Why:
Make independent version consumption work from ordinary clones while retaining historical commits and existing branch workspaces.
Evidence:
SELF Dev task receipts record 24 CI boundary cases, all workflow syntax checks, readonly private-source prefetch in clean exports, provider tests and package installation without acquisition scripts. Platform CI remains pending.
Impact:
Remove only replaced index links, preserve old physical checkouts, and update dependency guidance. Library consumers retain their immutable versions until an explicit dependency update.
Refs:
Agent-System-Dev feature/dependency-workspace; approved versioned-dependency r1, U3-U7 and R15.
Why: Allow consumers to download an immutable module revision without nested source checkouts or local path replacements.
Evidence: SELF package tests and the prior canonical-path rejection are recorded in the Dev dependency-workspace task card; remote consumption is replayed against the committed candidate.
Impact: Change the module identity and its Go imports while preserving API behavior. Existing historical submodule revisions remain buildable.

Why: The embedded tier starts without auth, and nothing checked Origin or Host, so a public bind or a foreign page could call write APIs.
Evidence: go test ./internal/config ./internal/server covering listen policy, origin rejection, and response headers.
Impact: Non-loopback without auth exits before opening the database. HTML artifacts get a sandbox CSP. Reverse proxies must list their public host in allowedHosts.

Why: startup had only defaults and CLI flags; dev/test/prod operation needs
the standard baseline (explicit file, environment, explicit-only CLI) and a
read-only diagnostic.
Evidence: internal/config unit tests cover precedence, unset-CLI no-override,
presence-based file semantics, unknown-key/missing-file errors, env bool
parsing, explain source labelling and DSN redaction; full suite 12 packages
pass; live run of config explain with envs/prod.json shows correct layer
attribution and redaction.
Impact: serve gains --config and AGENT_SYSTEM_* env overrides (behavior
unchanged when neither is used); new config explain subcommand; envs/
examples and PROJECT.md configuration section.
