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).

## Vocabulary
|
||||
|
||||
`FsTargetKey` / `FsVersion` are branded opaque ids ([the branded-ids RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-20-branded-ids.md)) — consumers must not parse `targetKey` or interpret `version`; only `displayPath` is for model/UI output. `FsWriteIntent` is the explicit GUARDED write intent (`createIfAbsent` creates a missing target and rejects an existing one with `FS_NOT_OBSERVED`; `replaceIfVersion` replaces only at the observed version, else `FS_STALE_VERSION`); omitting it from `writeText` is the third, unconditional state. Failures throw `FsError` (extends `HarnessError`, [the structured error taxonomy RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-11-structured-error-taxonomy.md)) carrying a stable `FsErrorCode` (`FS_NOT_FOUND`, `FS_NOT_DIRECTORY`, `FS_NOT_TEXT`, `FS_NOT_REGULAR_FILE`, `FS_PERMISSION_DENIED`, `FS_IO_ERROR`, `FS_STALE_VERSION`, `FS_NOT_OBSERVED`, `FS_AMBIGUOUS_EDIT`, `FS_EDIT_NOT_FOUND`, `FS_ABORTED`); the tool registry surfaces `{ name, code }` on `isError` results. See `src/types.ts` for the full contracts.

## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
|
||||
|
||||
- **Text-only by contract** — backends reject binary/non-UTF-8 content with `FS_NOT_TEXT`; binary-safe operations are a deliberate deferral of [the tool-schemas RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/feature/2026-06-17-filesystem-tool-schemas.md).
|
||||
- **Seven primitives only** — no delete, rename/move, copy, or watch; `listDir` is single-level, with recursion, globbing, pagination, and search out of scope per [the directory-listing RFC](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-07-03-filesystem-directory-listing-seam.md).
|
||||
- **`listDir` has no in-repo consumer yet** — skill discovery and a model-facing `ls` tool are the named follow-ups; sessions list directories via `bash` meanwhile.
|
||||
- **No IO deadline** — the seam arms no timeout; cancellation is a best-effort optional `AbortSignal` per primitive (the deliberate [fs-family stance](../README.md)).
|
||||
- **Resolve-then-operate costs a remote backend two round-trips per tool call** — folding or caching resolution is left to such a backend.
