fix(builtin): split prompt into system/user messages

System message = agent identity (role prompt + output format instruction)
User message = moderator speech (task + edge prompt + history)

This reflects the workflow's core model: moderator speaks to agent
via the graph's edge prompt. Previously all content was in a single
system message with no user message, causing Claude API 400 errors.

- buildBuiltinPrompt now returns { system, user } instead of string
- agent.ts sends system + user as separate messages
- Tests updated accordingly

+# Test Spec: uwf setup model connectivity validation (#335)
+
+## Context
+
+File: `packages/cli-workflow/src/commands/setup.ts`
+Test file: `packages/cli-workflow/src/__tests__/setup-validate.test.ts`
+
+After `cmdSetup` writes config, it should send a test chat completion request to verify the configured model is reachable. If validation fails, warn the user (don't abort — config is already saved).
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+- Add a `validateModel(baseUrl, apiKey, model)` function that sends a minimal chat completion request (`POST /chat/completions` with `messages: [{role:"user",content:"hi"}]`, `max_tokens: 1`)
+- Returns `Result<void, string>` — ok if 2xx response, error with reason string otherwise
+- Use `AbortSignal.timeout(15_000)` for the request
+- Both `cmdSetup` and `cmdSetupInteractive` should call it after saving config
+- `cmdSetup` returns validation result in its return object: `{ ...existing, validation: { ok: true } | { ok: false, error: string } }`
+- `cmdSetupInteractive` prints a warning to console if validation fails, success message if it passes
+- Use the project logger (`createLogger`) — no raw `console.log` except in interactive CLI output (per CLAUDE.md)
+
+## Test Cases (vitest)
+
+### 1. `validateModel` — success path
+- Mock `fetch` to return `{ status: 200, ok: true, json: () => ({}) }`
+- Call `validateModel(baseUrl, apiKey, model)`
+- Assert returns `{ ok: true, value: undefined }`
+- Assert fetch was called with correct URL (`${baseUrl}/chat/completions`), correct headers (`Authorization: Bearer ${apiKey}`), correct body (model, messages, max_tokens: 1)
+
+### 2. `validateModel` — HTTP error (401 unauthorized)
+- Mock `fetch` to return `{ status: 401, ok: false, statusText: "Unauthorized" }`
+- Call `validateModel(baseUrl, apiKey, model)`
+- Assert returns `{ ok: false, error: <string containing "401"> }`
+
+### 3. `validateModel` — HTTP error (404 model not found)
+- Mock `fetch` to return `{ status: 404, ok: false, statusText: "Not Found" }`
+- Assert returns `{ ok: false, error: <string containing "404"> }`
+
+### 4. `validateModel` — network timeout
+- Mock `fetch` to throw `DOMException` with name `AbortError`
+- Assert returns `{ ok: false, error: <string containing "timeout" or "unreachable"> }`
+
+### 5. `validateModel` — network error (DNS failure, connection refused)
+- Mock `fetch` to throw `TypeError("fetch failed")`
+- Assert returns `{ ok: false, error: <string mentioning connectivity> }`
+
+### 6. `cmdSetup` — includes validation result on success
+- Mock global `fetch` for `/chat/completions` to succeed
+- Call `cmdSetup({ provider, baseUrl, apiKey, model, storageRoot })`
+- Assert returned object has `validation: { ok: true, value: undefined }`
+- Assert config files are still written (existing behavior preserved)
+
+### 7. `cmdSetup` — includes validation result on failure (config still saved)
+- Mock global `fetch` for `/chat/completions` to return 401
+- Call `cmdSetup({ ... })`
+- Assert returned object has `validation: { ok: false, error: ... }`
+- Assert `config.yaml` and `.env` are still written (validation failure doesn't prevent saving)
+
+### 8. `cmdSetupInteractive` — prints success message on validation pass
+- Mock `fetch` for both `/models` and `/chat/completions` to succeed
+- Mock stdin to provide valid selections
+- Capture console output
+- Assert output contains a success message like "Model verified" or "✓"
+
+### 9. `cmdSetupInteractive` — prints warning on validation failure
+- Mock `fetch`: `/models` succeeds, `/chat/completions` returns 401
+- Mock stdin for valid selections
+- Capture console output
+- Assert output contains a warning about model not being reachable and suggests trying a different model
+
+### 10. `validateModel` — request body correctness
+- Mock `fetch` to capture the request body
+- Call `validateModel(baseUrl, apiKey, "test-model")`
+- Assert body is `{ model: "test-model", messages: [{role: "user", content: "hi"}], max_tokens: 1 }`
+
+## Export Requirements
+
+- `validateModel` must be exported (for direct unit testing)
+- Signature: `async function validateModel(baseUrl: string, apiKey: string, model: string): Promise<Result<void, string>>`
+- `Result` type: `{ ok: true; value: T } | { ok: false; error: E }` (project convention)
+
+## Files to Create/Modify
+
+- **New**: `packages/cli-workflow/src/__tests__/setup-validate.test.ts` — all test cases above
+- **Modify**: `packages/cli-workflow/src/commands/setup.ts` — add `validateModel`, integrate into `cmdSetup` and `cmdSetupInteractive`

