+# TinyAgents Port — Plan & Audit (inference / tools / agent_orchestration)
+
+**Status:** draft plan — no code changes yet.
+**Anchor precedent:** the TinyAgents harness migration (#4249 / #4399 / #4473) and the TinyCortex memory migration plan (`docs/tinycortex-memory-migration-plan.md`).
+**Target:** move the genuinely framework-shaped parts of `src/openhuman/inference/`, `src/openhuman/tools/`, and `src/openhuman/agent_orchestration/` down into the `tinyagents` crate (vendored git submodule at **`vendor/tinyagents`**, `https://github.com/tinyhumansai/tinyagents`), and delete the in-tree duplicates in favor of crate primitives.
+
+---
+
+## 0. Ground truth (as audited)
+
+### 0.1 Sizes and shape
+
+| Host module | LOC (approx) | Role |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `src/openhuman/inference/` | ~53,000 (121 files) | Provider trait + OpenAI-compatible wire client, factory/routing, local runtime (Ollama/LM Studio/Whisper/Piper), voice, OAuth, RPC surface |
+| `src/openhuman/tools/` | ~38,500 | `Tool` trait + metadata model, schema cleaning, generated-tool admission, ~200-tool registry assembly, `impl/` families (filesystem, system, browser, computer, network, presentation), RPC surface |
+| `src/openhuman/agent_orchestration/` | ~25,800 | Product control plane over sub-agents: in-memory session, detached-run registry, workflow runs, agent teams, command center, worktree isolation, RPC/tools surface |
+| `src/openhuman/tinyagents/` (the seam) | ~15,200 (25 files) | Adapters implementing tinyagents traits over openhuman services — where all ported code plugs back in |
+
+**TinyAgents** (sibling repo, v1.6.0, ~71.5k LOC, edition 2024, GPL-3.0-only, published to crates.io) already provides: `harness/` (`ChatModel`, `Tool<State>`, agent loop, middleware, retry/fallback, usage/cost, cache, embeddings + vector store, summarization, steering, `SubAgent`/`SubAgentSession`/`SubAgentTool`, observability journals, `WorkspaceIsolation`, testkit), `graph/` (durable typed graphs, checkpointers incl. SQLite, recursion policy, `map_reduce`, `orchestration::TaskStore`/`SteeringRegistry`, topology export), `registry/`, and the `.rag`/`.ragsh` languages. ~30 public traits are the extension points.
+
+**License:** both repos are GPL-3.0 — moving code down is license-clean. But tinyagents is publicly redistributed on crates.io, so only genuinely generic code moves (no product policy, backend phrases as load-bearing API, or keys).
+
+### 0.2 The single most important audit finding
+
+**Most of the "bulky" code is not portable — it is a parallel implementation of things tinyagents already ships.** The heavy clusters duplicate crate primitives rather than extend them:
+
+| openhuman (in-tree) | tinyagents (already shipped) |
+| --- | --- |
+| `inference/provider/traits.rs` (`Provider`, `ChatMessage`, `ChatResponse`, `UsageInfo`) | `harness/model/` (`ChatModel`, `ModelRequest/Response`), `harness/usage/` (field-for-field) |
+| `inference/provider/compatible*.rs` (~6.6k + 4.9k tests) | `harness/providers/openai/` (same 9-provider OpenAI-compat fan-out) |
+| `inference/provider/reliable.rs` (retry wrapper) | `harness/retry/` + `middleware/library/resilience.rs` — `reliable.rs`'s own module doc says it is "slated for removal once the tinyagents crate owns retry/fallback" and pins retry to 1 attempt |
+| `tools/traits.rs` `Tool` trait / `ToolSpec` / flat-Vec registry | `harness/tool/` `Tool<State>` / `ToolSchema` / deduping `ToolRegistry` |
+| `agent_orchestration/ops.rs` `AgentOrchestrationSession` + `running_subagents.rs` | `graph/orchestration/` `TaskStore` + `SteeringRegistry` + `harness/subagent/` `SubAgentSession` |
+| `inference/provider/router.rs` tier routing | `harness/middleware` fallback + `registry/` `ModelCatalog` |
+
+So the correct plan has **three motions**, not one:
+
+1. **Consolidate (delete in favor of the crate)** — the duplication above. This is where nearly all of the LOC reduction comes from.
