New top-level packages/cordis/ group with the self-referential toolset: cordis_inspect (services / plugin tree / tools / dynamic mounts / api / events, the api section intersecting the generated catalog with the live service store), cordis_mount (model-written code evaluated in a node:vm sandbox, mounted under one cordis-dynamic group fiber as dyn-<n>), cordis_unmount (awaited disposal to quiescence). Boundary mechanisms: dual-realm instanceof, JSON realm normalization of dynamic tool results, marker-guarded registration, SchemaSpec teaching errors, parse failures surfaced with the offending line + caret and a line-scoped TypeScript hint, and the unmount-first recipe on tool-name collisions. Config: vmTimeoutMs (schemastery, default 5000). Design record: docs/rfc/implemented/feature/2026-07-08-self-referential-cordis-toolset.md. The tool-catalog boot manifest, its regenerated output, and the pinned tool-name list land here rather than with the other repo registration: the completeness guard globs packages/*/tool-* and fails the generator (and the core/tools spec) the moment the package directory exists.
packages/cordis — the self-referential runtime toolset
Model-facing tools over the live cordis runtime the agent itself runs inside: inspect the plugin tree and service surface, mount model-written plugins, and dispose them again. Design home: the toolset RFC.
