Layered, not tangled

Each package sits at one level. The core agent loop has no I/O, no session, no UI. It only emits events.

  1. coding-agentCLI shell, interactive TUI, extensions, slash commands

  2. tuiTerminal renderer, pure rendering, no agent logic

  3. client / protocolRPC boundary for headless or remote sessions, over CBOR

  4. agentAgent loop, harness, session, compaction. Pure, no UI

  5. aiProvider abstraction: Model/Api, usage, retry policy

  6. session-backendsPluggable durable storage (SQLite implementation shipped)
