Context Compaction (FEATURE_272, v0.7.74)**: automatic major compaction cannot be disabled. Its percentage trigger defaults to 75% and clamps to 15-90%; optional `triggerTokens` is inactive when omitted/zero, otherwise the smaller percentage, absolute, and physical-capacity threshold wins. The protected raw tail is 20% of that effective trigger. One transaction summarizes the complete eligible prefix, preserves every genuine user request through an exact ledger, and emits success only after a physically valid token reduction and awaited durable commit. Before raw bodies are evicted, the Session owner durably flushes their exact lineage; stable entry IDs merge the sidecar and slim Session without duplicates. Root and persistent child Agents can recover omitted user/assistant/tool details through bounded `session_history_search` → `session_history_read`, with children isolated to hidden worker Sessions and never granted root-history access. SDK/Runtime clients use revision-bound `transcriptSearch`, pages, and lossless chunks. Hidden reasoning, system instructions, and synthetic checkpoints are excluded from model search. See [the feature design](docs/features/v0.7.74.md), [SDK guide §25](docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md#25-always-on-context-compaction-and-bounded-transcript-recovery-v0774), and [ADR-057](docs/ADR.md#adr-057-large-compaction-is-an-always-on-context-scoped-full-coverage-transaction).
-
-**Mailbox-Driven Agent Coordination (FEATURE_273, v0.7.74)**: `wait_agent` is now a true model-facing mailbox yield with one bounded `timeout_ms`, not an Actor progress/event reader. It wakes for scoped Agent messages or completions, root user input, interruption, or timeout; progress remains available to UI/SDK snapshot, replay, and long-poll consumers without resampling the parent model. The tool returns only a wake acknowledgement, while authenticated Agent evidence and structured task metadata enter the next safe model boundary once. Unacknowledged root completions survive a hard restart, same-process Runtime rebuilds deduplicate by child turn ID, and acknowledged or legacy historical completions are not replayed. Use `list_agents` for tree state and `agent_output` for a targeted known result. See [the feature design](docs/features/v0.7.74.md#feature_273-mailbox-driven-agent-wait-and-telemetrycontrol-separation), [SDK guide §26](docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md#26-agent-mailbox-control-versus-sdk-event-telemetry-v0774), and [ADR-058](docs/ADR.md#adr-058-model-agent-wait-is-mailbox-control-not-event-telemetry).
-
-**Active-Run Interrupt Input (v0.7.74)**: embedded Runtime and the shared daemon advertise `interruptInput:1`. `runtime.runs.submitInput()` queues an immutable, ordered input for the current active Actor Run; all inputs admitted before one safe Runner boundary are delivered FIFO as separate user messages in the next LLM request, without creating continuation Runs. Queued/delivered state is visible in typed Run snapshots/events, delivery is acknowledged against the exact consumed IDs, and terminal cleanup prevents undelivered input from leaking into later Runs.
-
-**External Agent SDK Plane (FEATURE_258, v0.7.67)**: `/agent` exports the protocol-neutral executor, registration, policy, credential-broker, artifact-policy, catalog, and durable task contracts. `/runtime` exposes the installed plane through `admin.agentRegistrations`, `agents`, and `agentTasks`, with the same DTO service methods over embedded and daemon clients. Executor factories are host functions: install them in an inline owner or while creating a new in-process daemon owner; they cannot be injected through an existing daemon connection or across a Runtime Worker boundary. Plane shutdown is terminal: pending waits and all later service calls reject. Restricted Workflow scripts preserve validated `phase` and external `target` routing. See the [complete owner/consumer recipes and safety contract](docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md#18-external-agent-executor-plane-feature_258-v0767).
-
-**Cost-Disciplined Workflow SDK (FEATURE_259, v0.7.67)**: SDK callers configure run-scoped `modelTiers` and `workflow.maxConcurrency`, while workflow authors express semantic `fast` / `balanced` / `deep` intent. Terminal workflow events expose resolved tier/source/fallback/usage/duration facts, and each durable `run.json` contains an `efficiencyReport` with token coverage, role/tier starts, packet-read topology, review waves, and quality-gate outcomes. See the [routing and telemetry contract](docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md#20-cost-disciplined-workflow-routing-and-telemetry-feature_259-v0767).
-
-**Paged Session Listing (FEATURE_261, v0.7.67)**: both `/session` `listSessions()` and `runtime.sessions.list()` accept an exact `surface` filter and opaque continuation `cursor`; each returned summary carries the cursor for the next page. Filtering happens before the page limit, so a host does not need to over-fetch mixed surfaces. See the [pagination recipes](docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md#19-session-surface-filtering-and-cursor-pagination-feature_261-v0767).
-
-**Experimental Memory Agent SDK (FEATURE_260, v0.7.68)**: `/experimental-memory` exposes the thin agent-layer `MemoryAgent` and scoped `MemorySession` lifecycle over the existing governed F228 plane. Passive recall is zero-wait; `query()` is read-only and deliberate; durable changes still require the proposal/preview/fingerprint/apply path. The Action LLM remains the final decision maker, recalled content stays low-authority, and safety/scope gates remain deterministic. See the [direct session and boundary guide](docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md#21-experimental-governed-memory--experimental-memory-feature_260-v0768).
-
-**Bidirectional A2A 1.0 (FEATURE_267, v0.7.69)**: `/a2a` discovers allowed Agent Cards and installs a JSON-RPC/SSE executor through the existing F258 plane. Configured outbound Agents are also registered automatically as `external:<name>` in embedded CLI and user-daemon Runtimes, so the main Agent can orchestrate them without host code. One `a2a.json` may hold many outbound registrations and at most one inbound server, which publishes either the Runtime default or one validated `~/.kodax/agents/*.md` Agent behind an authenticated Runtime facade. The built-in listener is loopback-only and will not return a port blocked by Fetch-compatible clients; public deployment uses `handle()` behind host-owned TLS and authorization. A2A 0.3, gRPC, HTTP+JSON, push notifications, and automatic public exposure are not advertised. See the [client/server recipes and security boundaries](docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md#22-bidirectional-a2a-10--a2a-feature_267-v0769).
-
-**A2A interoperability and authentication hardening** keeps a discovered
-interface on the trusted Agent Card origin and sends credentials only when one
-complete Card/Skill security requirement is satisfiable. The no-code client
-supports HTTP Bearer compatibility and OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials; for OAuth,
-an external Authorization Server issues short-lived access tokens and KodaX
-caches them only in memory. Inbound `a2a serve` can validate RFC 9068 JWT access
-tokens from an external issuer/JWKS, but never signs or issues production
-tokens itself. It resolves its provider from CLI, then environment, config, and
-the built-in default; a Markdown Agent can pin its own provider. Input
-continuation resumes the original Runtime run, task history and retention are
-bounded with stable cursor pagination, and authenticated SSE is correlated
-before falling back to polling after an early normal EOF. Only direct remote
-artifacts, broker-staged outputs, and outputs from a successfully admitted
-Skill script can be published; ordinary workspace writes and local paths stay
-private.
-
-This authentication and per-Agent activation hardening is a post-release
-closure of the v0.7.69 F267/F268 design and ships in the v0.7.71 patch; it is
-not a claim that older v0.7.69 binaries contained the
-later OAuth profiles.
-
-**v0.7.70 MCP discovery hardening** uses exact capability IDs and revisioned
-cursors while admitting results against real physical capacity. Compact CJK
-queries are segmented, and a cross-language lexical zero match either returns a
-lossless bounded grouped inventory or one concise retry in the catalog language.
-Partial provider failure remains explicit rather than disappearing into an
-apparently complete result.
-
-The complete built-in path is available without writing TypeScript:
-
-```bash
-# Call another A2A Agent
-kodax a2a add research https://agent.example/.well-known/agent-card.json --effect read
-kodax a2a test research
-kodax a2a call research "Summarize this topic"
-
-# Explicitly authorize a private plaintext endpoint (prefer HTTPS when available)
-kodax a2a add intranet http://10.20.30.40/.well-known/agent-card.json \
-  --allow-private --allow-insecure-http --effect read
-
-# Stage an OAuth-protected Agent, then hot-activate/deactivate it
-export RESEARCH_A2A_CLIENT_SECRET='provisioned-by-your-authorization-server'
-# PowerShell: $env:RESEARCH_A2A_CLIENT_SECRET='provisioned-by-your-authorization-server'
-# PowerShell: run the command on one line or replace each trailing \ with a backtick.
-kodax a2a add reviewer https://reviewer.example/.well-known/agent-card.json \
-  --disabled --effect read --oauth-scheme enterprise-oauth \
-  --oauth-issuer https://identity.example/ \
-  --oauth-token-url https://identity.example/oauth/token \
-  --oauth-client-id kodax-reviewer \
-  --oauth-client-secret-env RESEARCH_A2A_CLIENT_SECRET \
-  --oauth-scope a2a.invoke --oauth-resource https://reviewer.example/
-kodax a2a enable reviewer
-kodax a2a disable reviewer       # blocks new dispatch; does not cancel in-flight tasks
-
-# Expose the Runtime default Agent, or pass a name from ~/.kodax/agents/*.md
-export KODAX_A2A_TOKEN='replace-with-a-long-random-token'
-# PowerShell: $env:KODAX_A2A_TOKEN='replace-with-a-long-random-token'
-kodax a2a expose                 # or: kodax a2a expose document-agent
-kodax a2a serve                  # loopback http://127.0.0.1:8765
-```
-
-MCP, A2A, and Extension declarations live in one user file per domain under
-`~/.kodax/integrations/`. Use `kodax config paths`,
-`kodax config template <core|mcp|a2a|extensions>`,
-`kodax integrations migrate --apply`, and the `kodax mcp`, `kodax a2a`, or
-`kodax extensions` commands to manage them. Migration imports only legacy
-`config.json#mcpServers` and `config.json#extensions`; A2A has no legacy source.
-It never overwrites an existing destination. The first MCP/Extension mutation
-can stage legacy entries. Remove legacy keys only with
-`--apply --cleanup-legacy`, after reviewing destination files and
-literal-secret warnings. Running
-CLI/daemon hosts retain the
-last valid revision, atomically replace the complete MCP provider, reconcile
-Extensions per entry, and hot-register outbound A2A Agents. Each A2A entry has
-a desired `enabled` switch; `kodax a2a list` shows configuration, while the
-owning Runtime is authoritative for live applied registrations. Disabled
-entries are not fetched during automatic reconciliation and, after the owning
-Runtime applies the revision, cannot accept new dispatch. The mutation command
-itself is not cross-process acknowledgement. `a2a add --disabled` still checks
-the Card by default unless `--no-test` is supplied, while `a2a test` performs
-discovery/security planning without requesting an OAuth token. The fixed
-`KODAX_A2A_TOKEN` example is an operator-provisioned compatibility credential;
-KodaX does not generate or issue it. Disabled entries remain available for
-later re-enable. Private-address access and non-loopback plaintext HTTP are
-independent, persisted, default-deny permissions (`--allow-private` and
-`--allow-insecure-http`); exact loopback HTTP remains available without either.
-OAuth token endpoints retain their stricter HTTPS-or-exact-loopback rule.
-Worker-hosted SDK Runtimes can load this same configured plane inside the Worker
-owner with `worker: { configuredA2A: true }`. The CLI honors the same opt-in
-from `~/.kodax/config.json` (`"worker": { "configuredA2A": true }`) by creating
-a Worker-hosted embedded Runtime that loads the configured A2A plane. `a2a serve` loads
-its configured MCP/Extension capability surface before listening and pins that
-execution authority; it hot-reloads publication, authentication, and limits.
-
-A2A configuration migration and retained task ownership are separate. If a
-v0.7.70 task store must remain addressable after the realm-aware upgrade, stop
-the A2A server, run `kodax a2a migrate-tasks` to inspect the exact-owner plan,
-then apply it with `--apply --confirm-server-stopped`. OAuth migration also
-requires the known historical `--subject`; normal serving never guesses or
-dual-reads a legacy owner key.
-
-Agent, Skill, Extension-tool authority, workspace, tool-policy, or task-store
-changes require an explicit server restart. Managed
-A2A contexts default to `~/kodax_a2a_server_workspace/<runtime-profile>/contexts/`.
-Exact Skill scripts require the opt-in isolated policy and a passing
-`kodax sandbox doctor` (`kodax sandbox setup` performs the explicit Windows
-one-time provisioning).

