The session log, system-prompt assembly, tool registry, agent vocabulary, deployment-default model selection, and concrete loop that form the harness's default control spine. These are **product** packages — the stable surface plugins and consumers build against.
`scope` supplies the shared scoping primitive. `agent` owns the public contract, while `agent-loop` is its default implementation; extension plugins depend on the seam so the driver remains swappable. `agent-default-model` owns the deployment selection an Agent entry point uses only when a session has no selection of its own.
Runnable compositions belong to [`examples/agent-spine-demo`](../examples/agent-spine-demo/README.md); this group owns only the swappable spine pieces.
The subsystem reference — the package-by-package loop map, the `Agent` handle and its delivery/interception contracts — is [docs/subsystems/core.md](../../docs/subsystems/core.md); the default runnable composition is [`examples/agent-spine-demo`](../examples/agent-spine-demo/README.md).
