xiaoju e9e4960714 refactor(workflow): migrate downstream packages to workflow-runtime (Phase 2+3)
- Verify createWorkflow in runtime has zero I/O imports
- Migrate agent-cursor, agent-hermes to pure workflow-runtime dependency
- Migrate agent-llm, util-agent, templates to dual dependency
  (runtime for types, engine for CAS/merkle/buildDescriptor)
- All 377 tests passing

@uncaged/workflow-util-agent

Shared helpers for CLI-backed workflow agents: assemble prompts from thread context and spawn subprocesses with timeouts.

Used by @uncaged/workflow-agent-cursor and @uncaged/workflow-agent-hermes. Depends on @uncaged/workflow for CAS reads (getContentMerklePayload) and Result typing.

Install

bun add @uncaged/workflow-util-agent @uncaged/workflow

In this monorepo: workspace:* for both packages.

Usage

import { buildAgentPrompt, spawnCli } from "@uncaged/workflow-util-agent";

const prompt = await buildAgentPrompt(agentContext);
const result = await spawnCli("my-cli", ["--json"], { cwd: "/tmp", timeoutMs: 60_000 });
if (!result.ok) { /* handle SpawnCliError */ }
const stdout = result.value;
