Summary

AI summary

Adds declarative and programmatic support for AgentConnector alongside other substrate slots.

Full changelog

Closes the long-standing asymmetry across the four substrate slots.
Pre-v0.18.1, SkillStore / DataStore / LocalModel each had connectors.json
substrate-section support, but AgentConnector was programmatic-only —
the bootstrap.ts comment explicitly read "agent_connector → null
(adopter wires explicitly)." v0.18.1 brings the slot to parity.

What landed

  • New agent_connector?: SubstrateChoice | null field in
    SubstrateConfig (connectors/config.ts)
  • New "noop" built-in type — explicit declaration of the no-op
    posture (equivalent to omitting the slot; the Registry's
    getAgentConnectorOrDefault returns NoOpAgentConnector either way,
    but "noop" makes the intent visible in connectors.json)
  • "custom" type accepted at parse time, errors at bootstrap with a
    clear message pointing at the programmatic path (mirrors the
    sync-bootstrap limitation on the other three slots)
  • New agentConnector?: AgentConnector field in BootstrapOpts +
    DefaultRegistryOpts — programmatic surface for adopters supplying
    an instance (matches the existing skillStore? / dataStore? /
    localModel? symmetry)
  • bootstrap() precedence: programmatic opt > declarative substrate >
    default unset (Registry NoOp fallback)
  • bootstrap() calls registry.registerAgentConnector("primary", ...)
    with the resolved instance (async; health_check fires at registration
    per existing contract)

Scaffold + adopter guidance

scaffold/connectors.json adds "agent_connector": null with the same
_example_* documentation pattern as the other slots. Examples show
both the noop short-form and the custom object-form (with a comment
linking to examples/connectors/HttpWebhookAgentConnector as a
reference impl).

Tests

11 new tests in v0.18.1-agent-connector-wiring.test.ts covering:
parse of noop / custom / null forms, unknown-type rejection,
short-form-custom rejection, BootstrapOpts wiring, substrate-config
wiring, precedence (opts beats config), custom-via-config error
pointing at programmatic path, fallback to NoOp when neither slot nor
opt supplied.

1682 tests total. Narrow-core LOC ceiling unchanged at 10500.

Adopter-side: substrate-mediated AgentConnector impl

For adopters with a memory-store routing layer or shared agent
inbox/wake substrate: implement the AgentConnector contract
(deliver / wake / list_agents / health_check /
request_response) mapping to the substrate's primitives, then wire
via bootstrap({ agentConnector: new MyAgentConnector(...) }). See
examples/connectors/HttpWebhookAgentConnector for the reference
shape — 320 LOC, end-to-end working, with tests + README.
