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).

Cancellation: `agent.cancel()` is the single public stop primitive — it clears the queued + steering FIFOs, aborts the in-flight step, and drives a turn-scoped marker the driver checks at every point a turn could start or continue (right after the idle wait, after the `running` flip, before each step, and at the continuation gate) so a turn about to start is dropped. A cancelled turn ends `aborted`; a queued-but-not-started prompt never runs and cannot be batched into the cancelled turn. The marker is reset once per loop iteration, so a cancel governs exactly one turn and never leaks onto a later prompt. (The loop still aborts its own per-step `AbortController` directly on disposal and from `cancel()`; that controller is loop-internal, not a public verb.)

### What belongs to plugins

Everything that goes beyond "call the model, run the tools, repeat" belongs to plugins listening on the event taxonomy:
|
||||
- Hooks and policy: the relevant `agent/*` checkpoints plus the guarded `tools/pre-execute` → `tools/execute` → `tools/post-execute` → `tools/result` pipeline; exact signatures and modes live in the [generated event catalog](../../../docs/cordis-catalog/events.md)

- Sub-agents: implemented outside the loop as `ctx.subagents` providers; in-process providers use `ctx.agents.create()` and owned `AgentHandle` teardown, while child streaming/progress and background/poll collection remain deferred.

- Persistence: `session/event` + `session/flush`
|
||||
- UI: `session/event` (assistant token stream, boundaries, tool activity) + `agent/*` control events (`agent/status`, `agent/created`/`agent/disposed`)

## 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 agents carry no session `cwd`** — `Config` has no cwd field, so a persona referencing `{{cwd}}` fails prompt assembly for config-created agents.
|
||||
- **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).