-## Features
-
-- **Modular Architecture** - Use as CLI, as a library, or as a Node-free single binary
-- **16 Built-in Provider Aliases** - Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Kimi, Kimi Code, Qwen, Qwen Token Plan, Zhipu, Zhipu Coding, Zai 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. Adaptive child steering uses the canonical Actor collaboration tools with idle-yield waiting; specialist routing uses `spawn_agent(agent_id=...)`.
-- **Reasoning Effort** - Effort-first control (`off/auto/low/medium/high` plus model-supported extras) 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** - Built-in full/light repository intelligence 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
-├── provider-capabilities.json
-├── semantic-worker.js             # Repo-intelligence Worker
-├── runtime-worker.js              # SDK Runtime Worker
-└── constructed-handler-worker.js  # Constructed-tool Worker
-```
-
-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',
-  effort: '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 (16 aliases)
-import { runKodaX } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/coding';              // coding tools + prompts
-import { createImageArtifactFromPath } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/media'; // input artifacts
-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
-import { createKodaXRuntime } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/runtime';   // embedded/daemon runtime API
-import { runKodaXSandboxed } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/sandbox';    // standalone ASRT containment
-import { createKodaXA2AServer } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/a2a';    // A2A 1.0 client/server edge
-import { createMemoryAgent } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/experimental-memory'; // opt-in memory SDK
-```
-
-All 13 SDK entries (root + 12 subpaths) share internal code via ESM chunk splitting — importing from `/agent` does not pull in `/repl`'s Ink + React surface.
-
-For the complete host-facing contract — including embedded/Worker/daemon ownership,
-external-agent registration and task control, session cursor pagination, workflow
-model-tier routing, and efficiency telemetry — see the
-[SDK Embedder Integration Guide](docs/SDK_EMBEDDER_GUIDE.md).
-
-> **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 higher reasoning effort
-kodax --effort high "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 -r                    # Search, page, and select a non-empty session
-kodax -r <session-id>       # Resume a known session directly
-kodax -r "Review runtime"   # Resume a unique exact title; duplicates open the picker
-kodax --session list        # List up to 50 non-empty sessions
-kodax --session cleanup-acp # Preview strictly matched empty ACP-test pollution
-```
-
-Bare `-r` opens an interactive picker with incremental search, arrow/PageUp/PageDown
-navigation, Tab completion, full selected-session ID display, and Enter-to-resume.
-An explicit value checks the complete session ID first, then an exact
-case-insensitive title; duplicate titles open a narrowed picker instead of
-silently choosing one. The picker loads before the full CLI, so session listing
-remains responsive. After selection it hands terminal input to the resumed
-REPL; Esc releases the picker's stdin ownership and immediately returns to the
-invoking shell. Session replay preserves each recorded message/event timestamp.
-
-Cleanup is preview-only unless
-`--apply-session-cleanup` is also provided; matching sessions are archived rather
-than permanently deleted.
-
-### 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 non-empty conversation in this directory
--r, --resume [value] Resume by ID/exact title, or open the searchable picker
--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` | Runtime-owned LLM/rules classification within the project boundary | Only explicit classifier escalation |
-
-```bash
-# In REPL, use /mode command
-/mode plan          # Switch to plan mode (read-only)
-/mode accept-edits  # Switch to accept-edits mode
-/mode auto             # Switch to Runtime-owned Auto Mode
-/auto                  # Alias for auto
-
-# 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
-- Sensitive/protected or unresolved targets enter Auto[LLM]/approval review;
-  ordinary reads outside the project are allowed
-- Pattern-based permission: Allow specific Bash commands (e.g., `Bash(npm install)`)
-- Unified diff display for write/edit operations
-- Auto Mode first admits exactly modeled safe reads and workspace/temp
-  mutations without classifier latency. Remaining actions are reviewed against
-  bounded user intent and exact operation facts; a safe verdict creates no
-  pending approval request. Classifier failures retry once, then use the
-  Accept-edits safety boundary rather than silently switching to Auto[rules].
-- Shift-Tab cycles `Plan -> Edits -> Auto`; Shift+Enter inserts a newline. Auto
-  immediately displays `Auto[LLM]` or `Auto[RULES]`, and rapid mode changes are
-  persisted in input order. `Auto[RULES]` remains an explicit/manual engine;
-  use `/auto-engine llm` to select LLM classification.
-- Runtime-backed prompts can offer exact `allow once`, `allow this session`,
-  and `always allow` choices. Return the Runtime-issued opaque suggestion;
-  never derive or widen a permission rule from the displayed command or path.
-  Persistent grants are daemon-owned, revisioned, and can be listed/revoked
-  through `runtime.permissions` by an authorized SDK host. Dynamic shell
-  commands deliberately receive no persistent-grant suggestion.
-
-`kodax -c` skips zero-message ACP/bootstrap placeholders even when they are
-newer than the last real conversation. The same newest non-empty rule applies
-to Ink, classic, one-shot CLI, and coding-runtime auto-resume; an explicit
-session ID always wins. Interactive resume also restores the saved workspace
-runtime before relative shell commands or the next model turn.
-

