+*   (the SAME store mechanics a flat manager had, folded in: `add` / `message` / `messages` /
+*   `remove` / `clear` / `count`), exactly as a `Workspace` owns its files (no separate
+*   per-value manager). `#sections` are the compacted history (oldest → newest), each a
+*   summarized slice that RETAINS its originals. `#summary` is the rollup (a
+*   summary-of-summaries over all sections), regenerated on each compaction (`undefined`
+*   until the first).
+* - **`view()`.** Each section folds to ONE synthetic summary message (role `'assistant'` — a
+*   prior-context recap — keyed by the section's stable `id`), then the live messages
+*   verbatim. The rollup `summary` is NOT injected (it is separately pull-able); `view()`
+*   carries the per-section summaries, which ARE the compaction benefit.
+* - **`compact()`.** Folds the oldest `count - keep` live messages into a new section
+*   (its `summary` from `#summarize`), removes them from the live tail by id, regenerates the
+*   rollup (a SECOND `#summarize` over all section summaries), and emits `summary` then
+*   `compact`. Returns the section, or `undefined` when nothing folds (`count <= keep`).
+*   THROWS a {@link ConversationError} when no `#summarize` was supplied. Two summarizer calls
+*   per compaction.
+* - **`rehydrate(id)` / `search(query)`.** `rehydrate` returns a section's full original
+*   messages (`[]` for an unknown id) and emits `rehydrate` — a pure read (v1 never
+*   auto-reinserts). `search` is a case-insensitive substring scan of `content` across ALL
+*   messages (every section's originals + the live tail).
+* - **Observable (§13).** The owned {@link emitter} ({@link ConversationEventMap}) carries
+*   `compact` / `summary` / `rehydrate`, emitted directly, strictly AFTER the state change;
+*   the emitter isolates a listener throw and routes it to its `error` handler (the `error`

+/**
+* The registry of {@link Conversation}s keyed by `id`, in insertion order, WITH an active pointer
+* — the §9 store over the conversation layer PLUS the `active` / `switch` seam the
+* {@link import('../AgentContext.js').AgentContext} renders. Event-free (a registry, like
+* {@link import('../workspaces/WorkspaceManager.js').WorkspaceManager}); the observability lives
+* on each {@link Conversation}.
+*
+* @remarks
+* - **Registry.** Conversations live in an insertion-ordered `Map` keyed by `id`. `add(input?)`
+*   mints a {@link Conversation} (its `id` from `input` or `crypto.randomUUID()`), flowing the
+*   manager's default `#summarize` / `#keep` in unless the `input` OVERRIDES them, and stores
+*   it (an already-present `id` OVERWRITES — last write wins). `count` is the map size,
+*   `conversation(id)` looks one up, `conversations()` lists them in insertion order.
+* - **Active pointer.** `active` is the active conversation (the agent's message source the
+*   context renders), `undefined` until the FIRST `add` (which auto-activates it — a registry
+*   with conversations always has one active). A subsequent `add` leaves `active` unchanged.
+*   `switch(id)` re-points `active` to the conversation with `id` and returns it; an unknown `id`
+*   returns `undefined` and leaves `active` unchanged (the lenient lookup style — never throws,
+*   no new error code).
+* - **Removal.** `remove` drops one by id, or a batch (§9.2) — `true` when any was removed;
+*   removing the ACTIVE conversation sets `active` to `undefined`. `clear` empties the registry
+*   and sets `active` to `undefined`.
+* - **Event-free.** A purely registry store — no Emitter, no events (each conversation owns
+*   its own observable `emitter`).
+*
+* @example
+* ```ts
+* const manager = new ConversationManager({ summarize: async (m) => `recap of ${m.length}` })
+* const conversation = manager.add() // auto-activates — active === conversation

+* - **Batch never fails as a whole.** `execute(calls)` runs every call via
+*   `Promise.all(calls.map(...))` and resolves the results correlated by `id` in the
+*   input order — a mix of success, throw, and not-found all resolve; one bad call
+*   does not reject the batch.
+* - **Event-free.** A purely functional registry — no Emitter, no events.
+*
+* @example
+* ```ts
+* const manager = new ToolManager()
+* manager.add(new Tool({ name: 'add', execute: (a) => Number(a.x) + Number(a.y) }))
+* const result = await manager.execute({ id: '1', name: 'add', arguments: { x: 1, y: 2 } })

