+## Commands
+- Check: `go build ./...`, `go vet ./...`, `go test -race ./...`, `go run github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/v2/cmd/golangci-lint@v2.15.0 run ./...`; from the project root, run the TODO check below.
+- Generate: No code generation is configured; format with `gofmt -w .`.
+- Documentation: `go run ./cmd/docs check`; create records with `go run ./cmd/docs new adr|plan "Title"`. This checker repository uses its local implementation as the source of truth.
+
+## Scope and decisions
+- Before editing under a directory with its own AGENTS.md, read it. Scoped files: none currently; this root governs the repository, including nested Go modules unless nearer instructions override it.
+- Explicit user instructions win; nearer scoped rules override broader rules.
+- Distinguish confirmed requirements, proposed defaults and unresolved decisions; resolve material ambiguity before dependent work.
+- Proposed ADRs are context, not authority; read relevant accepted decisions before changing their scope.
+- Before final review and merge, reconcile affected records against the latest target branch plus the PR, following [/docs/adr/README.md](/docs/adr/README.md).
+- Documentation tier: ADRs only. Create a plan only when work needs durable execution context across areas, phases or sessions; then enable the plans tier.
+- In a sandbox, request required network/cache access before first codegen; on permission/cache errors retry once with that access. Never hand-edit generated output.
+- Shared databases and ports may belong to other worktrees/agents; read project rules before starting, stopping or resetting them.
+- Ask before lint/autofix changes that could alter runtime behavior.
+- Report commands actually run and their results; never claim an unrun check passed.
+- Name branches `<type>/<kebab>` without agent-name prefixes.
+
+## Comments
+- Document package/module purpose, ownership and boundaries, and every public/exported contract in native doc comments; document generated surfaces at their source.
+- Explain why at invariants, auth decisions, concurrency/ordering, destructive edges and deliberate deviations; no narration, changelog comments or commented-out code.
+- Use `invariant: <property>`, `authz: <who and enforcement>`, `shortcut: <limit>, <when to upgrade>` on relevant code; retain Go `Deprecated:` and Rust `// SAFETY:`.

+# Version light core packages in the root module and nest heavy-dependency modules
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+The repository currently has one Go module, `go.auvem.com/corestack`. A plain `vX.Y.Z` tag versions every package in that module together and triggers a release of the `docs` binary. Light core packages can share this version stream and one changelog per tag; packages with heavy dependencies or independent release needs benefit from their own module boundaries.
+
+Carving a package out after it has shipped in the root module is the expensive case: older root versions still contain it, while the new nested module supplies the same import path. Consumers can encounter ambiguous imports until coordinated releases and dependency upgrades remove the overlap. Starting a package as a nested module from its first commit avoids that migration.
+
+The fixed dependency list in AGENTS.md described only the docs checker. It would block the planned Bob and Goose dependencies for `page` and `migrate`; dependency placement needs a module-boundary rule instead of a repository-wide allowlist.
+
+## Considered Options
+
+* Keep every package in the root module: simplest releases, but couples heavy and independently versioned packages to core releases and makes later extraction costly.
+* Give every package a nested module immediately: avoids later extraction, but adds module and release bookkeeping to light core packages that can share a version.
+* Keep light core packages in the root module and start heavy or independently versioned packages as nested modules: retain simple core releases while avoiding the costly extraction case.
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+Choose the mixed boundary: light core packages share the root module; heavy-dependency or independently versioned packages begin as nested modules.
+
+* Root module, plain `v*` tags: `lifecycle`, `lifecycle/cli`, `migrate`, `page`, and `cmd/docs`. They share one version stream and one changelog per root tag. Before 1.0, breaking changes use minor version bumps.
+* Nested modules from their first commit: `gql`, `connect`, and any future package that brings heavy dependencies, such as gqlgen or protobuf, or is likely to need independent versioning. Each has its own `go.mod` and directory-prefixed tags, for example `gql/v0.1.0` and `connect/v0.1.0`.