+2. **True ports (net-new upstream)** — a short list of clean, generic pieces tinyagents lacks (§2).
+3. **Stays in openhuman** — RPC/controllers, config/credentials/policy glue, local runtime + voice, product tools, UI surfaces (§3).
+
+### 0.3 Version drift (must be resolved first)
+
+- Sibling repo / upstream: **v1.6.0** (`e72036d`).
+- Host `Cargo.toml`: requires `tinyagents = { version = "1.5.0", features = ["sqlite"] }`, patched to `vendor/tinyagents`.
+- Submodule pin: `357bcc8` = **v1.5.0-11-g357bcc8** — 11 commits past the 1.5.0 tag, but **behind 1.6.0**. A plain `git submodule update` matches neither published version; pin explicitly.
+
+Missing between the pin and 1.6.0, all of which the seam actively wants: `invoke_stream` + sub-agent delta propagation (tinyagents#17), tool outcome on `ToolCompleted` (#18), REPL host-embedding cancellation (#19), concurrent independent tool calls per turn, `DurabilityMode::Async` checkpoint writes, SHA-256 prompt fingerprint (affects the seam's KV-cache drift guard), idempotent `RedactionMiddleware` (affects `journal.rs`), `InMemoryVectorStore` dim-validation/top-k, `Checkpointer::get_thread`/`copy_thread`.
+
+### 0.4 Contribution workflow (same convention as tinycortex)
+
+Engine changes are made **inside `vendor/tinyagents`**, committed on a branch there, PR'd against `tinyhumansai/tinyagents`, released, then the host bumps the submodule SHA + version pin in a standalone `chore(vendor): bump tinyagents — <summary> (tinyagents#<PR>)` commit. Host PRs never contain engine source edits. tinyagents house rules apply to upstreamed code: `types.rs`/`test.rs`/`mod.rs` module discipline, centralized `lib.rs` re-exports, ≥80% coverage, tiny dependency tree (no new default deps; anything heavy goes behind a cargo feature), offline tests via `MockModel` (network tests are `live_*` and key-gated).
+
+---
+
+## 1. Target ownership split
+
+### 1.1 Moves to / consolidates into TinyAgents
+
+| Host code | Motion | tinyagents destination |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `inference/provider/error_classify.rs` (777 L, 35 tests, extracted for this purpose in #4249) | port | `harness/retry/` classification (or `harness/providers/` error module) |
+| `inference/model_context.rs` pattern table (minus OH tier/cost-catalog arms) | port | `harness/model/` `ModelProfile`/context metadata |
+| `inference/parse.rs` (`sanitize_inline_completion`, zero deps) | port (low priority) | text post-process util |
+| `inference/provider/compatible*.rs` + `reliable.rs` + `router.rs` | **delete** after cutover to `harness/providers/openai` + `retry`/`resilience` + registry routes | n/a (crate already has it) |
+| `tools/schema.rs` `SchemaCleanr` (+ `schema_tests.rs`, zero deps) | port | provider adapters (per-provider JSON-Schema cleaning — genuine gap) |
+| `tools/traits.rs` display/metadata morsels: `humanize_tool_name`, `context_detail_from_args`, `display_label`/`display_detail`, `ToolTimeout` semantics | port (additive) | `harness/tool/` (`ToolRuntime`/policy metadata) |
+| `tools/generated.rs` admission/provenance model | align (don't duplicate) | `registry/capability` + `registry/component` |
+| `tools/impl/filesystem/` (file_read/write/edit_file/apply_patch/grep/glob/list_files/read_diff) | port (behind a `tools` feature) | new `harness/tools/` builtin family, `Tool<State>`-native |
+| `tools/impl/system/{current_time,resolve_time}.rs` | port (first movers — nearly pure) | same builtin family |
+| `tools/impl/network/{http_request,web_fetch,curl,url_guard}.rs` (SSRF guard is 842 L of largely pure logic) | port | same builtin family |
+| `tools/impl/system/{shell,node_exec,npm_exec}.rs` | port later (multi-seam: SecurityPolicy, NodeBootstrap, sandbox, tool_timeout) | same builtin family, gated on §4 blockers |
+| `agent_orchestration/worktree.rs` (617 L — already an impl of tinyagents' `WorkspaceIsolation`; one `publish_global` seam) | port | `harness/workspace/` git-worktree isolation provider |