+/**
+* A mutable, `path`-keyed working set of immutable {@link FileInterface}s — the
+* in-memory editing surface over the file primitive.
+*
+* @remarks
+* - **Registry.** Files live in an insertion-ordered `Map` keyed by `path`; `count` is the
+*   map size, `file(path)` looks one up, and `files()` lists them in insertion order.
+* - **Write replaces the File (§11 immutability).** Every edit MINTS a replacement
+*   {@link FileInterface} (via {@link import('../factories.js').createFile}) rather than
+*   mutating in place, transitioning `state` to `'created'` for a brand-new path or
+*   `'modified'` for an existing one. A whole-file string write preserves an existing text
+*   file's `language`, else infers it from the `path` (`inferLanguage`); writing a string
+*   onto an existing BINARY path replaces it with a text file (a deliberate retype). A
+*   ranged `write` splices a `Range` of an existing text file.
+* - **Modality rules.** Text-only ops on a binary file are rejected: a ranged `read` /
+*   `write`, `prepend`, and `append` throw `MODALITY`; a plain `read(path)` of a binary
+*   file returns `undefined`; `search` / `replace` skip binary files (0 matches).
+* - **In-memory removal.** `remove(path)` / `remove(paths)` drop files outright (no
+*   tombstone — the `'loaded'` / `'deleted'` states are reserved for a future FileStore);
+*   `remove()` and `clear()` both empty the registry and emit the single `clear` signal.
+*   The disk/sync lifecycle (`load` / `revert` / `accept` / `purge` / `dirty`) is NOT part
+*   of this surface.
+* - **Observable (§13).** The owned {@link emitter} ({@link WorkspaceEventMap}) carries
+*   `write` (the resulting file) / `remove` (the path) / `move` (`{ from, to }`) / `clear`.
+*   Every event is emitted directly, strictly AFTER the map mutation completes; the
+*   emitter isolates a listener throw and routes it to its `error` handler, so a buggy
+*   observer can never corrupt a mutation.
+*
+* @example
+* ```ts
+* const workspace = new Workspace()
+* workspace.write('src/main.ts', 'const x = 1')
+* workspace.file('src/main.ts')?.state // 'created'
+* workspace.append('src/main.ts', '\nconst y = 2')

+/**
+* The registry of {@link Workspace}s keyed by `id`, in insertion order, WITH an active pointer
+* — the §9 store over the workspace layer PLUS the `active` / `switch` seam the context renders.
+* Event-free (a registry, like {@link ConversationManager}); the observability lives on each
+* {@link Workspace}.
+*
+* @remarks
+* - **Registry.** Workspaces live in an insertion-ordered `Map` keyed by `id`. `add(input?)`
+*   mints a {@link Workspace} (its `id` from `input` or `crypto.randomUUID()`), flowing the
+*   manager's default `on` / `error` in unless the `input` OVERRIDES them, and stores it (an
+*   already-present `id` OVERWRITES — last write wins). `count` is the map size, `workspace(id)`
+*   looks one up, `workspaces()` lists them in insertion order.
+* - **Active pointer.** `active` is the active workspace (what the context renders), `undefined`
+*   until the FIRST `add` (which auto-activates it — a registry with workspaces always has one
+*   active). A subsequent `add` leaves `active` unchanged. `switch(id)` re-points `active` to the
+*   workspace with `id` and returns it; an unknown `id` returns `undefined` and leaves `active`
+*   unchanged (the lenient lookup style — never throws, no new error code).
+* - **Removal.** `remove` drops one by id, or a batch (§9.2) — `true` when any was removed;
+*   removing the ACTIVE workspace sets `active` to `undefined`. `clear` empties the registry and
+*   sets `active` to `undefined`.
+* - **Durable open / save (the optional `store`).** With a {@link WorkspaceStoreInterface} supplied
+*   (the `store` option), `open(id)` HYDRATES a workspace on a registry miss — it `store.get(id)`s
+*   the snapshot and rebuilds a fresh {@link Workspace} through the constructor `seed`
+*   (`snapshot.files` → path → File), then activates it — and `save(id)` PERSISTS a registered
+*   workspace's `snapshot()`. Both are LENIENT without a store (open resolves only registered ids,
+*   save is a no-op `false`), consistent with the lenient `switch`.
+* - **Event-free.** A purely registry store — no Emitter, no events (each workspace owns its own
+*   observable `emitter`).
+*
+* @example
+* ```ts
+* const manager = new WorkspaceManager()
+* const first = manager.add() // auto-activates — active === first
+* manager.add({ id: 'scratch' }) // leaves active unchanged
+* manager.switch('scratch') // re-points active to the 'scratch' workspace

