 `scope/` is the one non-service package here: a dependency-free library (`createScope`/`scopeOf`/`scopeTarget`) the registries and the loop build per-agent scoping on — it sits below `session/` and `system-prompt/` in the module graph precisely so they can consume it without a cycle.

 ## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
 
 - **Tool calls within a step execute sequentially** — parallel execution waits on concurrency-safety metadata in the tool contract (see `dsh-tools`).
-- **No resume-or-create policy on the config path** — config-driven `create()` starts a fresh `${id}-session-<uuid>` every run (`TODO(demo)`), and a config `resumeSessionId` whose resume fails logs a warning and creates no agent.
+- **Config labels are fresh by default** — omitting `sessionId` creates a fresh `${id}-session-<uuid>` on every startup; exact resume-or-create behavior requires an explicit stable `sessionId`, while `resumeSessionId` requires existing persisted history.
 - **Config agents have no per-agent persona field or setup hook** — they use the deployment persona; scoped persona/tool composition is available only through the programmatic `ctx.agents.create()` / `resume()` factory options.
 - **No built-in turn budget** — the default continuation is `continue` whenever a step had tool calls or steering; bounding a runaway turn requires an `agent/turn-continuation` force-stop plugin.
-- **`runLoop`/`Inbox`/`InboxMessage` stay exported with no outside consumer** — [removal is proposed](../../../docs/rfc/proposed/simplification/2026-07-04-prune-dead-core-spine-surface.md).
