+# Core
+
+The **core** subsystem is [`packages/core`](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness/blob/master/packages/core/README.md) — the packages every composition boots: the event-sourced session log, system-prompt assembly, the tool registry, the agent types, and the concrete loop that drives them. This page explains what the `agent`/`agent-loop` pair declares — how an agent is created and owned, and the `Agent` handle's delivery, cancellation, and interception contracts — plus the two type patterns every subsystem follows. The group's dedicated pages and the rest of the folder are indexed in the [subsystems README](./index.md).
+
+## The spine, package by package
+
+A turn flows through the six packages in one loop: the driver in [`agent-loop`](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness/tree/master/packages/core/agent-loop) claims a queued prompt, opens a turn on the [session log](./session.md) (`ctx.sessions`), assembles the request prefix through [system-prompt](./system-prompt.md) (`ctx.systemPrompt`) and derives history from the log, streams the model response through the [LLM seam](./llm-streaming.md), dispatches tool calls through the [tool registry](./tools.md) (`ctx.tools`), and appends every model-visible fact back onto the log before the next step derives from it. The conversation vocabulary the loop moves — `Message`, `ContentBlock`, `StreamChunk`, the model request — is declared by [`packages/llm`](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness/blob/master/packages/llm/README.md) and documented on [llm-streaming.md](./llm-streaming.md).
+
+| Package | Owns | Page |
+|---|---|---|
+| `session/` | The append-only `SessionEvent` log and in-memory store — the single source of truth (`ctx.sessions`) | [session.md](./session.md) |
+| `system-prompt/` | Prompt-section and tool-schema assembly (`ctx.systemPrompt`) | [system-prompt.md](./system-prompt.md) |
+| `tools/` | The scoped tool registry and guarded execution pipeline (`ctx.tools`) | [tools.md](./tools.md) |
+| `agent/` | The `Agent` interface, live registry, initiator scope, and `agent/*` event vocabulary (`ctx.agents`) | this page |
+| `agent-loop/` | The concrete driver implementing the public `Agent` contract (`ctx.agentLoop`) | this page |
+| `scope/` | The scoped-registration primitive the registries and loop build per-agent scoping on | [scope.md](./scope.md) |
+
+`scope/` is the one non-service package: a dependency-free library (`createScope`/`scopeOf`/`scopeTarget`) that sits below `session/` and `system-prompt/` in the module graph precisely so they can consume it without a cycle. `agent-loop` is the one concrete implementation of the public `Agent` contract and lives here because it is the harness's default product loop; it runs each driver inside `ctx.agents.withInitiator()`. Extension plugins depend on `agent` — including when they need the initiating Agent — and never on `agent-loop` directly, so the loop stays swappable. The default composition that wires this spine into a runnable agent is [`examples/agent-spine-demo`](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness/blob/master/packages/examples/agent-spine-demo/README.md).
+
+## Creation and ownership
+
+Consumers create agents through `ctx.agents` — `create()` builds a fresh session and agent under one caller-supplied `SessionId`, `resume()` loads a persisted session first — or declaratively through the loop's config entries. Programmatic creation returns the owner's handle:
+
+Source: [`packages/core/agent/src/index.ts`](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness/blob/master/packages/core/agent/src/index.ts)
+
+```ts type-equiv
+/**
+ * An owned agent plus its disposer, returned by {@link AgentRegistry.create} /
+ * {@link AgentRegistry.resume}. The disposer is a CAPABILITY: among consumers,
+ * only the holder can tear this agent down. The registered factory provider is
+ * also a structural owner because the scoped agent depends on that provider's
+ * service API; provider unload stops and drains every live handle it made.
+ * `dispose()` stops the loop, awaits its exit, unregisters the agent, removes
+ * its session from the store, and finally unwinds its scoped world.
+ *
+ * `ctx.agents.get(id)` still returns a bare {@link Agent} — the handle is
+ * exposed only to the consumer owner that created it; the structural provider
+ * reaches the same teardown internally. Config-created agents (the loop's own
+ * startup) are owned by the loop fiber and never need a handle.
