refactor(workflow): decouple agent context from CAS and fix monorepo checks

Move CAS access into extract dependencies so AgentContext stays state-only, and clean up type/lint/check regressions across CLI/dashboard to keep full check green.

 Workflow bundles (`.esm.js`) follow the same rule: export `const run` and `const descriptor`, not `export default`.
 
+### Folder Module Discipline
+
+Every folder under `src/` is a **module boundary**. Four rules:
+
+| # | Rule | Rationale |
+|---|------|-----------|
+| 1 | **Every folder exports via `index.ts`** | Single entry point for the module |
+| 2 | **Types live in `types.ts`** | Each folder's type definitions go in `<folder>/types.ts`, not scattered across files |
+| 3 | **Single export source** | Only `index.ts` may re-export. No file may re-export from another module's internals. Cross-module imports must go through `index.ts` — never reach past it to import a specific file |
+| 4 | **`index.ts` is pure re-exports** | No type definitions, no function implementations — only `export { ... } from` statements |
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ Good — import through module boundary
+import { createCasStore } from "../cas/index.js";
+import type { CasStore } from "../cas/index.js";
+
+// ❌ Bad — reaching past index.ts
+import { createCasStore } from "../cas/cas.js";
+
+// ❌ Bad — re-exporting from non-index file
+// in engine/engine.ts:
+export { createCasStore } from "../cas/cas.js";
+
+// ❌ Bad — types defined in index.ts
+// in cas/index.ts:
+export type CasStore = { ... };  // should be in cas/types.ts
+```
+
+**Exception**: The package-level `src/index.ts` is the public API surface and re-exports from folder `index.ts` files. Files that remain at `src/` root (e.g. `types.ts`, `workflow-as-agent.ts`) are not inside a folder module and follow normal rules.

+# @uncaged/cli-workflow
+
+Command-line interface for the Uncaged workflow engine (`uncaged-workflow`).
+
+The CLI reads and writes the workflow registry, starts and inspects threads, manages CAS blobs, and prints agent-oriented reference docs via `skill`. It uses the same storage layout as `@uncaged/workflow` (default `~/.uncaged/workflow`).
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+bun add @uncaged/cli-workflow
+```
+
+In this monorepo: `"@uncaged/cli-workflow": "workspace:*"`. Depends on `"@uncaged/workflow": "workspace:*"`.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+uncaged-workflow workflow list
+uncaged-workflow run <name> --prompt "Your task"
+uncaged-workflow thread show <id>
+uncaged-workflow skill
+```
+
+Invoking the CLI with no command (or from this repo: `bun packages/cli-workflow/src/cli.ts`) prints:
+
+```
+uncaged-workflow — workflow engine CLI
+

+  workflow add <name> <file.esm.js> [--types <path>]  Register a workflow bundle in the registry

+# @uncaged/workflow-dashboard
+
+Web dashboard for the Uncaged Workflow engine. Connects to the local
+`uncaged-workflow serve` API to display threads, workflows, and CAS data.
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+# Start the local API server (in another terminal)
+uncaged-workflow serve
+
+# Start the dashboard dev server
+bun run dev
+```
+
+Opens at http://localhost:5173. Vite proxies `/api/*` to `localhost:7860`.
+
+## Build
+
+```bash
+bun run build
+```
+
+Output goes to `dist/` — static files ready for CF Pages or any host.

+# @uncaged/workflow-agent-cursor
+
+`AgentFn` adapter that runs the `cursor-agent` CLI against a workspace path derived from the thread.
+
+The agent builds a full prompt (system + task + step history via `@uncaged/workflow-util-agent`), extracts the absolute workspace path with your `extract` + Zod schema, then spawns `cursor-agent` with `--workspace`, model, and non-interactive flags.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+bun add @uncaged/workflow-agent-cursor @uncaged/workflow @uncaged/workflow-util-agent zod
+```
+
+In this monorepo: `"@uncaged/workflow-agent-cursor": "workspace:*"` plus `workspace:*` for `@uncaged/workflow` and `@uncaged/workflow-util-agent`.
+
+## Usage
+
+```typescript
+import { createCursorAgent } from "@uncaged/workflow-agent-cursor";
+
+const agent = createCursorAgent({
+  model: null, // null → "auto"
+  timeout: 0, // ms; 0 = no limit (spawnCli timeout disabled)
+  extract: myExtractFn,
+});
+```
+
+## API overview
+
+| Export | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `createCursorAgent(config)` | Returns `AgentFn` that runs `cursor-agent` with `buildAgentPrompt(ctx)` |
+| `CursorAgentConfig` | `model`, `timeout`, `extract` (must supply workspace path) |
+| `validateCursorAgentConfig` | Config validation result |
+| `buildAgentPrompt` | Re-exported from `@uncaged/workflow-util-agent` |
+
+Requires `cursor-agent` on `PATH` at runtime.

+# @uncaged/workflow-agent-hermes
+
+`AgentFn` adapter that runs the `hermes` CLI in non-interactive `chat` mode (Nerve-style flags: `-q`, `--yolo`, `--quiet`, bounded `--max-turns`).
+
+The agent composes the same thread-aware prompt as other CLI-backed agents via `buildAgentPrompt` from `@uncaged/workflow-util-agent`, then spawns `hermes` and returns stdout on success.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+bun add @uncaged/workflow-agent-hermes @uncaged/workflow @uncaged/workflow-util-agent
+```
+
+In this monorepo: use `workspace:*` for all three `@uncaged/*` packages.
+
+## Usage
+
+```typescript
+import { createHermesAgent } from "@uncaged/workflow-agent-hermes";
+
+const agent = createHermesAgent({
+  model: "your-model", // or null to omit --model
+  timeout: 600_000, // ms, or null for no timeout
+});
+```
+
+## API overview
+
+| Export | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `createHermesAgent(config)` | Returns `AgentFn` wrapping `hermes chat -q ...` |
+| `HermesAgentConfig` | `model`, `timeout` |