 ## Project Overview
 
-This monorepo implements a workflow engine that executes single-file ESM bundles. Each workflow is a self-contained `.esm.js` file with an XXH64 hash as its version identifier. Shared types live in `@uncaged/workflow-protocol`; bundle authors typically depend on `@uncaged/workflow-runtime`.
+This monorepo implements a stateless workflow engine driven by a single-step CLI (`uwf`). Workflows are **YAML definitions** stored as CAS nodes; threads are immutable chains of CAS-linked step nodes. No daemon — each `uwf thread step` invocation runs one moderator→agent→extract cycle and exits.
 
 ### Key Terms
 
 | Concept | What it is |
 |---------|-----------|
-| **Workflow** | A single-file ESM module that exports `run` (workflow function) and `descriptor` (metadata). Identified by its XXH64 hash (Crockford Base32). |
-| **Bundle** | The physical `.esm.js` file stored in `~/.uncaged/workflow/bundles/`. |
-| **Thread** | A single execution of a workflow, identified by a ULID. State lives in CAS (linked nodes); active threads indexed in `threads.json`; completed rows in `history/*.jsonl`. Debug logs use `.info.jsonl`. |
-| **Role** | A named actor within a workflow. Each role produces output with typed `meta`. |
-| **Registry** | `workflow.yaml` — maps workflow names to current/historical bundle hashes. |
+| **Workflow** | A YAML definition (`WorkflowPayload`) with roles, conditions, and a routing graph. Stored as a CAS node, identified by its XXH64 hash. |
+| **Thread** | A single execution of a workflow, identified by a ULID. State is an immutable CAS chain; active threads indexed in `threads.yaml`; completed threads in `history.jsonl`. |
+| **Role** | A named actor within a workflow. Each role has a system prompt and a JSON Schema `outputSchema`. |
+| **Moderator** | JSONata-based graph evaluator — determines the next role (or `$END`) with zero LLM cost. |
+| **Agent** | An external CLI command (`uwf-hermes`, etc.) spawned by `uwf thread step`. Produces frontmatter markdown output. |
+| **CAS** | Content-Addressed Storage via `@uncaged/json-cas` — all workflow definitions, thread nodes, and outputs are immutable CAS nodes. |
+| **Registry** | `~/.uncaged/workflow/registry.yaml` — maps workflow names to current CAS hashes. |

 # @uncaged/workflow
 
-A workflow engine that executes single-file ESM bundles. Each workflow is a self-contained `.esm.js` file identified by its XXH64 hash (Crockford Base32).
+A stateless workflow engine driven by a single-step CLI. Workflows are YAML definitions with roles, JSONata routing conditions, and a directed graph. Threads are immutable CAS-linked chains — each `uwf thread step` runs one moderator→agent→extract cycle and exits.
 
