Scope

This directory contains schemas, manifests, examples, and fixtures that define machine-readable harness contracts. Root AGENTS.md and CODESTYLE.md remain binding.

Local Rules

Treat schemas and manifests as contract surfaces. Keep examples, validators, TypeScript types, and generated artifacts synchronized.
Use structured parsers and schema validation instead of ad hoc string checks.
Preserve fail-closed behavior for stale, shallow, missing, or contradictory evidence.

Validation

Run the specific schema or manifest validator for changed contract files.
When runtime packet schemas change, run node scripts/validate-runtime-packet-schemas.cjs --all.
Report exact commands as pass, fail, or blocked.
When explaining something to the user, use the portable visualize skill when it is available.