+| `agent_orchestration/ops.rs` (`AgentOrchestrationSession`) + `running_subagents.rs` (1.9k L) | **delete** in favor of `graph::orchestration::TaskStore` + `SteeringRegistry` + `SubAgentSession`; route the live control path through the crate (today only re-exported, per seam `orchestration.rs:23-33`) | n/a |
+| `agent_orchestration/types.rs` `AgentStatus` vocabulary | reconcile into `OrchestrationTaskStatus` (two parallel status enums today) | `graph/orchestration/types` |
+| `agent_orchestration/workflow_runs/` phase-DAG validation + `agent_teams/` dependency-DAG/atomic-claim/quality-gate logic | evaluate upstreaming the *validation/scheduling slices* as graph extensions; durability (`session_db::run_ledger`) and RPC stay host-side | `graph/` |
+| Reasoning-content channel (today smuggled via `ContentBlock::ProviderExtension`, seam `convert.rs:26-30`) | port the *concept*: first-class reasoning channel on `AssistantMessage` | `harness/message/` |
+
+### 1.2 Stays in OpenHuman (product policy, I/O, surfaces)
+
+- **All RPC surfaces**: `inference/{ops,schemas}.rs`, `provider/ops*`, `tools/schemas.rs`, `agent_orchestration/*_schemas.rs`, `subagent_control.rs`, `command_center/`, `worktree_schemas.rs`. JSON-RPC method names and payload shapes must not change.
+- **Provider resolution & auth**: `provider/factory.rs` (provider-string grammar), `openhuman_backend.rs`, `openai_codex.rs`, `claude_code/`, `claude_agent_sdk/`, `openai_oauth/`, `thread_context.rs`, backend billing-envelope parsing (`openhuman.usage.*` / `openhuman.billing.*`).
+- **Local runtime & voice** (~17k L): all of `inference/local/` (Ollama/LM Studio admin, Whisper/Piper install + engines), `voice/`, `device.rs`+`presets.rs`+`model_ids.rs`+`paths.rs` (device→tier product policy), `sentiment.rs`, `http/` (OpenAI-compat serving surface). tinyagents has no local-runtime provisioning and should not grow one now. (`device.rs` is technically portable — zero openhuman deps — but only valuable if tinyagents ever grows local provisioning; skip.)
+- **Tool product surface**: `tools/ops.rs` registry assembly (~200 registrations over ~50 domains), `user_filter.rs` (UI-toggle families), `orchestrator_tools.rs`, `local_cli.rs`, `impl/computer/` (macOS CGEvent/AX), `impl/presentation/`, network app integrations (polymarket, gitbooks, gmail_unsubscribe, mcp_setup).
+- **Orchestration product plane**: all `agent_orchestration/tools/*` (openhuman `Tool` impls re-pointed at crate primitives), `subagent_events.rs` + `run_ledger_finalize.rs` (event-bus bridges), `background_{completions,delivery}.rs` (chat idle-delivery UX), `pairing*` (tiny.place consent), `parent_context/` (DI bootstrap), `session_db::run_ledger` durability.
+- **The seam itself** (`src/openhuman/tinyagents/`) — it shrinks as duplication is deleted, but the `ChatModel`/`Tool`/middleware/journal adapters remain openhuman's integration layer.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Blockers to resolve before tool ports (design decisions)
+
+These are API mismatches the current seam bridges **lossily**; porting tools natively forces a decision on each:
+
+1. **`ToolResult` shape** — openhuman uses MCP-style content blocks + `markdown_formatted`; tinyagents uses flat string `content` (the seam always sets `raw: None`, discarding structure). Proposal: add an optional structured-content field (or `raw` population convention) to tinyagents' `ToolResult` so ported tools stop losing block structure.
+2. **`PermissionLevel` (5 ordered levels, with per-call `*_with_args` overrides) vs `ToolSideEffects` booleans** — today `Write`/`Execute`/`Dangerous` all collapse to `writes_files` + `WorkspaceAccess::Any`, and per-call gating is dropped. Proposal: extend `ToolPolicy` with an ordered permission level and an optional per-call classifier hook, or accept the boolean model and encode levels host-side only (document the loss).