-
-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 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.
-
-SDK/headless hosts can observe actionable Sidecar Verifier messages via
-`KodaXEvents.onSidecarMessage`; JSONL output emits the same payload as
-`sidecar.message`. Only `revise` and `blocked` verdicts are surfaced; `accept`
-stays silent.
-
-## 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}: ${result.content.slice(0, 100)}`),
-  onSidecarMessage: (event) => console.log(`[sidecar:${event.verdict}] ${event.content}`),
-  onComplete: () => console.log('\nDone!'),
-  onError: (e) => console.error(e.message),
-};
-
-const result = await runKodaX({
-  provider: 'zhipu-coding',
-  effort: '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',
-  effort: '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(),
-  },

-## SDK Usage
-
-KodaX ships as a single npm package `@kodax-ai/kodax` with 12 SDK subpath exports (ADR-024 v0.7.39 + ADR-032 v0.7.42 + ADR-038 v0.7.49 + v0.7.56 `/media` + v0.7.64 `/runtime` + v0.7.68 `/experimental-memory` + v0.7.69 `/a2a` + v0.7.78 `/sandbox`). 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';                // 16-alias LLM abstraction
-import { KODAX_TOOLS } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/coding';             // tools + prompts + agent loop
-import { createImageArtifactFromPath } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/media'; // input artifact helpers
-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
-import { createKodaXRuntime } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/runtime';     // embedded/daemon runtime API
-import { runKodaXSandboxed } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/sandbox';      // explicit standalone containment
-import { createKodaXA2AServer } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/a2a';      // A2A 1.0 client/server edge
-import { createMemoryAgent } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/experimental-memory'; // opt-in experimental memory SDK
-```
-
-> 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
-
-16 built-in provider aliases (Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Kimi, Kimi-Code, Qwen, Qwen-Token-Plan, Zhipu, Zhipu-Coding, Zai-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') { /* … */ }
-  else if (result.type === 'tool_use') { /* … */ }
-}
-```
-
-**Key Features**: unified provider interface · streaming · reasoning effort (`off/auto/low/medium/high` plus model-supported extras) · per-provider retry + error handling · zero business-logic dependencies.
-
-### `@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,
-  createAgentActorController,
-  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),
-});
-
-// Runtime-owned Actor identity tree (inject an executor before starting Turns)
-const actors = await createAgentActorController();
-const tree = actors.list('/root');
-
-// Pluggable compaction policy (FEATURE_081)
-const policy = new DefaultSummaryCompaction({ thresholdRatio: 0.8, keepRecent: 10 });
-```
-
-`DefaultSummaryCompaction` is a standalone agent-layer primitive for custom
-loops. It does not replace or disable KodaX's always-on coding-runtime policy
-described under FEATURE_272 above.

