+# Changelog

+All notable changes to `@theokit/sdk-handoff` are documented in this file.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/),

+(No unreleased changes.)
+
+## [0.1.0] — 2026-06-08
+
+### Added
+
+- Initial extraction from `@theokit/sdk@1.7.0` `src/handoff.ts` + `internal/handoff/` + `types/handoff.ts`.
+- Public API: `Handoff.create(target, opts?)`, `Handoff.asPlugin({ targets, maxHandoffDepth? })`, `handoffTo(agent, opts?)`.
+- Errors (loop protection): `HandoffLoopError`, `HandoffPairLoopError`, `HandoffSelfReferenceError`, `HandoffReceiverDisposedError`, `HandoffNameCollisionError`.
+- Sub-path `@theokit/sdk-handoff/internal/tool-injector` — used by `@theokit/sdk` to lazy-load the dispatcher when consumers use the transitional `Agent.create({ handoffs: [...] })` option.
+- Peer-deps: `@theokit/sdk@>=1.7.0`, `zod@^3.25.0 || ^4.0.0`.
+
+### Notes
+
+- The `Handoff.asPlugin()` factory is the **preferred** API in 2.x. The legacy `Agent.create({ handoffs: [...] })` option still works while `@theokit/sdk-handoff` is installed (optional peer model), but the codemod marks every call site with a `CODEMOD` comment. Plan removes the option in the 2.0.0 cohort bump.
+- Inline `to-json-schema.ts`: sdk-handoff/src/internal/to-json-schema.ts is a 126-LOC duplicate of `@theokit/sdk` `internal/zod/to-json-schema.ts`. Reason: rollup-plugin-dts emits incomplete declaration files for newly-added internal/ barrels in `@theokit/sdk` (consistent bug — affected observability, security; would affect zod too). Inlining sidesteps the bug AND keeps sdk-handoff self-contained.

+# @theokit/sdk-handoff
+
+Inter-agent dispatch for `@theokit/sdk`. Typed `Handoff` descriptors with loop protection (self-reference, A↔B pair, multi-hop, receiver-disposed).
+
+Extracted from `@theokit/sdk@1.7.0` as part of the SDK 2.0 package split (ADRs D214-D229).
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+pnpm add @theokit/sdk @theokit/sdk-handoff
+```
+
+## Quick start
+
+```typescript
+import { Agent } from "@theokit/sdk";
+import { Handoff } from "@theokit/sdk-handoff";
+
+const billing = await Agent.create({
+  name: "billing",
+  model: { id: "openai/gpt-4o-mini" },
+});
+
+const support = await Agent.create({
+  name: "support",
+  model: { id: "openai/gpt-4o-mini" },
+  // Preferred (new in 2.x): handoffs wire via Plugin protocol.
+  plugins: [Handoff.asPlugin({ targets: [billing] })],
+});
+
+await support.send("I need help with my invoice");   // → support delegates to billing
+```
+
+The previous `Agent.create({ handoffs: [...] })` option is **deprecated** in 2.x. It still works while `@theokit/sdk-handoff` is installed (the framework lazy-imports the tool-injector at runtime), but the codemod marks every call site with a `CODEMOD` comment recommending the `plugins: [Handoff.asPlugin({...})]` pattern. Plan removes the option entirely in 2.0.0 cohort.
+
+## API
+
+### `Handoff.asPlugin({ targets, maxHandoffDepth? }): Plugin`
+
+Returns a `Plugin` consumed by `Agent.create({ plugins: [...] })`. The plugin runs at agent initialization and appends one `CustomTool` per target agent into the host's tool registry. Each invocation of the tool dispatches the conversation to the target agent (loop-protected).
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `targets` | `Array<SDKAgent \| HandoffDescriptor>` | (required) | Agents the host can hand off to. |
+| `maxHandoffDepth` | `number` | `5` | Hop count cap. `0` disables handoff entirely. |
+
+### Errors
+
+All errors extend `Error` and live in `@theokit/sdk-handoff`:
+
+- `HandoffLoopError` — multi-hop loop detected at runtime (A→B→C→A).
+- `HandoffPairLoopError` — A→B and B→A registered simultaneously.
+- `HandoffSelfReferenceError` — agent handoffs to itself.
+- `HandoffReceiverDisposedError` — target was disposed before dispatch.
+- `HandoffNameCollisionError` — two targets share the same agent name.
+
+### `handoffTo(agent, opts?): HandoffDescriptor`
+
+Helper for one-off descriptor construction without going through `Handoff.create`.
+
+## How it fits with `@theokit/sdk`
+
+- **Foundation:** `definePlugin`, `Plugin`, `CustomTool`, and `SDKAgent` types come from `@theokit/sdk`.
+- **Optional peer model:** `@theokit/sdk@1.7.0` lazy-imports `@theokit/sdk-handoff/internal/tool-injector` only when `Agent.create({ handoffs: [...] })` is called. Without the package installed, the option throws an actionable error.
+- **No kernel coupling beyond types:** sdk-handoff never imports from `@theokit/sdk/internal/runtime` or the agent loop.
+
+## Migration from `@theokit/sdk@1.x`
+
+Before (1.x):
+
+```typescript
+import { Agent, Handoff, handoffTo } from "@theokit/sdk";
+
+const support = await Agent.create({
+  name: "support",
+  handoffs: [billing],
+});
+```
+
+After (2.x):
+
+```typescript
+import { Agent } from "@theokit/sdk";
+import { Handoff } from "@theokit/sdk-handoff";
+
+const support = await Agent.create({
+  name: "support",
+  plugins: [Handoff.asPlugin({ targets: [billing] })],
+});
+```
+
+See `docs/migration/1-x-to-2-0.md` in the monorepo root.