+3. **`SecurityPolicy` is the universal seam** across all of `impl/` (path/command/host gating). tinyagents models the same concept as `ToolAccess`/`SandboxMode`/`WorkspaceDescriptor`; the `security_for_tool_context` shims in `impl/{filesystem,system}/mod.rs` already bridge workspace roots. Ported tools must depend **only** on the crate-side abstractions; openhuman injects its `SecurityPolicy` behind them. This likely means growing `ToolAccess` (e.g. trusted roots, command classification hook) — design this once, before the first filesystem tool moves.
+4. **`file_state` edit-tracking** (filesystem family) — either port a minimal read-before-write tracker into the crate tools or leave tracking host-side via middleware.
+5. **Status vocabulary** — `AgentStatus` (Pending/Running/Waiting/Completed/Failed/Cancelled/Closed) vs `OrchestrationTaskStatus` (…/Awaiting/Timeout). Pick the crate vocabulary, map host wire compat in the RPC layer.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Step-by-step plan
+
+Each phase is a coherent PR set: tinyagents PR(s) → release/tag → host `chore(vendor): bump` → host cutover PR. Every phase ends green on both CI lanes (tinyagents `ci.yml`; host fast lane + release lane).
+
+### Phase 0 — Version alignment & baseline (no behavior change)
+
+1. Bump `vendor/tinyagents` to **v1.6.0** and the host requirement `1.5.0` → `1.6.0` (both root and `app/src-tauri` manifests; keep the `[patch.crates-io]` path entries).
+2. Fix seam fallout from the bump: SHA-256 prompt fingerprint vs the seam's KV-cache drift guard (`tinyagents/middleware.rs`), idempotent `RedactionMiddleware` vs `journal.rs` double-redaction, adopt `ToolCompleted` outcome fields in `observability.rs` (retire `ToolFailureMap` reconstruction), adopt `invoke_stream` in `model.rs`.
+3. Record a baseline: LOC per module, test counts, and the duplication map (§0.2) as the drift ledger for this migration (mirroring `docs/tinycortex-drift-ledger.md`).
+4. **Exit:** host builds and full release lane passes on tinyagents 1.6.0 with zero in-tree deletions yet.
+
+### Phase 1 — Quick wins upstream (small tinyagents PRs, no host deletions)
+
+Land these as separate small PRs against tinyagents (each with its ported tests re-expressed in crate conventions):
+
+1. `SchemaCleanr` (+ its 15-test suite) → provider-layer schema cleaning. Zero-dep, highest value/effort ratio.
+2. `error_classify.rs` classifiers → retry/HTTP-error classification (strip openhuman-backend phrase matches into a host-side extension table; keep the generic HTTP/status logic).
+3. `model_context.rs` pattern-match table (substring-vs-segment matching, incl. the o1/o3 regression guard) → `ModelProfile` context resolution. OH tier aliases and cost-catalog arms stay host-side.
+4. First-class **reasoning channel** on `AssistantMessage` → delete the `ProviderExtension` smuggling in seam `convert.rs`.
+5. Git-worktree `WorkspaceIsolation` provider from `agent_orchestration/worktree.rs` (+ `worktree_tests.rs`, which exercises real git repos — fits the crate's offline test policy). The single `publish_global` event becomes a host-side wrapper.
+6. Tool display metadata (`humanize_tool_name`, `display_label`/`display_detail`, `ToolTimeout` semantics) → `harness/tool/`.
+7. `current_time` / `resolve_time` as the first two builtin tools (pilot for the `tools` feature layout).
+8. **Exit:** tinyagents 1.7.0 tagged; host bumps and swaps call sites (`SchemaCleanr` imports, worktree isolation, convert.rs reasoning path); duplicated host copies deleted where the swap is complete.
+
+### Phase 2 — Tool model reconciliation + builtin tool families
+
+1. Resolve §2 blockers 1–4 as a tinyagents design PR (ToolResult structure, permission model, `ToolAccess` extension, edit tracking).
+2. Port `impl/filesystem/` (8 generic tools) natively onto `Tool<State>` behind a `tools` cargo feature, depending only on `ToolAccess`/`WorkspaceDescriptor`. Port inline tests + `git_operations`/`run_tests` siblings where generic.
+3. Port `impl/network/{http_request,web_fetch,curl,url_guard}` (SSRF guard first — it is mostly pure).
+4. Host cutover: `tools/ops.rs` registers the crate builtins (wrapped with openhuman `SecurityPolicy` injected behind `ToolAccess`); delete the in-tree implementations; `user_filter.rs` table re-points at crate tool names (watch the `web_search`→`"web_search_tool"` name-drift risk).