-## Core Concepts
+## Package Map
 
-| Concept | Description |
-|---------|-------------|
-| **Workflow** | A single-file ESM module exporting `run` (workflow function) and `descriptor` (metadata). Identified by its XXH64 hash. |
-| **Bundle** | The physical `.esm.js` file stored in `~/.uncaged/workflow/bundles/`. |
-| **Thread** | A single execution of a workflow, identified by a ULID. CAS-backed chain plus `threads.json` / `history/*.jsonl`; `.info.jsonl` for debug logs. |
-| **Role** | A named actor within a workflow. Each role produces output with typed `meta`. Roles live inside template packages (`src/roles/`). |
-| **Registry** | `workflow.yaml` — maps workflow names to current/historical bundle hashes. |
-| **CAS** | Content-Addressed Storage — bundles are immutable and addressed by hash. |
+| Package | npm | Role |
+|---------|-----|------|
+| `cli-workflow` | `@uncaged/cli-workflow` | `uwf` CLI binary — thread lifecycle, workflow registry, CAS inspection, setup |
+| `workflow-protocol` | `@uncaged/workflow-protocol` | Shared TypeScript types (`WorkflowPayload`, `StepNodePayload`, `WorkflowConfig`, etc.) |
+| `workflow-moderator` | `@uncaged/workflow-moderator` | JSONata graph evaluator — determines next role or `$END` |
+| `workflow-agent-kit` | `@uncaged/workflow-agent-kit` | `createAgent` factory, context builder, two-layer extract pipeline |
+| `workflow-agent-hermes` | `@uncaged/workflow-agent-hermes` | `uwf-hermes` agent — spawns Hermes chat, captures session |
+| `workflow-util` | `@uncaged/workflow-util` | Crockford Base32, ULID, logger, frontmatter parsing |

