Add a gated Known Limitations and Deferred Work section to every package README
Every packages/*/* README now carries a canonical '## Known Limitations and
Deferred Work' section: condensed, evidence-backed bullets for consumer-visible
gaps (unimplemented features, platform caveats, MVP cuts) and consciously
postponed work (TODO/FIXME/XXX markers, RFC deferrals still open). The ten
pre-existing ad-hoc variants ('What is NOT here (TODO)', 'Deferred',
'Limitations (MVP)', 'Known limitations (tracked TODOs)', ...) are normalized
into the canonical heading.
A new doc-sync gate, scripts/verify-readme-limitations.ts, enforces the shape:
exactly one limitations-like heading per package README, byte-equal to the
canonical h2, with at least one bullet; near-miss headings fail so variants
cannot creep back. Packages with genuinely nothing to declare (dsh-brand,
dsh-timeout, dsh-subagent-mock, dsh-app-boot) are whitelisted in the script and
must NOT carry the section; whitelist entries are validated against the scanned
package set so a rename fails loud.
Wired into the doc-sync chain (package.json) and the run-gates doc-sync leaf
set; the standing rule lands in packages/AGENTS.md and the adding-a-package
cookbook; decision record in
docs/rfc/implemented/process/2026-07-10-readme-known-limitations-gate.md
(RFC index regenerated).
Also fixes two stale '(deferred)' markers claiming dsh-compact-basic is
unimplemented (the dsh-compact seam README's package table and the seam's
module doc comment).

## Why a code bundle, not a shared YAML include
|
||||
|
||||
A YAML include can dedupe the config, but it cannot OWN a `bin`, and it can only *describe* the front-door coupling in a comment and trust each leaf to obey. Moving the spine into a package, and the front-door cluster into the app packages, means the default leaf for an ACP server has no logger entry to copy wrong — "the ACP app never logs to stdout" stops being a prose warning a leaf must remember and becomes the app package's default shape (a leaf can still add a sibling logger, so the rule stays documented — but it has nothing to get wrong by default). Services register in the root store keyed by their isolate symbol, so a child loaded here is visible to the bundle's siblings (the leaf's adapter and executor) exactly as a nested `plugin-include` subtree's services were — cordis gates every read on `inject`, never on load order.

## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
|
||||
|
||||
- **The spine set is fixed in code** — `apply()` mounts every child unconditionally (including `tool-bash`); no config excludes or replaces one, so swapping the loop or dropping a spine member means composing a different bundle.
|
||||
- **`dsh-invariants` mounts unconditionally** — a dev/test plugin with default `freeze: true` and no reachable toggle in this bundle's `Config`, so every deployment currently pays the assertion/freeze cost.
