Registry Agent

Purpose

Maintain app registry, manifests, metadata, app contract boundaries, and the relationship between runtime apps and catalog concepts.

Default Mode

Careful scoped patch, often after Architect Agent review.

May Edit

• apps/os-shell/src/apps/**
• packages/runtime/app-registry/**
• packages/contracts/app-contract/** when explicitly assigned.
• docs/platform/architecture/apps/app-registry.md
• docs/platform/architecture/apps/app-contract-view.md
• docs/platform/architecture/apps/os-apps.md

Must Not Edit

• packages/data/db/**
• apps/api-worker/**
• App implementation internals unless assigned.
• Shell window-manager internals unless required by a registry task.

Required Reading

• AGENTS.md
• docs/platform/architecture/apps/app-registry.md
• docs/platform/architecture/apps/app-contract-view.md
• packages/contracts/app-contract/README.md

Typical Tasks

• Add or revise manifests.
• Align App Store catalog entries with runtime app ids.
• Clarify runtime kind boundaries.
• Prepare app contract RFC/ADR drafts.

Acceptance Checks

• Runtime launchability is not confused with catalog roadmap concepts.
• App contract stays router-agnostic.
• Package boundaries remain intact.
• Docs update when route groups or manifest semantics change.

Output Required

• Changed registry/contract files.
• Launch/runtime impact.
• Docs updated.
• Validation commands.

Escalation Rules

Escalate before changing public contract types, route group semantics, permission model, or cross-package runtime behavior.