+# Built-in Role Agent 调研
+
+## 目标
+
+实现一个内置的 role agent（暂称 `uwf-builtin`），不依赖 hermes/openclaw 等外部 agent 进程。
+直接使用 workflow config 中配置的 model，自己实现 agent run loop 和关键 toolkit。
+
+---
+
+## 关键问题
+
+### Q1: Agent 接口协议
+
+现有 agent 是怎么被 CLI 调用的？输入（argv、环境变量）和输出（stdout、CAS）格式是什么？
+
+**调研要点：**
+- `cli-workflow` 里 `spawnAgent` 的完整实现
+- AgentConfig 类型定义
+- agent 进程的 exit code 约定
+- 环境变量传递（UWF_STORAGE_ROOT 等）
+
+**答案：**
+
+#### 调用链
+
+`uwf thread step` → `cmdThreadStepOnce` → moderator 求值下一 role → `resolveAgentConfig` → `spawnAgent`。
+
+#### AgentConfig 类型
+
+```146:149:packages/workflow-protocol/src/types.ts
+export type AgentConfig = {
+  command: string;
+  args: string[];
+};
+```
+
+在 `config.yaml` 的 `agents` 段注册，例如 `hermes: { command: "uwf-hermes", args: [] }`。
+
+#### spawnAgent 行为
+
+```627:653:packages/cli-workflow/src/commands/thread.ts
+function spawnAgent(agent: AgentConfig, threadId: ThreadId, role: string): CasRef {
+  const argv = [...agent.args, threadId, role];
+  let stdout: string;
+  try {
+    stdout = execFileSync(agent.command, argv, {
+      encoding: "utf8",
+      env: process.env,
+      stdio: ["ignore", "pipe", "pipe"],
+    });
+  } catch (e) {
+  // ... stderr 拼进 fail 消息
+  }
+
+  const line = stdout.trim().split("\n").pop()?.trim() ?? "";
+  if (!isCasRef(line)) {
+    fail(`agent stdout is not a valid CAS hash: ${line || "(empty)"}`);
+  }
+  return line;
+}
+```
+
+| 项目 | 约定 |
+|------|------|
+| **argv** | `[...agent.args, <thread-id>, <role>]`，即 `process.argv[2]`=threadId，`process.argv[3]`=role（与 `createAgent` 的 `parseArgv` 一致） |
+| **stdin** | 忽略 |
+| **stdout** | 纯文本，**最后一行**必须是新 `StepNode` 的 CAS hash（13 字符 Crockford Base32） |
+| **stderr** | 失败时 CLI 会附带 stderr；成功时无约定 |
+| **exit code** | `0` = 成功；非 0 时 `execFileSync` 抛错，step 失败 |
+| **环境变量** | 继承父进程 `process.env`（含 storage root、API key 等） |
+| **链头更新** | **不由 agent 负责**；agent 只写 CAS StepNode，CLI 在拿到 stdout hash 后更新 `threads.yaml` |
+
+Agent 解析优先级（`resolveAgentConfig`）：
+
+1. CLI `--agent` override（整段 command + args 字符串）
+2. `config.agentOverrides[workflow.name][role]`
+3. `config.defaultAgent`
+
+#### 环境变量：Storage Root
+
+文档中写的 `UWF_STORAGE_ROOT` **在当前代码中不存在**。实际优先级（`workflow-agent-kit` / `cli-workflow` 一致）：
+
+```33:43:packages/workflow-agent-kit/src/storage.ts
+export function resolveStorageRoot(): string {
+  const internal = process.env.UNCAGED_WORKFLOW_STORAGE_ROOT;
+  if (internal !== undefined && internal !== "") {
+    return internal;
+  }
+  const userOverride = process.env.WORKFLOW_STORAGE_ROOT;
+  if (userOverride !== undefined && userOverride !== "") {
+    return userOverride;
+  }
+  return getDefaultStorageRoot();
+}
+```
+
+Agent 子进程通过继承的 `process.env` 与父 CLI 共享同一 storage root；`createAgent` 内还会 `loadDotenv({ path: getEnvPath(storageRoot) })` 加载 `~/.uncaged/workflow/.env`。
+
+#### Agent 侧职责（设计文档 + 实现）
+
+- 读 `threads.yaml` 链头，构建 context，执行 role
+- 将 `StepNode` 写入 CAS（`output` / `detail` / `agent` / `prev` / `start`）
+- stdout 打印 step hash
+- **不**更新 `threads.yaml`
+
+---
+
+### Q2: createAgent 工厂
+
+workflow-agent-kit 的 `createAgent` 做了什么？它的完整生命周期是什么？
+
+**调研要点：**
+- `AgentOptions` 类型的 `run` 和 `continue` 回调签名
+- `AgentRunResult` 的完整定义
+- retry 逻辑（frontmatter 校验失败后的重试机制）
+- `persistStep` 写入 CAS 的 StepNode 结构
+
+**答案：**
+
+#### 类型定义
+
+```4:35:packages/workflow-agent-kit/src/types.ts
+export type AgentContext = ModeratorContext & {
+  threadId: ThreadId;
+  role: string;
+  store: Store;
+  workflow: WorkflowPayload;
+  outputFormatInstruction: string;
+};
+
+export type AgentRunResult = {
+  output: string;
+  detailHash: CasRef;
+  sessionId: string;
+};
+
+export type AgentContinueFn = (
+  sessionId: string,
+  message: string,
+  store: AgentContext["store"],
+) => Promise<AgentRunResult>;
+
+export type AgentRunFn = (ctx: AgentContext) => Promise<AgentRunResult>;
+
+export type AgentOptions = {
+  name: string;
+  run: AgentRunFn;
+  continue: AgentContinueFn;
+};
+```
+
+- **`run(ctx)`**：首次执行，返回原始 agent 文本 `output`、审计用 `detailHash`、用于续聊的 `sessionId`。
+- **`continue(sessionId, message, store)`**：在同一 session 上追加用户消息（用于 frontmatter 纠错），再次返回 `AgentRunResult`。
+
+`createAgent(options)` 返回 `() => Promise<void>`，作为 agent CLI 的 `main`（见 `uwf-hermes` 的 `cli.ts`）。
+
+#### 生命周期（按执行顺序）
+
+```101:152:packages/workflow-agent-kit/src/run.ts