+* Add dependencies only to the module that needs them. The named core packages remain in the root module; heavy dependencies belong in the relevant nested module.
+* Keep `cmd/docs` in the root module. The [release workflow](/.gitea/workflows/release.yml) listens only for plain `v*` tags, and [GoReleaser](/.goreleaser.yaml) builds `./cmd/docs`, so only root-module tags publish binaries. Prefixed library tags never publish binaries.
+
+This decision establishes the boundary before the planned packages are added. The rule is implemented in [AGENTS.md](/AGENTS.md), and the existing release configuration already follows it. Future packages apply the rule when introduced; no empty modules are needed.
+
+### Consequences
+
+* Light core packages retain coordinated versions and releases. Consumers do not compile dependencies of packages they do not import; module graph pruning helps limit the dependency graph they load.
+* Heavy-dependency and independently versioned packages avoid overlapping ownership of an import path with older root-module versions.
+* Each nested module needs its own dependency maintenance, checks, and prefixed release tags. That bookkeeping is reserved for packages that need the boundary.
+* Root-module consumers share version bumps even when only another core package changes. Moving a shipped root package into a nested module later still requires coordinated releases and consumer upgrades.

+# Supervise module lifecycle and managed workers within one shutdown budget
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+[Issue 5](https://gitea.auvem.com/corestack/go/issues/5) needs ordered startup and supervised concurrent services for Lark Relay's daemons and muxer. Its [follow-up](https://gitea.auvem.com/corestack/go/issues/5#issuecomment-7805) also requires explicit coordination of background workers: canceling service contexts alone cannot establish that the entire app has stopped.
+
+The owner approved a standard-library-only root package, registration-order setup, reverse rollback/teardown, injected signals and logging, joined errors, and one configurable shutdown budget (default 30 seconds) covering teardown and worker completion. Cancellation precedes teardown, which may unblock workers; a second signal abandons shutdown. The owner accepted the API and ownership details after independent review, including the R1/R2/R3 clarifications. It is a clean-room design; no go-toolkit/app source is used.
+
+## Considered Options
+
+* Keep coordination in each application's main function: least library code, but duplicates signal, rollback and worker ownership rules across the initial consumers.
+* Provide only ordered hooks and service supervision: smaller package, but callers still need a second worker coordinator to satisfy the follow-up and share its shutdown deadline.
+* Provide ordered hooks plus a managed-worker launch method: one owner for cancellation, registration closure, errors and the shutdown budget, without a dependency graph or framework.
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+Choose the third option in `go.auvem.com/corestack/lifecycle`, sharing root-module versions under the accepted module-boundary decision. No CLI integration, dependency DAG, external dependency, restart policy or UI is included.
+
+The public surface is:
+
+```go
+type Module struct {
+    Name     string
+    Setup    func(context.Context) error
+    Teardown func(context.Context) error
+    Run      func(context.Context) error // optional
+}
+type Config struct {
+    Logger          *slog.Logger
+    Signals         <-chan os.Signal
+    ShutdownTimeout time.Duration
+}
+type App struct { /* private state; no stored context */ }
+func New(config Config) (*App, error)
+func (a *App) Register(module Module) error
+func (a *App) Go(ctx context.Context, name string, fn func(context.Context) error) error
+func (a *App) Run(ctx context.Context) error
+```
+
+The accepted signatures have the following edge semantics:
+
+* `New` requires a non-nil logger; zero timeout selects 30 seconds and negative durations fail. `Register` requires a unique nonempty module name and non-nil setup/teardown. Registration closes when `Run` begins; an App runs once. Invalid or late calls return errors without launching work. Configuration is captured by `New` and modules by `Register`, with no global state or initialization side effects.
+* `Run` sets up modules sequentially in registration order using a shared child of its parent context. Only after every setup succeeds does it launch the optional service callbacks concurrently. Dependencies are expressed by registration order and ordinary Go wiring, not lookup or dependency injection APIs. Service scheduling order is unspecified.
