architecture.md is the behavior map: layering, service map, seam
pattern, and the loop — everything else defers to its owning tier.
- Seam narrations compress to two-to-four sentences plus links to the
RFC and type-catalog homes that carry the detail (turn-end variant
semantics -> session.md, derivation mapping -> session.md, StreamChunk
conventions -> llm-streaming.md + source).
- The MVP feature-to-mechanism checklist moves de-statused into the
extension cookbook as 'The feature -> mechanism map' — mechanisms
only, no implementation-status bolding to rot; the microkernel RFC's
proof-obligation pointer follows it.
- The layering diagram describes layers by family instead of
enumerating packages (the stale 'future plugins: hooks, compaction'
row is gone); the dependency rule defers to packages/README.md.
- The loop pseudocode, the three externally-cited anchors (the
vocabulary, event taxonomy, waterfall semantics), and the filename
are unchanged.
- Budget ratchet: docs/architecture.md 3897 -> 1800 (now 1,797 words);
the doc-tiers RFC's deferred list prunes the item this ships.
Codex's PR-C review found two (A) blockers:
- tools/post-execute could corrupt the protected outcome. postExecute passed the
mutable `result` to listeners and then read result.callId / spread result on the
return paths, so a listener mutating the reference (flipping isError, rewriting
callId, injecting an error) escaped the decision channel. Now the authoritative
callId/isError/error are SNAPSHOT before the waterfall and the return value is
rebuilt from the snapshot + the typed PostToolDecision — the decision is the only
sanctioned way to change the outcome, and callId is always exec.callId. Added a
regression test that mutates the result reference and asserts it has no effect;
proven to fail red on the unfixed code.
- Public docs/JSDoc still advertised the removed `tools/execute` waterfall after the
split. Swept every current-state reference to tools/pre-execute + tools/post-execute:
the ToolRegistry class JSDoc (and the regenerated catalog), loop.ts's ASCII flow
(also added the prompt-submit/session-start steps it was missing), the package-map
READMEs (packages, core, agent-core), core-data-structures core.md/tools.md, the
bash + acp + invariants src/READMEs (the deferred permission gate is the
tools/pre-execute deny/ask seam now), the cookbook, and the implemented RFCs whose
factual seam catalog drifted. codec.ts's totality prose now lists `rejected`.
Proposed-RFC references are left as-is (frozen proposals, validated when built).
The LLM service exposed three call surfaces (stream/streamBlocks/generate) but
the only production consumer — the agent loop — uses stream() exclusively,
feeding raw chunks through its own BlockAssembler for replay fidelity. Drop the
speculative convenience surfaces and the registry-change event that no listener
consumed, leaving stream() as the single model-call contract for both
production and tests.
- Remove LlmService.streamBlocks() and generate(), the llm/generate waterfall,
and GenerateResult.
- Remove the llm/adapter-change event (declaration + emits) and the
listener-throw rollback ordering that existed only to protect it; keep the
HMR rollback disposer.
- Remove BlockAssembler.flushReady()/flushRemaining()/result() and the flushed
cursor — the streaming-flush slice existed only for streamBlocks().
- Adapter tests drive a stream()+BlockAssembler helper (tests/assemble.ts)
instead of generate(), exercising the same path production uses.
- Land the AGENTS.md "RFCs are proposals, not golden truth" principle and move
both RFCs proposed -> implemented.
Implements:
- docs/rfc/implemented/simplification/2026-06-20-drop-unconsumed-llm-adapter-change-event.md
- docs/rfc/implemented/simplification/2026-06-20-drop-unconsumed-llm-assembled-surfaces.md
Add a second axis to every RFC — its class (feature, bug-fix,
simplification, architecture, process, testing) — encoded in the path
as docs/rfc/{lifecycle}/{class}/file.md. The folder is the label, so
the closed set is enforced by structure rather than a parsed field.
Two new doc-sync gates back it:
- verify-rfc-classification: every RFC sits in a valid class folder and
the README index lists it under the matching lifecycle→class heading.
- verify-doc-refs: every docs/*.md path cited in a packages|examples TS
comment resolves — closes a drift class verify-md-links can't see, and
catches the four comment refs this reorg moved.
The README gains a Classification section explaining the taxonomy and
per-class index sub-sections. A self-referential process RFC records why
the scheme is path-encoded and gated.