+/**
+* The richer turn context the agent loop assembles a provider request from — the optional
+* system prompt, the observable context managers (instructions / workspaces), the
+* {@link ConversationManagerInterface} message source (whose active conversation IS `messages`),
+* the {@link ToolManagerInterface} registry, and a mutable active {@link ScopeInterface}.
+*
+* @remarks
+* - **Composition.** `system` is the optional system prompt; `instructions` / `tools` /
+*   `workspaces` / `conversations` are the registries passed in `options` (bring your own), or
+*   fresh empty ones when omitted (so `workspaces` is ALWAYS present); `messages` is the ACTIVE
+*   conversation's live tail (ALWAYS defined — see below). `scope` is the active filter —
+*   `undefined` (the default) ⇒ no filtering; settable afterwards. `workspaces` / `conversations`
+*   are likewise SETTABLE (swap the whole registry between runs).
+* - **The message source — the conversation registry's ACTIVE conversation.** `conversations` is a
+*   {@link ConversationManagerInterface}; the context ENSURES it always has an active conversation
+*   (at construction it `add`s a default when the manager has none), so the DYNAMIC `messages`
+*   getter — `this.#conversations.active` — is ALWAYS defined. `messages` returns the active
+*   conversation ITSELF (it owns the live tail + the message verbs directly, satisfying
+*   {@link MessageManagerInterface} structurally — the same reference, no duplication), and
+*   `build()` folds that conversation's `view()` (its per-section summaries + live tail) as the
+*   AUTHORITATIVE message inclusion — the scope does NOT filter the conversation (it owns inclusion
+*   via compaction; scope filters only instructions / tools / workspace files). Because `messages`
+*   is read dynamically, an agent SWITCHES the active
+*   conversation BETWEEN runs (`conversations.switch(id)`) to serve MANY threads (the real
+*   multi-conversation pattern); switch between runs, not during a run, and use separate agents
+*   for concurrent threads.
+* - **`build(format?)` — the scoped assembly + the format cascade.** It folds, in order,
+*   the system prompt then the scope-filtered instructions → the ACTIVE workspace's text files
+*   (each as a block: the section's resolved `open` text, each item's resolved rendering, then
+*   any resolved `close` text) into ONE leading `system` message (prepended only when at least
+*   one part exists), then appends the ACTIVE conversation's `view()` (the conversation owns
+*   message inclusion via compaction — the scope does NOT filter the conversation). Each
+*   `open` / item / `close`
+*   resolves INDEPENDENTLY, MOST-SPECIFIC-FIRST — `build()`'s optional `format` (a provider's
+*   per-section default) is the PROVIDER level: `open` = manager-options-override > provider >
+*   built-in; per item = item-override > manager-options-override > provider > built-in; `close` =
+*   manager-options-override > provider (NO built-in ⇒ no closing line when unset) (see
+*   {@link AgentContextInterface.build}). Passing NO `format` (and with no overrides / no per-item
+*   format) reproduces the built-in framing byte-for-byte (each section is its built-in header +
+*   items, no closing line). The active workspace's scoped-in image files' `data` is attached to
+*   the LAST user message (a vision provider reads images off a user turn); when no user message
+*   exists the attachment is skipped. Built fresh each call (recomputed, never cached), so it
+*   always reflects the current managers / messages / scope / active workspace; it never mutates a
+*   manager or the stored messages.
+* - **The ACTIVE workspace, rendered BY CARRIER — the SOLE document/image context.**
+*   `workspaces.active` (when set) has its {@link FileInterface}s scope-filtered by `scope.files`,
+*   then split: TEXT files fold into a dedicated `## Workspace` system section (fenced reference
+*   blocks — placed right after the instructions section), and IMAGE files' base64 `data` attaches
+*   to the last user message. ACTIVE-ONLY — never the other registered workspaces; with no active
+*   workspace nothing renders for workspaces. `build()` OWNS this render (a `Workspace` /
+*   `WorkspaceManager` stays file-focused).
+* - **Tools are structural, not in the prompt.** The registry is advertised to the provider
+*   via `tools.definitions()` (scope-filtered by the loop), NEVER serialized into the
+*   message array — so `build()`'s output carries no tool content, scoped or not.
+* - **Event-free context; observable managers.** The context itself owns no Emitter; the
+*   context managers each carry their own (the §13 observation surface).
+*
+* @example
+* ```ts
+* const context = new AgentContext({ system: 'You are concise.' })
+* context.instructions.add({ name: 'tone', content: 'Be terse.' })
+* context.messages.add({ role: 'user', content: 'Hi' })