+* `Go` is the explicit tooling for background work. A setup or service callback can capture the App and call `Go`; the supplied context must be that callback's lifecycle context or a descendant. Context ancestry is a caller precondition that App cannot generally enforce; detached contexts forfeit graceful cancellation. It launches `fn(ctx)` immediately, tracks completion and errors, and returns once admitted; admission is atomic with shutdown closure. It is available only during setup/running, accepts a nonempty diagnostic name and non-nil function, and is safe for concurrent callers. Worker names need not be unique. Callers must handle admission errors. Raw goroutines remain the caller's responsibility and cannot be included in the completion guarantee.
+* Once startup completes, normal completion means every service and admitted worker has returned nil; no services/workers means immediate normal shutdown. A nil return from just one service/worker does not stop the others. Normal completion atomically closes worker admission so a racing launch is either tracked or rejected. Before startup completes, temporarily having no workers does not end the run.
+* The first setup/service/worker failure, parent cancellation, or received SIGINT/SIGTERM starts shutdown and closes worker admission. Cancel the shared context first, then tear down successfully completed setups in reverse order while services/workers unwind concurrently. Do not wait for workers before teardown: closing a listener or queue may be what releases them. A failing setup owns cleanup of its partial acquisition and is not torn down by App.
+* One fresh shutdown context retains parent values but is detached from parent cancellation and has the configured deadline, measured from the shutdown trigger. Reverse teardown hooks run sequentially with that context; all admitted services/workers share the same remaining completion budget. An in-flight setup is canceled and awaited only within this budget before reverse rollback, avoiding concurrent setup and teardown. Its successful return before abandonment adds it to rollback; failure does not. No further setup starts after shutdown begins.
+* The deadline or a second signal cancels the shutdown context and returns without starting remaining teardown hooks or waiting further for callbacks. App must observe setup/teardown results asynchronously so an uncooperative hook cannot block its return. App will not later call teardown for an abandoned setup, even if it later succeeds; its acquisitions may leak until caller-owned process exit. A cancellation-aware setup must clean up partial acquisitions and return an error when it observes cancellation. Completion reporting must not block after App returns. Go cannot forcibly kill uncooperative goroutines: the bound covers App's coordination and return, not guaranteed resource release or goroutine termination. Callbacks must honor cancellation, and the caller owns process exit and must not reuse abandoned resources. Injected logging must not block shutdown.
+* The caller owns OS signal subscription, filtering to SIGINT/SIGTERM, buffering (at least two), and subscription cleanup. App only receives from the injected channel, never closes it or calls `signal.Notify`, `signal.Stop`, or `os.Exit`. Nil disables signals and a closed channel is disabled. If shutdown began for another reason, the first subsequently received signal counts as the first signal; the next abandons shutdown. Signal counting spans startup and shutdown.
+* Wrap callback failures with module/worker name and phase and combine observed errors using `errors.Join`; retain every completed teardown error, including cancellation errors. A setup/service/worker error solely wrapping its callback context's cancellation/deadline caused by an already-established shutdown is expected and omitted; independent failures and non-cancellation components of joined errors remain errors. An instance-private cancellation cause proves App-initiated cancellation; retain ambiguous parent-propagated cancellation conservatively, including independently canceled descendants. The runtime context remains a direct child of its parent and preserves its deadline. The initiating setup failure remains an error. Parent cancellation returns its context error; graceful signal/normal completion returns nil if cleanup succeeds. Deadline abandonment adds `context.DeadlineExceeded`; signal abandonment adds an error wrapping `context.Canceled` with the signal as context. Retain errors already observed on abandonment, with no promise to collect later results or deterministic concurrent-error order. Do not recover panics.
+
+### Consequences
+
+* One coordinator owns admission, cancellation, hook ordering and completion accounting. Applications must route background work through `Go` and supply cooperative callbacks to claim graceful whole-app completion; this is an explicit boundary, not automatic goroutine discovery.
+* The shutdown bound requires asynchronous hook invocation and synchronized worker admission/completion, even when a consumer has no background workers. A blocked hook can consume the entire budget and leave earlier modules without teardown; a second signal deliberately accepts that same incomplete cleanup sooner.