+| `@kodax-ai/coding` | Coding Agent — 50+ tools (incl. canonical Actor collaboration tools) + role prompts + auto-continue + repo-intelligence protocol | @kodax-ai/llm, @kodax-ai/agent |

+
+### 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 12 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.
+  - **Integration and narrow subpaths** (`/media`, `/skills`, `/mcp`, `/session`, `/runtime`, `/sandbox`, `/a2a`, `/experimental-memory`) — focused host surfaces. `/a2a` composes the neutral F258 plane with the Runtime facade; it does not add A2A wire types to `/agent`.
+
+| Source package | npm subpath | Type | What you get | Example consumer |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `packages/llm`    | `@kodax-ai/kodax/llm`     | Full package | 16-alias LLM abstraction (108 exports) | Standalone LLM clients |
+| `packages/agent`  | `@kodax-ai/kodax/agent`   | Full package | Runner / fan-out / external-agent plane / session-lineage / capabilities / tracing (331 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` / ... (23 exports) | MCP server hosts |
+| `packages/agent`  | `@kodax-ai/kodax/media`   | **Narrow subset** | Structured image/file/video input-artifact helpers (22 exports) | Desktop hosts and multimodal clients |
+| `packages/agent`  | `@kodax-ai/kodax/experimental-memory` | **Experimental subset** | Thin F228-backed `MemoryAgent` / `MemorySession` lifecycle plus additive `MemoryManagementAgent` list/remember/forget | SDK hosts explicitly evaluating FEATURE_260 / FEATURE_292 |
+| `packages/coding` | `@kodax-ai/kodax/coding`  | Full package | Coding agent + 50+ tools + repo-intelligence (505 exports) | Build a Claude Code-shape product |
+| `packages/repl`   | `@kodax-ai/kodax/repl`    | Full package | Ink TUI + permission modes + commands (217 exports) | Terminal-UI consumers |
+| `packages/repl`   | `@kodax-ai/kodax/session` | **Narrow subset** | Session management only — `listSessions` / `loadFullTranscript` / `appendClientNotice` / `forkSession` / `compactSession` / `watchSessions` / ... (17 exports) | IDE plugins and desktop hosts reading session history |
+| `src`             | `@kodax-ai/kodax/runtime` | Host API | Embedded/Worker/daemon runtime facade, sessions/runs/events/permissions/catalog/MCP/artifacts/diagnostics/external agents, daemon protocol schema (10 exports) | SDK hosts, Space/IDE clients, daemon clients |
+| `src`             | `@kodax-ai/kodax/sandbox` | Host API | Explicit ASRT capability/doctor/setup and host-owned contained command execution; unavailability never means silent ordinary execution | SDK hosts that need standalone process containment |
+| `src`             | `@kodax-ai/kodax/a2a` | Integration edge | A2A 1.0 Agent Card discovery, JSON-RPC/SSE F258 executor, safe fetch policy, and authenticated Runtime-backed Agent server | Agent orchestrators and KodaX hosts |
+
+**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; v0.7.63 hardening)**: 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 with typed entries (`message` / `compaction` / `branch_summary` / `rewind_marker` / `client_notice` / `task_result`) plus clone provenance (`logicalId` / `sourceEntryId`), `uiHistory` = optional replay cache, and tool cards can always be reconstructed from canonical messages. Hosts can persist local slash output with `appendClientNotice()` without entering model context, and workflow/child completions expose structured `taskResults[]` instead of requiring `<task-completed>` parsing. `rewind_marker` is an audit entry for host scrollback only and is excluded from model-context messages. **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).
+
+**Inline Workflow Authoring (FEATURE_246, v0.7.58; F270 update in v0.7.72)**: the Worker can author and run a workflow inline via the model-callable `run_workflow` tool when Workflow intent is explicit. It scouts the codebase first, bakes concrete findings into child prompts, and runs the script through the sandbox, static-validation, and postcondition-verification pipeline. F270 retires AMAW and complexity-driven activation; AMA keeps explicit `/workflow`, named/SDK, and natural-language Workflow requests. Workflow child Agents now run on the unified Actor control plane. See [docs/features/v0.7.58.md](docs/features/v0.7.58.md), [docs/features/v0.7.72.md](docs/features/v0.7.72.md), and ADR-044/046/047/048/049/055.
+
+**Historical Workflow Activation Tiers (FEATURE_248 + FEATURE_249, v0.7.59; superseded by F270 in v0.7.72)**: v0.7.59 introduced AMAW and explicit-request AMA behavior. F270 retires AMAW and its complexity-driven directive. SA remains solo; AMA is the single adaptive multi-Agent mode and activates Workflow only from explicit Workflow intent. See [docs/features/v0.7.59.md](docs/features/v0.7.59.md) and [docs/features/v0.7.72.md](docs/features/v0.7.72.md).
+
+**Progressive Disclosure on the Managed Tool Path (FEATURE_250, v0.7.60; current policy corrected in v0.7.74)**: the deferred-tool mechanism applies to the managed AMA path as well as SA. The current deferred set contains exactly 11 tools: six repo-intelligence tools, four web/code discovery tools, and `run_workflow`. Their `input_schema` remains directly callable while `tool_search` provides the full description on demand. The five fixed `mcp_*` facades and the `get_goal` / `create_goal` / `update_goal` lifecycle tools stay resident with their complete contracts. The v0.7.74 goal correction adds only about 109 estimated schema tokens versus the former hints (`get_goal` is actually 12 tokens smaller when resident), removes a discovery round trip, and changes no tool schema, handler, permission, goal state, or compaction-protection behavior. See [docs/features/v0.7.60.md](docs/features/v0.7.60.md) and [docs/features/v0.7.74.md](docs/features/v0.7.74.md#feature_250-v0774-correction-resident-goal-lifecycle-tools).
+
+**Context-Efficient Tool Results + Workflow Quality Preflight (FEATURE_251 + FEATURE_252, v0.7.61; corrected 2026-07-14)**: local tools collect complete output and apply only contract-equivalent normalization that is strictly shorter; command-specific lossy Bash filters are off by default, and compound Bash uses no semantic adapter. One owner evaluates the complete parallel-result batch against the final provider request: it solves the largest final input `Pmax` for which `Pmax + output reserve + max(2048, 3% of Pmax) <= context window`, then admits only the remaining physical capacity. Results stay verbatim whenever they fit; only real overflow persists the complete value and emits `KODAX_RESULT_INCOMPLETE`. History keeps the same physical-capacity safety rule: no default lossy microcompaction below capacity, summary-first at pressure, and typed failure without silent deletion when a recoverable request cannot be formed. FEATURE_272 supersedes FEATURE_251 only for the default major-compaction trigger. FEATURE_252's deterministic pre-start workflow contract lint is unchanged. See [docs/features/v0.7.61.md](docs/features/v0.7.61.md) and [docs/ADR.md ADR-050](docs/ADR.md).
+
+**Reliable Always-On Context Compaction (FEATURE_272, v0.7.74)**: automatic major compaction cannot be disabled. Its percentage trigger defaults to 75% and clamps to 15-90%; optional `triggerTokens` is inactive when omitted/zero, otherwise the smaller percentage, absolute, and physical-capacity threshold wins. The protected raw tail is 20% of that effective trigger. One transaction summarizes the complete eligible prefix, preserves every genuine user request through an exact ledger, and emits success only after a physically valid token reduction and awaited durable commit. Before raw bodies are evicted, the Session owner durably flushes their exact lineage; stable entry IDs merge the sidecar and slim Session without duplicates. Root and persistent child Agents can recover omitted user/assistant/tool details through bounded `session_history_search` → `session_history_read`, with children isolated to hidden worker Sessions and never granted root-history access. SDK/Runtime clients use revision-bound `transcriptSearch`, pages, and lossless chunks. Hidden reasoning, system instructions, and synthetic checkpoints are excluded from model search. See [the feature design](docs/features/v0.7.74.md), [SDK guide §25](public_docs/sdk/embedder-guide.md#25-always-on-context-compaction-and-bounded-transcript-recovery-v0774), and [ADR-057](docs/ADR.md#adr-057-large-compaction-is-an-always-on-context-scoped-full-coverage-transaction).
+
+**Mailbox-Driven Agent Coordination (FEATURE_273, v0.7.74)**: `wait_agent` is now a true model-facing mailbox yield with one bounded `timeout_ms`, not an Actor progress/event reader. It wakes for scoped Agent messages or completions, root user input, interruption, or timeout; progress remains available to UI/SDK snapshot, replay, and long-poll consumers without resampling the parent model. The tool returns only a wake acknowledgement, while authenticated Agent evidence and structured task metadata enter the next safe model boundary once. Unacknowledged root completions survive a hard restart, same-process Runtime rebuilds deduplicate by child turn ID, and acknowledged or legacy historical completions are not replayed. Use `list_agents` for tree state and `agent_output` for a targeted known result. See [the feature design](docs/features/v0.7.74.md#feature_273-mailbox-driven-agent-wait-and-telemetrycontrol-separation), [SDK guide §26](public_docs/sdk/embedder-guide.md#26-agent-mailbox-control-versus-sdk-event-telemetry-v0774), and [ADR-058](docs/ADR.md#adr-058-model-agent-wait-is-mailbox-control-not-event-telemetry).
+
+**Active-Run Interrupt Input (v0.7.74)**: embedded Runtime and the shared daemon advertise `interruptInput:1`. `runtime.runs.submitInput()` queues an immutable, ordered input for the current active Actor Run; all inputs admitted before one safe Runner boundary are delivered FIFO as separate user messages in the next LLM request, without creating continuation Runs. Queued/delivered state is visible in typed Run snapshots/events, delivery is acknowledged against the exact consumed IDs, and terminal cleanup prevents undelivered input from leaking into later Runs.
+
+**External Agent SDK Plane (FEATURE_258, v0.7.67)**: `/agent` exports the protocol-neutral executor, registration, policy, credential-broker, artifact-policy, catalog, and durable task contracts. `/runtime` exposes the installed plane through `admin.agentRegistrations`, `agents`, and `agentTasks`, with the same DTO service methods over embedded and daemon clients. Executor factories are host functions: install them in an inline owner or while creating a new in-process daemon owner; they cannot be injected through an existing daemon connection or across a Runtime Worker boundary. Plane shutdown is terminal: pending waits and all later service calls reject. Restricted Workflow scripts preserve validated `phase` and external `target` routing. See the [complete owner/consumer recipes and safety contract](public_docs/sdk/embedder-guide.md#18-external-agent-executor-plane-feature_258-v0767).
+
+**Cost-Disciplined Workflow SDK (FEATURE_259, v0.7.67)**: SDK callers configure run-scoped `modelTiers` and `workflow.maxConcurrency`, while workflow authors express semantic `fast` / `balanced` / `deep` intent. Terminal workflow events expose resolved tier/source/fallback/usage/duration facts, and each durable `run.json` contains an `efficiencyReport` with token coverage, role/tier starts, packet-read topology, review waves, and quality-gate outcomes. See the [routing and telemetry contract](public_docs/sdk/embedder-guide.md#20-cost-disciplined-workflow-routing-and-telemetry-feature_259-v0767).
+
+**Paged Session Listing (FEATURE_261, v0.7.67)**: both `/session` `listSessions()` and `runtime.sessions.list()` accept an exact `surface` filter and opaque continuation `cursor`; each returned summary carries the cursor for the next page. Filtering happens before the page limit, so a host does not need to over-fetch mixed surfaces. See the [pagination recipes](public_docs/sdk/embedder-guide.md#19-session-surface-filtering-and-cursor-pagination-feature_261-v0767).
+
+**Experimental Memory Agent SDK (FEATURE_260 + FEATURE_292)**: `/experimental-memory` exposes the source-compatible `MemoryAgent`/`MemorySession` lifecycle plus the additive `MemoryManagementAgent` facade when `createMemoryAgent()` receives a `MemoryManagementController`. That facade provides governed `list()`, `remember()`, and `forget()` through the same plane used by the conversation-first product surface. Passive recall is zero-wait; `query()` is read-only and deliberate; recalled content stays low-authority, and safety/scope gates remain deterministic. See the [direct session and boundary guide](public_docs/sdk/embedder-guide.md#21-experimental-governed-memory--experimental-memory-feature_260--feature_275--feature_292-v0768v0785).
+
+**Bidirectional A2A 1.0 (FEATURE_267, v0.7.69)**: `/a2a` discovers allowed Agent Cards and installs a JSON-RPC/SSE executor through the existing F258 plane. Configured outbound Agents are also registered automatically as `external:<name>` in embedded CLI and user-daemon Runtimes, so the main Agent can orchestrate them without host code. One `a2a.json` may hold many outbound registrations and at most one inbound server, which publishes either the Runtime default or one validated `~/.kodax/agents/*.md` Agent behind an authenticated Runtime facade. The built-in listener is loopback-only and will not return a port blocked by Fetch-compatible clients; public deployment uses `handle()` behind host-owned TLS and authorization. A2A 0.3, gRPC, HTTP+JSON, push notifications, and automatic public exposure are not advertised. See the [client/server recipes and security boundaries](public_docs/sdk/embedder-guide.md#22-bidirectional-a2a-10--a2a-feature_267-v0769).
+
+**A2A interoperability and authentication hardening** keeps a discovered
+interface on the trusted Agent Card origin and sends credentials only when one
+complete Card/Skill security requirement is satisfiable. The no-code client
+supports HTTP Bearer compatibility and OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials; for OAuth,
+an external Authorization Server issues short-lived access tokens and KodaX
+caches them only in memory. Inbound `a2a serve` can validate RFC 9068 JWT access
+tokens from an external issuer/JWKS, but never signs or issues production
+tokens itself. It resolves its provider from CLI, then environment, config, and
+the built-in default; a Markdown Agent can pin its own provider. Input
+continuation resumes the original Runtime run, task history and retention are
+bounded with stable cursor pagination, and authenticated SSE is correlated
+before falling back to polling after an early normal EOF. Only direct remote
+artifacts, broker-staged outputs, and outputs from a successfully admitted
+Skill script can be published; ordinary workspace writes and local paths stay
+private.
+
+This authentication and per-Agent activation hardening is a post-release
+closure of the v0.7.69 F267/F268 design and ships in the v0.7.71 patch; it is
+not a claim that older v0.7.69 binaries contained the
+later OAuth profiles.
+
+**v0.7.70 MCP discovery hardening** uses exact capability IDs and revisioned
+cursors while admitting results against real physical capacity. Compact CJK
+queries are segmented, and a cross-language lexical zero match either returns a
+lossless bounded grouped inventory or one concise retry in the catalog language.
+Partial provider failure remains explicit rather than disappearing into an
+apparently complete result.
+
+The complete built-in path is available without writing TypeScript:
+
+```bash
+# Call another A2A Agent
+kodax a2a add research https://agent.example/.well-known/agent-card.json --effect read