+5. Defer `shell`/`node_exec`/`npm_exec` to a follow-up within this phase — they need the command-classification hook (`classify_command`/`gate_decision` stays host-side; the crate exposes the hook).
+6. `generated.rs`: re-target `GeneratedTool` onto the crate `Tool<State>` + align admission/provenance with `registry/capability` instead of a parallel mechanism.
+7. **Exit:** filesystem + network + time tools live in tinyagents with their tests; host `impl/` shrinks by ~10k L; `tool_policy_from_openhuman_tool` lossy mapping replaced by the reconciled model.
+
+### Phase 3 — Provider consolidation (deletion, not porting)
+
+The endgame of #4249's Workstream 11:
+
+1. Cut the live chat path over from `Provider::chat`/`compatible*.rs` to `harness/providers/openai` via the seam's `ProviderModel` — provider-by-provider, behind the existing route projection (`routes.rs`).
+2. Un-wrap `ReliableProvider` and restore crate-owned retry (`RunPolicy` retry is currently pinned to 1 attempt at seam `mod.rs:117-120` precisely because of the double-retry hazard).
+3. Move the openhuman-backend billing/usage envelope parsing into the backend provider adapter (host-side `ChatModel` impl), not the generic wire client.
+4. Delete: `compatible*.rs` (~6.6k L), `reliable.rs` (909 L, self-declared dead-in-waiting), `router.rs` (route via registry `ModelCatalog`), legacy `StreamChunk`/`stream_chat_*` streaming surface in `traits.rs` (superseded by `ProviderDelta`, itself superseded by crate streaming).
+5. `compatible_tests.rs` (4,851 L / 207 tests — the richest suite in the domain): re-express the *behavioral* cases (SSE edge cases, tool-arg normalization, reasoning round-trip) against `providers/openai` fixtures upstream; keep host-side only the backend-envelope tests.
+6. `Provider` trait stays temporarily as the host-side seam for factory/local/claude-code providers, now thin; evaluate retiring it entirely once all consumers are `ChatModel`.
+7. **Exit:** one wire client (the crate's); `inference/provider/` reduced to factory + app-specific providers + ops/RPC.
+
+### Phase 4 — Orchestration consolidation
+
+1. Route the detached sub-agent control plane through `graph::orchestration` for real: replace `running_subagents.rs`'s bespoke registry/steer/abort/ownership machinery with `TaskStore` + `SteeringRegistry` (+ upstream anything missing: ownership enforcement, soft-cap sweep — evaluate as crate PRs). The seam's `orchestration.rs` stops being a partial re-export.
+2. Replace `AgentOrchestrationSession` (`ops.rs`, 679 L) with crate `SubAgentSession` + `TaskStore`; consumers (`workflow_runs/engine.rs`, `agent_teams/runtime.rs`) move onto the crate API.
+3. Unify status vocabularies (§2.5); host RPC keeps wire compat via mapping.
+4. Reconcile `subagent_sessions/` (durable reusable sessions) with crate `JsonlTaskStore`/checkpoint reuse instead of a parallel JSON store.
+5. Thin `spawn_parallel_graph.rs` further into the seam (it already runs on crate `map_reduce`); fix the two-spawn-path inconsistency (worktree diff results threaded in one path, hardcoded empty in the other — `ops.rs:559-562`).
+6. Harden the `steering_forwarder.rs` (#4456) 50 ms poll-loop coupling upstream: give `SteeringHandle`/`RunQueue` bridging a first-class crate-side lifecycle instead of an abort-on-drop guard.
+7. **Exit:** one sub-agent lifecycle (the crate's); `agent_orchestration/` reduced to product tools, event bridges, ledger, RPC.
+
+### Phase 5 — Workflow/team generic slices (optional, evaluate after Phase 4)
+
+1. Upstream the **validation** slices: workflow phase-DAG structural/cycle validation (`workflow_runs/{types,ops}`), team dependency validation + atomic CAS claim + quality-gate state machine (`agent_teams/ops.rs`) — as `graph/` extensions if they generalize cleanly; otherwise leave host-side. Durability (`session_db::run_ledger`) and `command_center/` stay host-side regardless.