+* Delivery should remain approximately 300–500 production lines plus focused race tests, a two-service package Example and public/package docs, in one PR. Verify startup/reverse ordering, partial rollback, service and worker failure propagation, normal completion, cancellation/error classification (including a first signal during setup with successful partial cleanup and rollback returning nil, and an initiating setup failure remaining observable), admission races, teardown unblocking workers, a shared deadline (including an uncooperative hook), second signals and joined errors. Test with injected signals, release blocked test goroutines explicitly, and use no real process signals.
+* No plan tier is needed. The accepted decision is implemented by [PR 13](https://gitea.auvem.com/corestack/go/pulls/13), including managed workers, bounded shutdown, focused race tests, the two-service example and public documentation. Independent standard and high implementation reviews are complete with no outstanding findings, and required local checks passed on the reviewed code. Publication is complete; CI and merge readiness are tracked in the PR. Delivery was reconciled against main at `46c4416ed44b4c8cfc69570b9bcb572b624d765e` plus the PR; this records implementation evidence, not a merge or release.

+
+# Documentation policy
+
+The [corestack/go docs-format specification](https://gitea.auvem.com/corestack/go/src/branch/main/docs/docs-format.md) owns record format, templates, and validation. In scaffolded projects, generate records and run checks with the pinned documentation command in the root AGENTS.md; do not maintain local format templates.
+
+The copied policy is a project-owned baseline that the project may adapt; scaffold re-runs never refresh it unless the owner explicitly asks. The project owns its locked checker pin and upgrades: update the tag and ensure compliance; scaffold re-runs retain the existing pin unless the owner asks.
+
+## Choose the smallest useful tier
+
+| Tier | Use when | Scaffold output |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Neither | A single-purpose CLI, library, or script has no consequential architectural choice or durable execution context yet. | No record directories and no docs-check CI step; root instructions tell agents to ask the owner to run scaffold-project to enable records when a consequential choice arises. |
+| ADRs only | Consequential choices need durable rationale, but execution fits a short issue or PR. | Local policy in docs/adr/README.md, ADRs as warranted and docs-check CI. |
+| ADRs + plans | Work spans areas, phases, or sessions and needs durable execution context. | Local policy in docs/adr/README.md, a docs/plans/README.md pointer, ADRs as warranted, one file per plan, and docs-check CI. |
+
+Project size is a signal, not an exemption: a small security-sensitive library can warrant an ADR. Add the CI docs-check step exactly when the selected tier enables records. Change tiers when actual work warrants it; do not create empty record directories in anticipation.
+
+## Decisions and execution
+
+Write an ADR for a consequential choice among real alternatives: difficult to reverse, crossing areas, changing a boundary, data model or security posture, or establishing a convention. Routine details and choices already governed by an accepted ADR or practice guide do not need another record. Read relevant accepted decisions and verify their claims against code before dependent work. Proposed ADRs are context, not authority; only the owner accepts a decision.
+
+Write a plan when work spanning areas, phases or sessions needs durable execution context. Otherwise keep planning in a PR, issue or chat. Each plan has its own file; the directory is the index. Never create a central living plan or living PRD checklist that parallel worktrees continually edit. Closed plans are history, never standing instructions.
+
+Use `write-adr` and `review-adr` when available: they guide reasoning while deferring textual format to repository conventions. Seek independent review and owner acceptance before treating a proposal as binding. Neither a self-check nor an independent recommendation accepts an ADR. ADRs may share a PR with implementation; no separate ADR PR or extra sections are required by this policy.
+
+## Reconcile before final review and merge
+
+Compare the latest target branch plus the PR with the affected decisions and plans, not just the working branch's previous metadata. Update ADR implementation state and `implemented_by` with the real PR URL when delivery evidence supports it. Close finished plans with completion evidence and an Outcome; keep work active when scope remains. Never invent PR links, completed checks, owner acceptance, or delivery evidence. Run `docs check` using the pinned documentation command in the root AGENTS.md after reconciliation.
