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).

- Event listeners: all `agent/*` events are declared here — no dependency on the loop package needed.
|

- Subagent delegation: implemented by `@deepseek-ai/dsh-subagent`, not by a method on `Agent`; providers create or drive ordinary `Agent` handles through the factory seam, so spawn/fork/ACP transports stay outside the core agent interface.

### What is NOT here (TODO)
|
||||
## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
|
||||
|
||||
- **Inter-agent channels beyond delegation** — shared state, streaming child output, and background/poll semantics remain outside the current synchronous `ctx.subagents` seam.
|
||||
- **`agent/session-start` cannot gate startup** — a synchronous, veto-less emit, so an async listener's injection is best-effort before turn 1; startup gating is a deferred loop-level change.
|
||||
- **No public step-only abort** — `cancel()` clears ALL pending work (queued + steering + in-flight); an abort that preserves queued prompts returns only with a named consumer ([stop-surface RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/simplification/2026-06-20-public-agent-stop-surface.md)).
|
||||
- **`AgentRegistry` enforces unique agent ids, not session ids** — two live agents sharing a session id mis-route bash owner-token notices; [id unification stays proposed](../../../docs/rfc/proposed/simplification/2026-06-20-unify-agent-and-session-id.md).
|
||||
- **`HookContext` carries exactly one `MessageSource`** — contributions from several plugins merged onto one tool call collapse under one source; mixed provenance is unrepresentable.
|
||||
- **`SessionStartSource` reserves `'clear'`/`'compact'` with no emitter yet** — only `'startup'`/`'resume'` occur until the driving subsystems land (`TODO(compaction)`).
|
||||
- **`agent/pre-step`'s `fullSystemPrompt`/`sessionPrefix` parameters are a flagged smell** — compaction is their only consumer; a lazy prompt provider or a compaction-specific pressure seam is the marked revisit.
