    "agentVersionId": "agent-version:a5c@current",
    "packageRef": "source-ref:a5c-cli",
    "loopIteratorPolicy": "custom",
    "loopIteratorNotes": "a5c's core is modeled as a native compatibility layer for agent loops, not\nas a wrapper built on top of Pi or any single backend. It can present the\nPi-compatible serialized tool-use loop while also normalizing Claude Code,\nCodex, Gemini, OpenCode, LangGraph/custom graph, and adapters style loop\nsemantics behind the same AgentCoreImpl contract.\n",
    "contextManagementStrategy": "platform-managed",
    "compactionTriggerNotes": "a5c owns the compatibility contract for context and compaction metadata at\nthe platform boundary. Individual backends may use provider-managed,\nrolling-summary, server-managed, or user-managed context; a5c maps those\npostures into one platform-managed profile so legacy Pi-style definitions\nand newer graph/custom-agent definitions remain comparable.\n",
    "subagentInvokerPolicy": "platform-mediated",
    "subagentInvokerNotes": "Subagent dispatch is mediated by the a5c platform contract. Pi-style\ntool-call handoff, Claude-style subagents, LangGraph subgraphs/supervisors,\nand skill-as-tool execution all normalize to platform-mediated child work\nwithout making a5c depend on any one mechanism.\n",
    "resultSynthesisPolicy": "post-processed",
    "resultSynthesisNotes": "a5c synthesizes a normalized result envelope from backend-native terminal\nmessages, graph terminal state, streamed text, tool results, and generated\nartifacts. Pi's model-direct final text is a supported profile, not the\nbase implementation.\n",

    "programmaticToolCallingNotes": "a5c agent-core can optionally expose `code_executor`, a Code Mode /\nProgrammatic Tool Calling surface inspired by UTCP Code-Mode and Open-PTC.\nThe executor runs a bounded JavaScript tool chain against the configured\nagent-core tools so a model can batch discovery, schema fetches, filesystem,\nshell, web, and host tools behind one model-level call.\n",

    "notes": "This node is intentionally the Layer-4 unified contract for a5c. It is\ncapability-compatible with the legacy Pi wrapper's core definition\n(Anthropic/OpenAI transports, tool-use loop, structured end events,\nsequential tool handling) while also covering same-layer alternatives that\nexpose parallel tool calls, graph-defined loops, server-managed loops, or\nprovider-specific thinking channels. Pi is a compatibility target, not an implementation base. Compatibility is modeled as a native a5c contract; there is no depends_on edge to Pi.\n"