+2. `*_topology()` exports already funnel through seam `topology.rs::all_graph_topologies` — keep that pattern for anything upstreamed.
+
+### Phase 6 — Cleanup & docs
+
+1. Delete transitional shims (`ToolAdapter` test-only wrapper, `subagent_graph.rs` no-op skeleton once the graph path is the real one, `retrieve_tool_output` vs tokenjuice duplication).
+2. Update `gitbooks/developing/architecture/agent-harness.md`, `orchestration.md`, module READMEs, and `about_app` if user-facing behavior shifted.
+3. Final LOC/coverage ledger vs the Phase 0 baseline.

+
+## 4. Test migration strategy
+
+- **Port with the code (self-contained suites):** `schema_tests.rs` (15 fns), `generated_tests.rs` (24 fns), `error_classify` inline (35 tests), `model_context` inline, `parse.rs` inline (11), `worktree_tests.rs` (real-git, offline), filesystem/network tool inline suites, `policy.rs` inline. Re-express in tinyagents conventions: co-located `test.rs`, offline `MockModel`, `testkit` doubles, `e2e_*.rs` for integration, `live_*.rs` (key-gated) only where a real endpoint is essential.
+- **Re-express behaviorally (harness-bound):** `compatible_tests.rs` (207 tests) → crate `providers/openai` fixture tests; `reliable_tests.rs` (26) → crate retry/resilience tests (most already exist — diff first, port the gaps).
+- **Stay host-side:** `factory_tests.rs` (150), `ops_tests.rs` suites everywhere, `user_filter`/`orchestrator_tools` inline, all `agent_orchestration` harness-dependent suites (`engine_tests`, `runtime_tests`, `spawn_parallel_agents_tests`, `tools_e2e_tests`), all `/tests/*_e2e.rs` whole-app harnesses. These keep guarding the host wiring after cutover — they are the regression net for each deletion phase.
+- **Coverage gates:** tinyagents expects ≥80%; host PR lanes gate ≥80% on changed lines. Cutover PRs that mostly *delete* code should still touch the seam with tests proving the crate-backed path preserves behavior (golden transcripts via `MockModel` scripts are the cheap way).
+
+---
+
+## 5. Bugs, gaps, and improvements found during the audit
+
+Fix-in-place candidates (independent of the port; several become moot as phases delete their hosts):
+
+**inference/**
+- `presets.rs:200-205` — `recommend_tier` ignores its RAM input and always returns `MVP_MAX_TIER`; misleading dead logic (its own test asserts the non-scaling). Either implement scaling or rename/strip the parameter.
+- `provider/traits.rs:734` — default `stream_chat_with_history` hardcodes `provider_name = "unknown"`, yielding the useless diagnostic `"unknown does not support streaming"`.
+- `provider/traits.rs` — two parallel streaming abstractions coexist (`StreamChunk`/`stream_chat_*` legacy vs `ProviderDelta`); the legacy surface is near-dead and scheduled for deletion in Phase 3.
+- `provider/reliable.rs` — live wrapper that no longer retries (pinned to one attempt); dead-code-in-waiting.
+- `provider/factory.rs:404` — `NO_MODEL_CONFIGURED_ANCHOR` correctness depends on a string literal matched by a separate classifier in `provider/ops.rs:19`; fragile cross-file coupling.
+
+**tools/**
+- `tools/ops.rs` — `all_tools` takes 12 positional args (`#[allow(clippy::too_many_arguments)]`); a builder is overdue. The `Vec<Box<dyn Tool>>` container doesn't dedupe (a test exists *because* of this); the crate's `ToolRegistry` fixes it structurally.
+- `tools/traits.rs:15` — `ToolScope::AgentOnly` is a dead variant; `ToolCategory::Workflow` is pinned to wire `"skill"` (documented tech-debt to resolve before porting the type).
+- `tools/traits.rs:367-372` — `is_concurrency_safe` is advisory-only (harness runs tools serially); tinyagents 1.6 has concurrent independent tool calls — adopting it makes the flag real.
+- `orchestrator_tools.rs:38-41,87-89` — dead `SpawnWorkerThreadTool` registration (pending #1624); mis-attached doc-comment at lines 592-603 describes a different test than the one it precedes.
+- `user_filter.rs:168-188` — `skill_manage` and `workflow_manage` families carry identical `rust_names` (deliberate alias, duplication footgun); `web_search` → `"web_search_tool"` name mapping is drift-prone against the `search` domain.