+ */
+interface AgentHandle {
+  agent: Agent
+  dispose(): Promise<void>
+}
+```
+
+`CreateAgentOptions` carries the shared identity and everything a fresh agent needs before publication: session metadata (`meta` — validated `cwd`, fork lineage, seed boundary, origin classification, delegation depth), an optional `seed` replay prefix for forks, per-agent `AgentOptions`, a creation-only cancellation `signal`, and `setup`. `ResumeAgentOptions` is the persisted-identity counterpart: `resumeSessionId`, `agentOptions`, `signal`, and `setup`. The `setup` callback (`AgentSetup`) composes the agent's scoped world while both ids are still unpublished — everything registered through `agentCtx` exists before `agent/created` and the first prompt assembly — and may return a synchronous commit invoked immediately before publication; a setup rejection, commit throw, or owner disposal rolls the transaction back without publishing either id.
+
+`AgentFactory` is the creation interface behind the registry: the loop registers its factory via `ctx.agents.setFactory()`, so consumers use `ctx.agents` without depending on the concrete loop package. The exact `create`/`resume` signatures and rollback contracts are in the [generated section](#ctxagents--agentregistry) below.
+
+## The agent handle
+
+`Agent` is the surface every plugin (UI, hooks, orchestrators) programs against; `ctx.agents.get(id)` returns it, and the [initiator scope](#initiating-agent) carries it. The concrete implementation is package-internal to dsh-agent-loop; nothing outside the loop depends on it. The unified `send` method exposes target and wakeup routing directly; `followup`, `steer`, and `inject` are fixed-preset aliases.

+ * closes, or checkpoints turns. Disposal removes the agent from its registry;
+ * it is not a third observable status.
+ */
+type AgentStatus = 'idle' | 'running'
+```
+
+`running` describes the driver-wide drain interval and may span consecutive queued turns; it does not prove a turn is still open. Disposal removes the agent from the registry and emits `agent/disposed`; it is not a terminal status value. `followup()` returns no handle: its `MessageId` identifies durable inbox insertion, claim, and discard facts, not a later assistant output or turn ending. `whenIdle()` observes the whole agent, so callers may call a receipt-to-idle interval a run only when they explicitly own that interval ([decision](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness/blob/master/.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-30-followup-enqueue-and-owned-runs.md)).
+
+```ts type-equiv
+/** Merge-extensible agent creation options. Persona belongs to system-prompt sections. */
+interface AgentOptions {
+  /** Provider route (must have a registered adapter at call time). */
+  provider?: string
+  /** Model id interpreted by the selected provider adapter. */
+  model?: string
+  /** Maximum output tokens for each conversation-model request. */
+  maxTokens?: number
+}
+```
+
+Dispatch requires `provider` and `model` after `agent/request`. When present, `maxTokens` must be a positive safe integer and caps every conversation-model request; omission allows the exact-model adapter default to materialize before the request header, or otherwise leaves provider behavior unchanged. An agent-scoped `deployment:persona` prompt section may shadow the global default persona.
+
+The inbox is the delivery vocabulary — two ordered pending-message lists the agent owns as a durable projection:
+
+```ts type-equiv
+/** One of the two ordered pending-message lists owned by an agent. */
+type InboxTarget = 'next-turn' | 'next-step'
+```
+
+Every pending occurrence is its `UserMessage`; `MessageId` is the sole identity. `Inbox.append`, `prepend`, `replace`, `remove`, `clear`, `splice`, and `claim` record normalized durable `agent/inbox/spliced` mutations and reject duplicate pending ids. `replace(messageId, newMessage)` and `remove(messageId)` locate the pending message across both lists; replacement may change identity and emits the old message as discarded followed by the new message as inserted. Ordinary removals and `clear()` are cancellations. `claim(target)` removes the proposed step batch — all `next-step` input plus, at a turn boundary, one `next-turn` message — through pure deletion splices without emitting discarded notifications, and the loop separately emits per-message claimed notifications. Whole-queue consumers such as UI projections reconstruct `nextTurn` and `nextStep` from the durable splices, while consumers following one message use the exact `agent/inbox/inserted`, `claimed`, and `discarded` notifications.
+
+Cancellation:
+
+```ts type-equiv
+/** Options for {@link Agent.cancel}. */
+interface CancelOptions {
+  /**
+   * Preserve queued and steering inbox items instead of discarding them. The
+   * active turn is still aborted, but un-started and pending work survives for a
+   * later turn and no canceled inbox splice is logged.
