Why: The client only learned about a tool call once execution started, so long argument generation looked like a frozen cursor.
Evidence: go test ./...
Impact: New tool.call.delta and tool.output events; tool.result may include durationMs. Unknown event types stay ignored.

Why: The workflow executor needs a shared contract for subagent profiles, plugin scripts, and per-step plus whole-run retry caps.
Evidence: go test ./... passed, including the new workflow_def golden.
Impact: New fields are omitempty, so existing workflow JSON still decodes. Kind script is additive.

Why: User overrides of a subagent profile need a place on the shared contract, and empty fields must stay omitted so older modules keep their meaning.
Evidence: go test ./... passed, including the new prompt_module_subagent golden.
Impact: Existing modules serialize the same. Frontend and UI contracts still need a copy of the type.

Why: Downstream repositories need a versioned public manifest for skills, MCP, knowledge, parsers, agents, channels, and pages without forking the base.
Evidence: go test ./... passed after omitzero on empty scope and backend so the golden plugin_manifest stays stable.
Impact: apiVersion 1.0 remains accepted. New provides fields are optional. Merge without squash so Backend can pin this commit.

Impact: apiVersion 1.0 remains accepted. New provides fields are optional. Scope and backend are omitted when zero.

Why: The chat timeline needs a persisted thinking duration, and tool duration already lives on the tool call, so the thinking part had nowhere to put it.
Evidence: go test ./... passes; the message golden now includes durationMs on the thinking part.
Impact: Additive JSON field with omitempty. Existing clients ignore unknown fields.

Why: project channel convention (pseudo-key project:<projectId>) was
duplicated across runmgr/server/store; centralize so replay envelopes
match live stamping.
Evidence: go test green.
Impact: no behavior change; enables store replay stamping.
Why: D50 approved — the project inbox needs its own SSE stream reusing the
conversation event mechanism via the pseudo-key project:<projectId>; the
envelope stamps project ownership (additive field).
Evidence: conformance golden event_project_stream; go test green.
Impact: additive only (omitempty); consumers ignore unknown fields.
Refs: documents proposal 2026-09-30-card-stream-artifact-unify-project-inbox.md (D50).
Why: the fs tool family (proposal 2026-09-30-file-preview-and-reserved-
capabilities) is implemented but must stay invisible to models and tool
listings until a runtime gate opens it.
Evidence: new bool field with json omitempty; no golden samples carry it;
go test ./... green.
Impact: registries can mark gated tools; servers and runners filter on
it (backend PR in the same task).
Refs: task feature/file-preview-caps.
Why: agents rediscovered Gitea hosts and credential locations from
scratch each session, and the retired git-panel host kept failing with
TLS broken-pipe errors before the right host was recalled.
Evidence: curl git-home...:30319/api/v1/version with token from
~/.secrets/gitea -> {"version":"1.27.3"}; ssh -p 31411 git@git-ssh...
(BatchMode) -> "Hi there, weichen!" with key ~/.ssh/home_gitea (ED25519,
SHA256:GYXaOXIMeloQ1fKSfdJ/ndgPQzs/Ix7Hk62ekfkfQ20). Same section already
merged in Agent-System-Dev (PR #73).
Impact: AGENTS.md only; records hosts and credential locations, no
secret values (baseline hard boundary 2).
Refs: Agent-System-Dev PR #73
Why: cross-session transcript reading needs per-conversation outbound
(allowCrossRead, default true) and inbound (crossPrivate, default false)
flags alongside the project-level gate; see the approved proposal.
Evidence: go test ./... passes with golden conversation.json regenerated
to exercise both wire fields.
Impact: additive contract fields (omitempty), wire-compatible for
existing clients that ignore unknown fields.
Refs: Agent-System-Documents proposals/2026-09-30-cross-session-reading.md
(Dev task feature/cross-session-reading).
Why: plugins and the host need one shared avatar primitive for member/
owner displays in cards, messages, and admin surfaces (user decision
2026-09-30: avatars, cards, settings become base capabilities plugins
reuse directly).
Evidence: go test green with regenerated golden (single avatar with
sub/tone plus a stacked group); omitempty keeps existing wire samples
byte-stable.
Impact: additive optional UINode field + type; unknown-type consumers
ignore it (forward compat). Renderers gain 'avatar' via the ui repo.
Refs: Agent-System-Documents proposal 2026-09-30-ui-redesign-and-auth.md
Why: the approved task-centric sidebar (proposal 2026-09-30, option A) needs
server-authoritative pin and archive state on conversations; client-side
storage would be fake state against the event-sourced model.
Evidence: go test ./... passes; omitempty keeps wire format and golden
samples byte-identical for zero values (backward compatible).
Impact: additive optional fields; consumers ignoring unknown fields are
unaffected (forward-compat principle). Backend consumes via submodule bump.
Refs: Agent-System-Documents docs/proposals/2026-09-30-ui-redesign-and-auth.md (P6/P8, R1)
Why: prompts are moving from code into a data library; core needs the
PromptModule/Trigger/Block contract and profiles need an ordered
promptModules reference (empty = default base+env set).
Evidence: unit-covered via backend prompts package tests over this
contract; composite make test green.
Impact: additive contract fields only; no behavior change in core.
Refs: feature/prompt-library task card.
Why: Contract foundation for the inbox/command-bus/workspaces phase (proposal
D28/D30): ActivityCard as the first-class state object behind the right-rail
inbox, card.* stream events, inline-confirm anchoring (anchorMessageId +
blocked/blockReason) on HITL, seven new UI schema vocabularies, plugin
provides.commands/workspaces, workflow card step and workspace declarations.
Evidence: go vet clean; conformance goldens regenerated and verified — new
activity_card / hitl_card_blocked / event_card_created / event_card_resolved /
ui_vocabularies samples plus extended plugin_manifest; CardStatus.Terminal
helper unit-covered via build; ts/types.ts mirrors all additions.
Impact: Additive only (omitempty fields, new types, new event types) — existing
consumers ignore unknown values per forward-compat rule; vocabulary spec types
carry a Spec suffix to avoid const-name collisions.
Refs: modules/documents docs/proposals/2026-09-30-ui-inbox-command-workspace.md
Why: the composition adopted the delivery gate (Dev repo ef89fc8); resident
entry rules must carry the gate so agents load them without reading the
guidelines submodule first.
Evidence: text-only entry change; gate mechanics validated in the Dev repo
scratch-repo suite (19/19) and merged as PR weichen/Agent-System-Dev#1.
Impact: entry doc only; no code, contract, or build change in this repo.