+kodax a2a serve                  # loopback http://127.0.0.1:8765
+```
+
+MCP, A2A, and Extension declarations live in one user file per domain under
+`~/.kodax/integrations/`. Use `kodax config paths`,
+`kodax config template <core|mcp|a2a|extensions>`,
+`kodax integrations migrate --apply`, and the `kodax mcp`, `kodax a2a`, or
+`kodax extensions` commands to manage them. Migration imports only legacy
+`config.json#mcpServers` and `config.json#extensions`; A2A has no legacy source.
+It never overwrites an existing destination. The first MCP/Extension mutation
+can stage legacy entries. Remove legacy keys only with
+`--apply --cleanup-legacy`, after reviewing destination files and
+literal-secret warnings. Running
+CLI/daemon hosts retain the
+last valid revision, atomically replace the complete MCP provider, reconcile
+Extensions per entry, and hot-register outbound A2A Agents. Each A2A entry has
+a desired `enabled` switch; `kodax a2a list` shows configuration, while the
+owning Runtime is authoritative for live applied registrations. Disabled
+entries are not fetched during automatic reconciliation and, after the owning
+Runtime applies the revision, cannot accept new dispatch. The mutation command
+itself is not cross-process acknowledgement. `a2a add --disabled` still checks
+the Card by default unless `--no-test` is supplied, while `a2a test` performs
+discovery/security planning without requesting an OAuth token. The fixed
+`KODAX_A2A_TOKEN` example is an operator-provisioned compatibility credential;
+KodaX does not generate or issue it. Disabled entries remain available for
+later re-enable. Private-address access and non-loopback plaintext HTTP are
+independent, persisted, default-deny permissions (`--allow-private` and
+`--allow-insecure-http`); exact loopback HTTP remains available without either.
+OAuth token endpoints retain their stricter HTTPS-or-exact-loopback rule.
+Worker-hosted SDK Runtimes can load this same configured plane inside the Worker
+owner with `worker: { configuredA2A: true }`. The CLI honors the same opt-in
+from `~/.kodax/config.json` (`"worker": { "configuredA2A": true }`) by creating
+a Worker-hosted embedded Runtime that loads the configured A2A plane. `a2a serve` loads
+its configured MCP/Extension capability surface before listening and pins that
+execution authority; it hot-reloads publication, authentication, and limits.
+
+A2A configuration migration and retained task ownership are separate. If a
+v0.7.70 task store must remain addressable after the realm-aware upgrade, stop
+the A2A server, run `kodax a2a migrate-tasks` to inspect the exact-owner plan,
+then apply it with `--apply --confirm-server-stopped`. OAuth migration also
+requires the known historical `--subject`; normal serving never guesses or
+dual-reads a legacy owner key.
+
+Agent, Skill, Extension-tool authority, workspace, tool-policy, or task-store
+changes require an explicit server restart. Managed
+A2A contexts default to `~/kodax_a2a_server_workspace/<runtime-profile>/contexts/`.
+Exact Skill scripts require the opt-in isolated policy and a passing
+`kodax sandbox doctor` (`kodax sandbox setup` performs the explicit Windows
+one-time provisioning).