+   */
+  keepInbox?: boolean | undefined
+}
+```
+
+```ts type-equiv
+/** Why an active agent driver was cancelled. */
+type AgentCancelCause =
+  | { readonly kind: 'user' }
+  | { readonly kind: 'parent' }
+  | { readonly kind: 'hook'; readonly reason: string }
+  | { readonly kind: 'disposed' }
+```
+
+The cause is a TypeScript-enforced same-process input. An active cancellation holder copies it into the runtime-only `AbortSignal.reason`; a signal grants cooperating listeners no classification authority. Durable `turn/end` retains the coarse `{ kind: 'aborted' }` outcome; recording who requested cancellation would require a separate durable event rather than overloading the terminal result.
+
+The [event taxonomy](../index.md#events) owns the `agent/*` lifecycle, checkpoint, and waterfall contracts. Turn and step boundaries are durable session events rather than agent emits.
+
+## Initiating Agent
+
+The process-local initiator carried by `ctx.agents` is the exact `Agent` above, not a separate frame or copied identity. Ambient presence is neither liveness proof nor authorization; the [initiator-scope decision](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness/blob/master/.agents/notes/implemented/architecture/2026-07-15-agent-initiator-scope.md) defines its lifetime and scope rules.
+
+## Interception decisions
+
+Pre-step decisions use the same identified `UserMessage` type as durable user-role input. The entered batch is authoritative and preserves every message's `id` and `source`. Hook bridges map their native decision fields onto this typed result.
+
+Source: [`packages/core/agent/src/types.ts`](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness/blob/master/packages/core/agent/src/types.ts)
+
+`agent/pre-step` receives one payload carrying the exclusive claimed batch (`messages`), the proposed step's coordinates (`turn`, `step`), and the current turn's cancellation `signal`. The initial proposal runs inside an open turn before any step; a tool continuation may submit an empty claimed batch between steps:
+
+It returns a `PreStepDecision`. Reject opens no step. Enter supplies the complete message batch appended after `step/start`; claimed messages omitted by the final decision remain removed, while input inserted after the claim stays pending:
+
+```ts type-equiv
+/** Whether and with which messages the loop enters a proposed step. */
+type PreStepDecision =
+  | { kind: 'reject' }
+  | { kind: 'enter'; messages: UserMessage[] }
+```
+
+`agent/request-error` runs after a failed model step closes and before its turn closes. Listeners can repair durable state or await policy work while the failed turn's signal is still live. A handling listener returns `{ kind: 'retry' }` without calling `next()`; the default `undefined` leaves the failure terminal.
+
+```ts type-equiv
+/** Action returned by a listener that owns model-request recovery. */
+type RequestErrorAction = { kind: 'retry' } | undefined
+```
+
+`agent/pre-step` is the only serial listener chain before request derivation. `agent/turn-stopping` runs when a turn has no tool or steering continuation, before one final steering drain.
+
+`agent/session-start` carries a `SessionStartSource` (why the session lifecycle began; a bridge keys its SessionStart matcher on it):
+
+```ts type-equiv
+/** Why a session lifecycle began; seeded creates are `startup`, while persisted loads are `resume`. */
+type SessionStartSource = 'startup' | 'resume' | 'clear' | 'compact'
+```
+
+## Sessions
+
+A `Session` is an **append-only log** of typed `SessionEvent`s — the single source of truth. The LLM message history is *derived* from the log (`deriveMessages()`), not stored separately. Every entry carries a monotonic `seq`, a `time`, and a `type`-discriminated `data` payload; surface variants may also list cited earlier events in `sourceEventSeqs` and carry a `surfaceOp`.
+
+The `SessionEvent` envelope's exact conditional fields, the twelve event variants (`turn/start`, `turn/end`, `step/start`, `step/end`, `user/message`, `assistant/chunk`, `assistant/message`, `tool/call`, `tool/result`, `steering/message`, `todo/write`, `request/header`), the `deriveMessages()` projection rules, the `TurnTrigger`/`TurnEndReason` reasons, and the execution-enclosure and standalone-event rules are on **[session.md](./session.md)**. How the log is made durable — the `SessionPersistence` interface, JSONL/SQLite backends, the `session/flush` checkpoint, crash recovery, and `SessionHeader` — is on **[persistence.md](./persistence.md)**.