+/**
+* The agent loop — composes a {@link ProviderInterface}, an {@link AgentContext}, and
+* a {@link ToolManagerInterface} into a bounded context → provider → tools → repeat
+* turn, exposed as both a one-shot `generate` and a live `stream`.
+*
+* @remarks
+* - **One loop, two faces.** A single private async generator (`#run`) drives the
+*   whole turn. `stream` kicks off an eager pump that iterates `#run` into a private
+*   {@link Channel}, settling `result` from the run's outcome — so `result` settles
+*   whether or not the live `events` are drained; `generate` simply awaits that same
+*   settled `result` — so the two can never diverge.
+* - **The turn.** `#run` builds the provider input once (`context.build()` into a
+*   working array) then loops up to `limit`: drive `provider.stream(...)` accumulating
+*   + yielding each content delta as a `token` chunk; fold the turn's usage into the
+*   running total + the `budget` and yield a `usage` chunk; if the model requested
+*   tools, append the assistant turn, `execute` them, yield a `tool` chunk per call,
+*   append each tool result message, and continue; otherwise append the final
+*   assistant message and stop.
+* - **Bounded.** Each run arms one cancel via `createAbort({ signal: AbortSignal.any([
+*   …]) })` folding the external `signal`, the `timeout` deadline, and the `budget`
+*   signal; `abort()` fires it. Any trip stops the loop and commits a PARTIAL result
+*   (the `result` promise RESOLVES, never rejects, on a cancel) — only a genuine
+*   provider / tool error rejects.
+* - **Paced + capped.** The `scheduler` (when given) `yield`s between turns; tool
+*   iteration is capped at `limit`.
+* - **Two observation surfaces.** The PULL {@link AgentChunk} stream carries per-token
+*   deltas (+ usage/tool chunks); the PUSH {@link emitter} ({@link AgentEventMap}) carries
+*   lifecycle + usage/tool/deny moments for fire-and-forget observers. Every event is
+*   emitted directly, AFTER the relevant state transition / settle; the emitter isolates a
+*   listener throw and routes it to its `error` handler (the `error` option), so a buggy
+*   observer can never escape into / reorder / corrupt the settle-once loop — observation is
+*   purely a side-channel.

+/**
+* The bridge that makes a durable, JSON-serializable {@link AgentJobInput} runnable —
+* it holds the named pools of live, non-serializable pieces (providers, tools,
+* authorities, schedulers) and rehydrates a seeded, signal-wired {@link Agent} from a
+* job's names + data.
+*
+* @remarks
+* - **Why it exists.** An `AgentJobInput` is serializable so it can survive a crash in a
+*   Queue's store; the live objects it needs (a provider with sockets, tools / rules /
+*   schedulers carrying functions) cannot serialize. The registry closes that gap:
+*   construct it once with the live pools, then a queue / runner handler calls `build`
+*   on each (possibly restored) job to get a ready agent.
+* - **Accessors throw on a miss (§9.1 + §12).** `provider` / `tool` / `authority` /
+*   `scheduler` resolve a name against their pool and THROW `unknown <category>: <name>`
+*   when it is absent — an unknown name in a rehydrated job is a programmer / config
+*   error that must fail LOUDLY at build time, never silently resolve to `undefined` and
+*   run an agent missing a dependency.
+* - **`build` rehydrates.** Resolve the job's `provider`; assemble a fresh
+*   {@link ToolManager} from the `tools` names; rebuild the token `budget` from its
+*   ceiling (`createTokenBudget({ max })`); resolve the optional `authority` /
+*   `scheduler` names; construct the {@link Agent} with `system` / `limit` / `timeout` /
+*   the threaded `signal`; seed its context with the job's `messages`; return it. The
+*   `signal` is the queue attempt's / runner unit's cancel, so a bounded abort propagates
+*   into the agent (which commits a partial — the job's `allowPartial` policy then
+*   decides success vs. retry).
+* - **Event-free.** A pure resolver — no Emitter, no events.
+*
+* @example
+* ```ts
+* declare const provider: ProviderInterface // any concrete implementation supplied by the host app
+* const registry = new AgentRegistry({ providers: { main: provider } })