+## Features
+
+- **Modular Architecture** - Use as CLI, as a library, or as a Node-free single binary
+- **16 Built-in Provider Aliases** - Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Kimi, Kimi Code, Qwen, Qwen Token Plan, Zhipu, Zhipu Coding, Zai 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. Adaptive child steering uses the canonical Actor collaboration tools with idle-yield waiting; specialist routing uses `spawn_agent(agent_id=...)`.
+- **Reasoning Effort** - Effort-first control (`off/auto/low/medium/high` plus model-supported extras) 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** - Built-in full/light repository intelligence 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
+├── provider-capabilities.json
+├── semantic-worker.js             # Repo-intelligence Worker
+├── runtime-worker.js              # SDK Runtime Worker
+└── constructed-handler-worker.js  # Constructed-tool Worker
+```
+
+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',
+  effort: '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 (16 aliases)
+import { runKodaX } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/coding';              // coding tools + prompts
+import { createImageArtifactFromPath } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/media'; // input artifacts
+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
+import { createKodaXRuntime } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/runtime';   // embedded/daemon runtime API
+import { runKodaXSandboxed } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/sandbox';    // standalone ASRT containment
+import { createKodaXA2AServer } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/a2a';    // A2A 1.0 client/server edge
+import { createMemoryAgent } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/experimental-memory'; // opt-in memory SDK
+```
+
+All 13 SDK entries (root + 12 subpaths) share internal code via ESM chunk splitting — importing from `/agent` does not pull in `/repl`'s Ink + React surface.
+
+For the complete host-facing contract — including embedded/Worker/daemon ownership,
+external-agent registration and task control, session cursor pagination, workflow
+model-tier routing, and efficiency telemetry — see the
+[SDK Embedder Integration Guide](public_docs/sdk/embedder-guide.md).
+
+> **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 [public_docs/sdk/embedder-guide.md §5](public_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 higher reasoning effort
+kodax --effort high "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 -r                    # Search, page, and select a non-empty session
+kodax -r <session-id>       # Resume a known session directly
+kodax -r "Review runtime"   # Resume a unique exact title; duplicates open the picker
+kodax --session list        # List up to 50 non-empty sessions
+kodax --session cleanup-acp # Preview strictly matched empty ACP-test pollution
+```
+
+Bare `-r` opens an interactive picker with incremental search, arrow/PageUp/PageDown
+navigation, Tab completion, full selected-session ID display, and Enter-to-resume.
+An explicit value checks the complete session ID first, then an exact
+case-insensitive title; duplicate titles open a narrowed picker instead of
+silently choosing one. The picker loads before the full CLI, so session listing
+remains responsive. After selection it hands terminal input to the resumed
+REPL; Esc releases the picker's stdin ownership and immediately returns to the
+invoking shell. Session replay preserves each recorded message/event timestamp.
+
+Cleanup is preview-only unless
+`--apply-session-cleanup` is also provided; matching sessions are archived rather
+than permanently deleted.
+
+### 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 non-empty conversation in this directory

+-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` | Runtime-owned LLM/rules classification within the project boundary | Only explicit classifier escalation |
+
+```bash
+# In REPL, use /mode command
+/mode plan          # Switch to plan mode (read-only)
+/mode accept-edits  # Switch to accept-edits mode
+/mode auto             # Switch to Runtime-owned Auto Mode
+/auto                  # Alias for auto
+
+# 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
+- Sensitive/protected or unresolved targets enter Auto[LLM]/approval review;
+  ordinary reads outside the project are allowed
+- Pattern-based permission: Allow specific Bash commands (e.g., `Bash(npm install)`)
+- Unified diff display for write/edit operations
+- Auto Mode first admits exactly modeled safe reads and workspace/temp
+  mutations without classifier latency. Remaining actions are reviewed against
+  bounded user intent and exact operation facts; a safe verdict creates no
+  pending approval request. Classifier failures retry once, then use the
+  Accept-edits safety boundary rather than silently switching to Auto[rules].
+- Shift-Tab cycles `Plan -> Edits -> Auto`; Shift+Enter inserts a newline. Auto
+  immediately displays `Auto[LLM]` or `Auto[RULES]`, and rapid mode changes are
+  persisted in input order. `Auto[RULES]` remains an explicit/manual engine;
+  use `/auto-engine llm` to select LLM classification.
+- Runtime-backed prompts can offer exact `allow once`, `allow this session`,
+  and `always allow` choices. Return the Runtime-issued opaque suggestion;
+  never derive or widen a permission rule from the displayed command or path.
+  Persistent grants are daemon-owned, revisioned, and can be listed/revoked
+  through `runtime.permissions` by an authorized SDK host. Dynamic shell
+  commands deliberately receive no persistent-grant suggestion.
+
+`kodax -c` skips zero-message ACP/bootstrap placeholders even when they are
+newer than the last real conversation. The same newest non-empty rule applies
+to Ink, classic, one-shot CLI, and coding-runtime auto-resume; an explicit
+session ID always wins. Interactive resume also restores the saved workspace
+runtime before relative shell commands or the next model turn.

