+// A pack is an ordered list of sections, each with its own character budget. The harness writes
+// the sections that come from the session's variant (instructions, guardrails, memory, tool
+// guidance, and the indexes of its subagents and scripts), the selected references, the Wiki
+// pointer, and the tools. The foundation supplies its identity; the embedding application supplies
+// any additional identity, role, and current work. Each run's pack is recorded in `runs/<id>/context.json`.
