 `--acp` routes through the [Agent Client Protocol](https://agentclientprotocol.com/) so you get a unified event stream -- `agent_message_chunk`, `tool_call`, `plan_update`, `stop_reason` -- instead of writing a parser per CLI. File writes and shell commands flow through agents-cli, which means `--mode plan` becomes a real sandbox: the write RPC is denied, not just unused.