+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.
+
+SDK/headless hosts can observe actionable Sidecar Verifier messages via
+`KodaXEvents.onSidecarMessage`; JSONL output emits the same payload as
+`sidecar.message`. Only `revise` and `blocked` verdicts are surfaced; `accept`
+stays silent.
+
+## 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}: ${result.content.slice(0, 100)}`),
+  onSidecarMessage: (event) => console.log(`[sidecar:${event.verdict}] ${event.content}`),
+  onComplete: () => console.log('\nDone!'),
+  onError: (e) => console.error(e.message),
+};
+
+const result = await runKodaX({
+  provider: 'zhipu-coding',
+  effort: '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',
+  effort: '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 12 SDK subpath exports (ADR-024 v0.7.39 + ADR-032 v0.7.42 + ADR-038 v0.7.49 + v0.7.56 `/media` + v0.7.64 `/runtime` + v0.7.68 `/experimental-memory` + v0.7.69 `/a2a` + v0.7.78 `/sandbox`). 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';                // 16-alias LLM abstraction
+import { KODAX_TOOLS } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/coding';             // tools + prompts + agent loop
+import { createImageArtifactFromPath } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/media'; // input artifact helpers
+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
+import { createKodaXRuntime } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/runtime';     // embedded/daemon runtime API
+import { runKodaXSandboxed } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/sandbox';      // explicit standalone containment
+import { createKodaXA2AServer } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/a2a';      // A2A 1.0 client/server edge
+import { createMemoryAgent } from '@kodax-ai/kodax/experimental-memory'; // opt-in experimental memory SDK
+```
+
+> The SDK is **ESM-only**. CommonJS consumers (Electron main / Webpack CJS / `require()` callers) must use `await import('@kodax-ai/kodax/...')` — see [public_docs/sdk/embedder-guide.md §5](public_docs/sdk/embedder-guide.md#5-consuming-from-a-commonjs-context-electron-main-cjs-bundles).
+
+### `@kodax-ai/kodax/llm` — LLM Abstraction
+
+16 built-in provider aliases (Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Kimi, Kimi-Code, Qwen, Qwen-Token-Plan, Zhipu, Zhipu-Coding, Zai-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') { /* … */ }
+  else if (result.type === 'tool_use') { /* … */ }
+}
+```
+
+**Key Features**: unified provider interface · streaming · reasoning effort (`off/auto/low/medium/high` plus model-supported extras) · per-provider retry + error handling · zero business-logic dependencies.
+
+### `@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,
+  createAgentActorController,
+  generateSessionId,
+  estimateTokens,
+  DefaultSummaryCompaction,

-## 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 |
-
-### Shell & search
-| Tool | Description |
-|------|-------------|
-| `bash` | Execute a shell command (supports `run_in_background`; complete capture with recoverable capacity fallback) |
-| `glob` | Find files by pattern |
-| `grep` | Regex content search (context lines, multiline, file-type filter, pagination) |
-| `code_search` | Lower-noise code search (extension-provider aware) |
-| `semantic_lookup` | Symbol/module/process-aware search backed by repo intelligence |
-| `web_search` | Discovery-oriented web search with trust + freshness signals |
-| `web_fetch` | Fetch a specific URL with provenance hints |
-
-### Repo Intelligence (working tools)
-| Tool | Description |
-|------|-------------|
-| `repo_overview` | Summarize structure, key areas, entry hints, intelligence snapshot |
-| `changed_scope` | Which files/areas/categories the current diff touches |
-| `changed_diff` | Paged diff slice for a single file |
-| `changed_diff_bundle` | Paged diff slices for multiple files in one call |
-| `module_context` | Module capsule (deps, entries, symbols, tests, docs) |
-| `symbol_context` | Definition + probable callers/callees + alternatives |
-| `process_context` | Approximate static execution capsule for an entry |
-| `impact_estimate` | Blast radius for a symbol/path/module |
-
-### MCP capabilities (when MCP servers are configured)
-| Tool | Description |
-|------|-------------|
-| `mcp_search` / `mcp_describe` / `mcp_call` | Discover and invoke MCP tools through the shared capability runtime |
-| `mcp_read_resource` / `mcp_get_prompt` | Read MCP resources and prompts |
-
-### Git worktree
-| Tool | Description |
-|------|-------------|
-| `worktree_create` | Create a new worktree on an isolated branch for safe agent work |
-| `worktree_remove` | Remove a worktree (with safety checks) |
-
-### Agent control & UX
-| Tool | Description |
-|------|-------------|
-| `spawn_agent` | Create a named child Actor and start its first Turn under inherited capabilities, session capacity, and root work budget. |
-| `send_message` | Commit bounded information to an Actor mailbox without starting a new Turn. |
-| `followup_task` | Join a running Actor at a safe boundary or atomically start a new Turn for an idle Actor. |
-| `wait_agent` | Yield on scoped mailbox/user/interruption/timeout activity; returns a wake acknowledgement and never uses Actor progress as a model wake source. |
-| `interrupt_agent` | Request interruption of an active Turn while preserving Actor identity. |
-| `list_agents` | Inspect the caller-visible Actor subtree and Turn states. |
-| `agent_output` | Read bounded durable output for an authorized Actor/Turn. |
-| `ask_user_question` | Single/multi-select or free-text prompt back to the user |
-| `exit_plan_mode` | Present a finalized plan only when the active REPL/host supplied an approval callback |
-| `run_workflow` | Author and run a deterministic Workflow protocol in AMA only when Workflow intent is explicit; complexity alone never activates it. Child Agents share the Actor control plane. Async / idle-yield. (FEATURE_246; FEATURE_270 v0.7.72) |
-| `emit_managed_protocol` | Internal managed-task protocol side-channel for role payloads (verdict). V2 Worker single-loop + Sidecar Verifier is the default since v0.7.42 (FEATURE_184); V1 chain retired in v0.7.43 (FEATURE_193). |