+*   so a rules list of denials behaves as a DENYLIST. To make the gate deny-by-default
+*   (an ALLOWLIST — only matched rules that allow get through), pass an `allowed: false`
+*   `fallback`.
+* - **Consulted before each tool call.** The agent loop calls `evaluate({ call })` for
+*   every {@link import('./types.js').ToolCall} the model emits; a denied call is fed

+* passes `createMemoryDriver()`), so it ALSO works in memory out of the box; you opt into the

+* The {@link ConversationSnapshot} is stored as ONE OPAQUE JSON COLUMN — the table is a row of

+* - **Removal.** `remove` drops one by id, or a batch (§9.2) — `true` when any was
+*   removed; `clear` empties the registry.
+* - **Observable (§13).** The owned {@link emitter} ({@link ScopeManagerEventMap}) carries

+* answer and surfaces the reasoning as {@link import('./types.js').ProviderResult.thinking}.
+*
+* @remarks
+* - **Cross-chunk tags.** A tag may arrive split across wire deltas (`'<thi'` then
+*   `'nk>'`): any suffix of the pending text that is a strict PREFIX of a tag being
+*   scanned for is HELD BACK (neither surfaced nor routed) until the next delta — or
+*   `flush()` — disambiguates it. A held tag prefix that never completes is real
+*   content; a held close-tag prefix inside a span is thinking.
+* - **The IMPLICIT leading open (the qwen3-template shape).** Some chat templates
+*   PRE-SEED `<think>` into the prompt scaffold, so the wire stream begins
+*   MID-REASONING and only a bare `</think>` appears. Before any tag event, a bare
+*   close therefore RECLASSIFIES everything surfaced so far (plus the pre-close
+*   pending) as thinking — `content` is corrected retroactively (the already-returned
+*   prefix cannot be recalled, so `content` is the authoritative accumulation). The
+*   rule is ONE-SHOT: after any tag event a bare `</think>` is plain text.
+* - **Multiple spans** accumulate onto `thinking` in stream order. A nested-looking
+*   `<think>` inside an open span is just thinking text (no nesting is tracked — the
+*   first `</think>` closes the span), matching how the models emit it.
+* - **Unclosed span at stream end.** `flush()` routes the open span's tail (including
+*   any held partial close tag) to `thinking` — a cut-off model was still reasoning.
+* - **One splitter, one stream.** State is per-stream; create a fresh instance per
+*   provider call ({@link import('./factories.js').createThinkSplitter}).

+* message store it OWNS DIRECTLY, with compaction into summarized sections, a regenerated
+* rollup `summary`, on-demand `rehydrate`, and substring `search`, driven by a
+* provider-agnostic {@link ConversationSummarizer} seam.
+*
+* @remarks
+* Append turns through the conversation's own `add` (the live tail it owns); `view()` is the model input
+* (each section as a summary message, then the live tail). `compact()` folds the older live
+* messages into a summarized {@link SectionInterface} and regenerates the rollup — it REQUIRES
+* a `summarize` (omitted ⇒ `compact()` throws a `ConversationError`); `keep` retains a recent
+* tail (default `DEFAULT_CONVERSATION_KEEP` — fold ALL). `rehydrate(id)` / `search(query)` read
+* the retained originals. Observable (`emitter` — `compact` / `summary` / `rehydrate`), wired
+* via the reserved `on` option (§8); the emitter isolates a listener throw and routes it to
+* its `error` handler (the `error` option, §13), so it can never corrupt a compaction.

