Tianyi Cui 605587e79c docs(rfc): classify RFCs by kind via path-encoded subdirectories
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.

# RFC: Microkernel — extension via Cordis event taxonomy, one concrete loop
Status: implemented (accepted 2026-06-11)
<!-- XXX: legacy ADR/RFC body format, not yet normalized to a unified RFC template. -->
## Context
The product principle (see the 微内核Harness实现思路 design doc) is "everything is a plugin": hooks, /goal, /loop, dynamic workflows, compaction, sandboxing, permissions, UI, persistence, MCP, skills must all be writable as plugins without modifying the core. Candidate mechanisms considered: a purpose-built middleware stack (koa-compose style), an explicit phase state machine plugins can insert into, or Cordis's native event system.
## Decision
Pure Cordis event taxonomy. The loop's extension seams are typed events with deliberate dispatch modes:
- **waterfall** (around-middleware) where plugins mutate or veto: `agent/request`, `agent/step-result`, `agent/turn-continuation`, `tools/execute`, `llm/stream`, `llm/generate`, `system-prompt/assemble`.
- **emit** (sync fire-and-forget) for notifications: turn/step boundaries, stream chunks, lifecycle, errors.
- **parallel** (awaited) for the one durability checkpoint: `session/flush`.
The event vocabulary lives in interface packages (dsh-agent declares the agent/* events); `@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-loop` is the only concrete loop plugin and is itself swappable — nothing outside it may depend on it.
## Consequences
- Every MVP feature maps to a listener (the "plugin sanity checklist" in docs/architecture.md is the proof obligation, kept current).
- HMR and disposal come free: listeners and registrations are Cordis effects.
- Waterfall semantics (call `next()` or short-circuit) are non-obvious and must be taught — documented in AGENTS.md and covered by composition tests.
- The loop must be defensive: plugin exceptions are contained at turn level, steering from any seam is never stranded (regression-tested).