-## 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.
-F263 background learning is Memory-first: a single correction does not create
-a Skill. Repeated independently verified evidence can create a low-risk,
-immutable project-scoped testing revision for at most three exact-revision
-uses. Promotion requires independently verified success. Use `/learn` to
-inspect, disable, rollback, trust, or reject learned revisions. Protected or
-formal Skills, user-global promotion, and Extension authoring remain explicit
-user actions.
-
-### Promote a learned Skill to the user catalog
-
-Automatic canary activation and user-catalog promotion are different:
-
-- independently verified canary success changes `testing` to
-  `active_learned` inside the project-scoped Learned Area;
-- `/learn promote` is an explicit ownership transfer that copies one exact
-  reviewed `ready` or `active_learned` revision into the formal user Skill
-  catalog and changes its lifecycle to `promoted_user`.
-
-Inspect the revision first, then promote it by name, slug, or exact capability
-ID:
-
-```text
-/learn show normalize-release-notes
-/learn promote normalize-release-notes --scope user
-```
-
-`--scope user` is the only supported scope and may be omitted. Invalid scopes,
-unknown options, duplicate scope options, and extra operands fail without
-changing the catalog. Promotion writes to the configured KodaX user Skill
-directory—normally `~/.kodax/skills/<slug>/SKILL.md`—and never overwrites
-different formal Skill content.
-
-Use `/learn promote --help`, `/learn help promote`, or
-`/help learn promote` for the dedicated command reference. In the Ink Learning
-Center, open `/learn`, select an `active_learned` Skill, and choose
-**Promote to user catalog**.
-
----
-
-## 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,

-  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 uses one repo-intelligence cache root with separate built-in engine profiles:
-
-- `.agent/repo-intelligence/`
-  - Full-engine repo-intelligence artifacts and existing task-engine snapshots.
-- `.agent/repo-intelligence/light/`
-  - Light-mode heuristic index artifacts.
-
-They are intentionally separated so:
-
-- full and light profiles can be rebuilt independently.
-- light-mode confidence/capability state cannot be mistaken for full-engine state.
-- future cache migrations can delete one profile without corrupting the other.
-
-`.agent/repo-intelligence/` is local generated state 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` |

+
+## 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 |
+
+### Shell & search
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `bash` | Execute a shell command (supports `run_in_background`; complete capture with recoverable capacity fallback) |
+| `glob` | Find files by pattern |
+| `grep` | Regex content search (context lines, multiline, file-type filter, pagination) |
+| `code_search` | Lower-noise code search (extension-provider aware) |
+| `semantic_lookup` | Symbol/module/process-aware search backed by repo intelligence |
+| `web_search` | Discovery-oriented web search with trust + freshness signals |
+| `web_fetch` | Fetch a specific URL with provenance hints |
+
+### Repo Intelligence (working tools)
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `repo_overview` | Summarize structure, key areas, entry hints, intelligence snapshot |
+| `changed_scope` | Which files/areas/categories the current diff touches |
+| `changed_diff` | Paged diff slice for a single file |
+| `changed_diff_bundle` | Paged diff slices for multiple files in one call |
+| `module_context` | Module capsule (deps, entries, symbols, tests, docs) |
+| `symbol_context` | Definition + probable callers/callees + alternatives |
+| `process_context` | Approximate static execution capsule for an entry |
+| `impact_estimate` | Blast radius for a symbol/path/module |
+
+### MCP capabilities (when MCP servers are configured)
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `mcp_search` / `mcp_describe` / `mcp_call` | Discover and invoke MCP tools through the shared capability runtime |
+| `mcp_read_resource` / `mcp_get_prompt` | Read MCP resources and prompts |
+
+### Git worktree
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `worktree_create` | Create a new worktree on an isolated branch for safe agent work |
+| `worktree_remove` | Remove a worktree (with safety checks) |
+
+### Agent control & UX
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `spawn_agent` | Create a named child Actor and start its first Turn under inherited capabilities, session capacity, and root work budget. |
+| `send_message` | Commit bounded information to an Actor mailbox without starting a new Turn. |
+| `followup_task` | Join a running Actor at a safe boundary or atomically start a new Turn for an idle Actor. |
+| `wait_agent` | Yield on scoped mailbox/user/interruption/timeout activity; returns a wake acknowledgement and never uses Actor progress as a model wake source. |
+| `interrupt_agent` | Request interruption of an active Turn while preserving Actor identity. |
+| `list_agents` | Inspect the caller-visible Actor subtree and Turn states. |
+| `agent_output` | Read bounded durable output for an authorized Actor/Turn. |
+| `ask_user_question` | Single/multi-select or free-text prompt back to the user |
+| `exit_plan_mode` | Present a finalized plan only when the active REPL/host supplied an approval callback |
+| `run_workflow` | Author and run a deterministic Workflow protocol in AMA only when Workflow intent is explicit; complexity alone never activates it. Child Agents share the Actor control plane. Async / idle-yield. (FEATURE_246; FEATURE_270 v0.7.72) |
+| `emit_managed_protocol` | Internal managed-task protocol side-channel for role payloads (verdict). V2 Worker single-loop + Sidecar Verifier is the default since v0.7.42 (FEATURE_184); V1 chain retired in v0.7.43 (FEATURE_193). |

+
+## 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.
+F263 background learning is Memory-first: a single correction does not create
+a Skill. Repeated independently verified evidence can create a low-risk,
+immutable project-scoped testing revision for at most three exact-revision
+uses. Promotion requires independently verified success. Use `/learn` to
+inspect, disable, rollback, trust, or reject learned revisions. Protected or
+formal Skills, user-global promotion, and Extension authoring remain explicit
+user actions.
+
+### Promote a learned Skill to the user catalog
+
+Automatic canary activation and user-catalog promotion are different:
+
+- independently verified canary success changes `testing` to
+  `active_learned` inside the project-scoped Learned Area;
+- `/learn promote` is an explicit ownership transfer that copies one exact
+  reviewed `ready` or `active_learned` revision into the formal user Skill
+  catalog and changes its lifecycle to `promoted_user`.
+
+Inspect the revision first, then promote it by name, slug, or exact capability
+ID:
+
+```text
+/learn show normalize-release-notes
+/learn promote normalize-release-notes --scope user
+```
+
+`--scope user` is the only supported scope and may be omitted. Invalid scopes,
+unknown options, duplicate scope options, and extra operands fail without
+changing the catalog. Promotion writes to the configured KodaX user Skill
+directory—normally `~/.kodax/skills/<slug>/SKILL.md`—and never overwrites
+different formal Skill content.
+
+Use `/learn promote --help`, `/learn help promote`, or
+`/help learn promote` for the dedicated command reference. In the Ink Learning
+Center, open `/learn`, select an `active_learned` Skill, and choose
+**Promote to user catalog**.
+
+---
+
+## 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
+
+---
+

+
+```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 uses one repo-intelligence cache root with separate built-in engine profiles:
+
+- `.agent/repo-intelligence/`
+  - Full-engine repo-intelligence artifacts and existing task-engine snapshots.
+- `.agent/repo-intelligence/light/`
+  - Light-mode heuristic index artifacts.
+
+They are intentionally separated so:
+
+- full and light profiles can be rebuilt independently.
+- light-mode confidence/capability state cannot be mistaken for full-engine state.
+- future cache migrations can delete one profile without corrupting the other.
+
+`.agent/repo-intelligence/` is local generated state 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` |