+- `impl/network/polymarket*` (~2.5k L incl. tests) — a large app integration living under the "cross-cutting families only" `impl/` rule; should move to a domain per the module's own README.
+- Seam `tools.rs` — `tool_policy_from_openhuman_tool` silently drops `category`, `scope`, and all `*_with_args` per-call gating (§2.2).
+
+**agent_orchestration/**
+- `ops.rs:138-168` — `message_agent` records metadata only and never injects into the running loop; a real functional hole that `agent_teams/runtime.rs` and `command_center` inherit.
+- `subagent_control.rs:186-190` — `SteerError::NotOwned` arm is dead (no ownership check performed).
+- `ops.rs:559-562` — in-memory session path hardcodes `worktree_path: None, changed_files: []` on completion even for worktree-isolated workers (inconsistent with `spawn_parallel_graph`).
+- `delegation.rs:120-127` — human-approval interrupt permanently disabled; the durable interrupt path in the seam is wired but unreachable until a review surface exists.
+- Two parallel status enums (`AgentStatus` vs `OrchestrationTaskStatus`) — latent drift hazard (§2.5).
+- Process-wide `OnceLock<Mutex<…>>` singletons in `background_completions`/`background_delivery`/`running_subagents` serialized through `TEST_ENV_LOCK` in tests — the crate favors injected stores; Phase 4 removes most of them.
+
+**seam (`src/openhuman/tinyagents/`)**
+- `mod.rs:117-120` — retry pinned to 1 attempt (Workstream 11 debt; resolved in Phase 3).
+- `orchestration.rs:23-33` — bridge is re-export-only; live control path still on `RunQueue` (resolved in Phase 4).
+- `retriever.rs:14-27` — crate `Retriever`/`InMemoryVectorStore` built but unused on the live path (dead-until-swap; out of scope here, note for the memory migration).
+- `steering_forwarder.rs` (#4456) — abort-on-drop guard papering over a fragile poll-loop coupling; harden upstream (Phase 4.6).
+- `middleware.rs` — prompt-cache drift detection duplicated between seam and crate `PromptCacheGuardMiddleware`, with differing fingerprints until the 1.6.0 bump (Phase 0).

+
+## 6. Risks & mitigations
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+| --- | --- |
+| Behavioral drift cutting `compatible*.rs` over to crate providers (SSE edge cases, tool-arg normalization, backend envelope) | Provider-by-provider cutover behind the route projection; port the 207-test behavioral suite upstream *before* deleting; keep backend-envelope parsing host-side |
+| Double-retry / retry semantics during Phase 3 transition | Keep the 1-attempt pin until `ReliableProvider` is un-wrapped in the same PR that enables crate retry |
+| Lossy tool-metadata mapping ossifying (permissions, MCP blocks) | §2 design decisions land as a tinyagents PR **before** any tool family moves |
+| tinyagents is public crates.io GPL code | Audit each upstream PR for product policy/backend phrase coupling; backend-specific classifiers stay host-side as extension tables |
+| Version skew between submodule pin, crates.io version req, and upstream tags | Every bump is a standalone `chore(vendor)` commit pinning tag + version together; never float the submodule |
+| The two-Cargo-world topology (root crate vs Tauri shell, #3877) means two lockfiles to bump | Bump both manifests in the same `chore(vendor)` commit; CI full lane validates both |
+| Big-bang deletion breaking the fast PR lane's changed-file coverage gate | Phase PRs pair each deletion with seam tests exercising the crate-backed path |

+## 7. Expected outcome (rough accounting)
+
+- **Deleted from host:** `compatible*.rs` + tests (~11.5k), `reliable.rs` + tests (~2k), `router.rs` (~0.8k), orchestration session + detached registry + parallel-graph thinning (~4–5k), tool families moved (~10k incl. tests), misc (streaming legacy, shims) — **~30k LOC** leaves the host across Phases 1–4.
+- **Added to tinyagents:** builtin tools (feature-gated), schema cleaning, error classification, reasoning channel, worktree isolation, context-window table, orchestration hardening — **~12–15k LOC** upstream, most of it accompanied by ported tests.
+- **Unchanged:** RPC wire surface, local AI runtime, voice, provider factory grammar, product tool catalog, run ledger, UI.