+
+## `ToolDefinition`
+
+The one pipeline-authoring type that is core: what every registered tool *is* — a model-facing `ToolSchema` plus an `execute` function and optional final-content and UI callbacks. A tool author rarely constructs it by hand (the `defineTool` DSL builds it with typed arguments), but it is the contract the registry holds and the loop dispatches through.
+
+Its full fields, the `defineTool`/`ValueSchemaSpec`/`ParameterSchemaSpec` typed schema DSL, the `ToolExecution`/`ToolExecutionResult` waterfall types, and the tool-presentation UI types are on **[tools.md](./tools.md)**.
+
+## Repo-wide type patterns
+
+Two patterns recur across every subsystem and are documented once, here.
+
+<a id="the-map--derived-union-pattern"></a>
+
+### The `…Map → derived-union` pattern
+
+Almost every extensible sum type in the harness follows one pattern: an interface keyed by a discriminant tag (the `…Map`), from which the union is derived with `keyof`. Plugins add variants by **declaration merging** — no edit to the owning package.
+
+```ts ignore-check
+// The pattern, schematically:
+interface ThingMap {
+  'a': { kind: 'a'; /* … */ }
+  'b': { kind: 'b'; /* … */ }
+}
+type ThingKind = keyof ThingMap          // 'a' | 'b'
+type Thing = ThingMap[keyof ThingMap]    // the discriminated union
+
+// A plugin extends it without touching the source package:
+declare module '@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm' {
+  interface ThingMap {
+    'c': { kind: 'c'; /* … */ }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Six canonical maps use this pattern; a plugin author extends these:
+
+| Map | Package | Derives | Catalog |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `ContentBlockMap` | dsh-llm | `ContentBlock` | [llm-streaming.md](./llm-streaming.md#content-blocks-and-messages) |
+| `MessageSourceMap` | dsh-llm | `MessageSource` | [llm-streaming.md](./llm-streaming.md#content-blocks-and-messages) |
+| `FinishReasonMap` | dsh-llm | `FinishReason` | [llm-streaming.md](./llm-streaming.md#the-model-request-and-result) |
+| `TurnTriggerMap` | dsh-session | `TurnTrigger` | [session.md](./session.md) |
+| `TurnEndReasonMap` | dsh-session | `TurnEndReason` | [session.md](./session.md) |
+| `SessionEventMap` | dsh-session | `SessionEvent` | [session.md](./session.md) |
+
+Two large discriminated unions are the ones consumers `switch` over most: **`StreamChunk`** (the streaming protocol) and **`SessionEvent`** (the log entry). Per the repo convention, `switch` on the tag — don't chain `if`s — so each arm narrows and a typo'd tag fails to compile.
+
+### Branded IDs
+
+IDs passed between packages are **branded** — structurally strings, but non-interchangeable at the type level (a `SessionId` cannot be passed where a `CallId` is expected). Construction goes through a per-type factory; comparison, logging, and JSON behave as ordinary strings.
+
+The `Branded<B>` primitive lives in its own type-only package, [dsh-brand](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness/tree/master/packages/util/brand) (no runtime code, no harness-package dependency), so any package can brand the ids it owns without depending on an unrelated capability package.
+
+Source: [`packages/util/brand/src/index.ts`](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness/blob/master/packages/util/brand/src/index.ts)
+
+```ts type-equiv
+/** A string carrying a compile-time-only brand `B`. */
+type Branded<B extends string> = string & { readonly [BRAND]: B }
+```
+
+The two core IDs are `CallId` (correlates a tool call with its result; dsh-llm) and `SessionId` (the shared live agent and durable session identity; dsh-session). Capability packages brand their own ids too, such as `JobId` in [jobs.md](./jobs.md).

+### `ctx.agents` — `AgentRegistry`
+
+Agent service (`ctx.agents`): tracks live agents and carries the initiating Agent through one process-local asynchronous driver chain. Agent *creation* is provided by whichever plugin implements the AgentFactory (`@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-loop`), registered via setFactory.

+Initiator methods provide same-process causal attribution only. Ambient presence is neither liveness proof nor authorization; subjects and owners remain explicit, as does identity at worker, process, persistence, and wire boundaries. Returned Promise boundaries drain during teardown, except a nested lineage that starts an owning-fiber unload is excluded from its own drain.