+*
+* @remarks
+* Starts empty; `add(input?)` mints a {@link WorkspaceInterface} (its `id` from the input or a
+* random UUID), flowing the manager's default `on` / `error` in unless the input overrides them,
+* and stores it (an already-present `id` overwrites — last write wins) — and AUTO-ACTIVATES the

+* unchanged. `switch(id)` re-points `active` (an unknown `id` returns `undefined`, leaving
+* `active` unchanged — lenient, never throws); `workspace(id)` / `workspaces()` look up;
+* `remove` (one or a batch, §9.2) reports whether any was removed AND clears `active` if it was

+*

+* Wrap a {@link WorkspaceManagerInterface} as an LLM-callable {@link ToolInterface} — it ADVERTISES

+* its `parameters`, and its handler PARSES the model-supplied args against that contract and
+* DISPATCHES the matched operation against the manager's ACTIVE workspace (the registry ops drive
+* the manager itself), returning the plain result (throwing a typed {@link WorkspaceError} on
+* failure).
+*
+* @remarks
+* MANAGER-DRIVEN: every edit / read op (read / list / has / search / replace / write / splice /
+* prepend / append / move / remove) targets `manager.active`, so the model edits whichever workspace
+* is active and a host can re-point it ({@link WorkspaceManagerInterface.switch}) between turns —
+* wire the agent's registry in via `createWorkspaceTool(agent.context.workspaces)`. Two REGISTRY ops
+* make the model self-sufficient: `workspaces` LISTS the registered workspaces (each
+* `{ id, files, active }`) so it can discover an id, and `switch` re-points the active workspace by
+* id (lenient — an unknown id is a no-op reporting `switched: false`, never a throw).
+*
+* NO-ACTIVE RULE (the ergonomic seam): a WRITING op (write / splice / prepend / append / move /
+* remove / replace) run when `manager.active` is `undefined` AUTO-CREATES + activates a default
+* workspace (`manager.add()`) so the model can just start writing; a pure-READ op (read / list / has
+* / search) against no active workspace returns the EMPTY result (`undefined` / `[]` / `false`),
+* never creating one and never throwing.
+*
+* A plain {@link ToolManagerInterface}-compatible tool (so `createMCPServer` / `createMCPRoutes`
+* expose it over MCP for free — nothing MCP is wired here), built as a factory + dispatch closure
+* exactly like the analogous `createWorkflowTool` in `@orkestrel/workflow` (NOT a class). The
+* contract is compiled ONCE and its JSON Schema is narrowed to the open
+* `Readonly<Record<string, unknown>>` a tool advertises via the shared
+* {@link schemaToParameters} contracts helper, never an assertion
+* (§14) — a compiled contract schema is always a record, so it passes; the `undefined` fallback only
+* satisfies the type's optionality.
+*
+* The handler conforms to the universal tool-handler contract (AGENTS §14): it `contract.parse`s the
+* args, THROWS a `TOOL` {@link WorkspaceError} when no operation arm matched (a malformed / unknown
+* operation), else `switch`es on `op.operation` and RETURNS the plain result — letting a
+* `WorkspaceError` raised by the live workspace (`MODALITY` / `PATTERN` / `RANGE`) PROPAGATE
+* unCAUGHT. The {@link import('./tools/ToolManager.js').ToolManager} performs the ONE
+* canonical wrap (`{ id, name, value }` on a return; `{ id, name, error }` on a throw, ISOLATED so
+* nothing escapes the run), so the outcome appears EXACTLY ONCE over BOTH the agent loop and MCP (a
+* throw → MCP `isError: true`). There is no `{ ok, output, duration }` envelope. The range edit is
+* the FLAT `'splice'` op: its four flat caret integers are reassembled into a {@link import('./types.js').Range}
+* by {@link rangeOf} and fed to the workspace's ranged `write`.
+*
+* @param manager - The workspace registry the tool reads + edits (its ACTIVE workspace; closed over by the handler)
+* @param options - Optional advertised `name` / `description` overrides (see {@link WorkspaceToolOptions})
+* @returns A {@link ToolInterface} (named {@link import('./constants.js').WORKSPACE_TOOL_NAME} by
+*   default) whose `parameters` advertise the `operation`-discriminated union schema
+*
+* @example
+* ```ts
+* import { createWorkspaceManager, createWorkspaceTool, createToolManager } from '@src/core'
+*
+* const manager = createWorkspaceManager()
+* const tool = createWorkspaceTool(manager) // edits the manager's ACTIVE workspace
+* const tools = createToolManager()
+* tools.add(tool) // a model can now read + edit the active workspace by calling `workspace`