+export function createAgent(options: AgentOptions): () => Promise<void> {
+  return async function main(): Promise<void> {
+    const { threadId, role } = parseArgv(process.argv);
+    const storageRoot = resolveStorageRoot();
+    loadDotenv({ path: getEnvPath(storageRoot) });
+
+    const ctx = await buildContextWithMeta(threadId, role);
+    // 1. 校验 role 存在
+    // 2. 从 CAS 取 frontmatter JSON Schema → buildOutputFormatInstruction → ctx.outputFormatInstruction
+
+    let agentResult = await options.run(ctx);
+
+    let outputHash = await tryExtractOutput(agentResult.output, roleDef.frontmatter, ctx);
+
+    for (let retry = 0; retry < MAX_FRONTMATTER_RETRIES && outputHash === null; retry++) {
+      const correctionMessage = "Your previous response did not contain valid YAML frontmatter...";
+      agentResult = await options.continue(agentResult.sessionId, correctionMessage, ctx.meta.store);
+      outputHash = await tryExtractOutput(agentResult.output, roleDef.frontmatter, ctx);
+    }
+
+    if (outputHash === null) { fail(...); }
+
+    const stepHash = await persistStep({ ctx, outputHash, detailHash: agentResult.detailHash, agentName });
+    process.stdout.write(`${stepHash}\n`);
+  };
+}
+```
+
+| 阶段 | 行为 |
+|------|------|
+| 解析 argv | `argv[2]=threadId`, `argv[3]=role`，缺失则 `stderr` + `exit(1)` |
+| Context | `buildContextWithMeta` + 可选 `outputFormatInstruction` |
+| Run | `options.run(ctx)` |
+| Extract | **仅** `tryFrontmatterFastPath`（见 Q4）；**不**调用 `extract()` LLM fallback |
+| Retry | 最多 `MAX_FRONTMATTER_RETRIES = 2` 次 `continue` + 再试 fast-path |
+| Persist | `persistStep` → `writeStepNode` |
+| 输出 | stdout 一行 step CAS hash |
+
+#### StepNode 写入结构
+
+```44:68:packages/workflow-agent-kit/src/run.ts
+async function writeStepNode(options: {
+  store: AgentStore["store"];
+  schemas: AgentStore["schemas"];
+  startHash: CasRef;
+  prevHash: CasRef | null;
+  role: string;
+  outputHash: CasRef;
+  detailHash: CasRef;
+  agentName: string;
+}): Promise<CasRef> {
+  const payload: StepNodePayload = {
+    start: options.startHash,
+    prev: options.prevHash,
+    role: options.role,
+    output: options.outputHash,
+    detail: options.detailHash,
+    agent: options.agentName,
+  };
+  // store.put(stepNode schema) + validate
+}
+```
+
+`agentName` 经 `agentLabel(name)` 规范化：已有 `uwf-` 前缀则原样，否则加 `uwf-`（如 `hermes` → `uwf-hermes`）。
+
+`prevHash`：若链头仍是 `StartNode` 则为 `null`，否则为当前 head step hash。
+
+---
+
+### Q3: Context Builder
+
+`buildContextWithMeta` 构建了什么上下文给 agent？
+
+**调研要点：**
+- `AgentContext` 完整类型定义（所有字段）
+- context 构建过程（CAS chain walk）
+- `outputFormatInstruction` 怎么生成的
+- role definition 怎么获取（从 workflow YAML）
+
+**答案：**
+
+#### AgentContext 字段
+
+继承 `ModeratorContext`：
+
+```60:68:packages/workflow-protocol/src/types.ts
+export type ModeratorContext = {
+  start: StartNodePayload;
+  steps: StepContext[];
+};
+```
+
+```48:51:packages/workflow-protocol/src/types.ts
+export type StartNodePayload = {
+  workflow: CasRef;
+  prompt: string;
+};
+```
+
+```61:63:packages/workflow-protocol/src/types.ts
+export type StepContext = Omit<StepRecord, "output"> & {
+  output: unknown;
+};
+```
+
+`AgentContext` 额外字段：
+
+| 字段 | 类型 | 含义 |
+|------|------|------|
+| `threadId` | `ThreadId` | 当前线程 |
+| `role` | `string` | 本步要执行的角色名 |
+| `store` | `Store` | CAS store（读写节点） |
+| `workflow` | `WorkflowPayload` | 已从 CAS 加载的 workflow 定义 |
+| `outputFormatInstruction` | `string` | 由 `createAgent` 根据 role 的 frontmatter schema 生成；`buildContext*` 初始为 `""` |
+
+`buildContextWithMeta` 还返回 `meta`：
+
+```148:154:packages/workflow-agent-kit/src/context.ts
+export type BuildContextMeta = {
+  storageRoot: string;
+  store: Store;
+  schemas: AgentStore["schemas"];
+  headHash: CasRef;
+  chain: ChainState;
+};
+```
+
+#### CAS chain walk
+
+1. 从 `threads.yaml[threadId]` 取 `headHash`
+2. `walkChain`：若 head 是 `StartNode`，`stepsNewestFirst=[]`；否则沿 `prev` 收集所有 `StepNode`， newest-first
+3. `buildHistory`：反转为时间序，`expandOutput` 把每步 `output` CasRef 展开为 JSON payload（供 prompt / JSONata 使用）
+4. `loadWorkflow`：从 `start.workflow` CasRef 加载 `WorkflowPayload`
+
+#### Role definition 来源
+
+- 作者写在 workflow YAML 的 `roles.<name>`（`goal`, `capabilities`, `procedure`, `output`, `frontmatter` 等）
+- `uwf workflow put` 时 `frontmatter` 内联 JSON Schema 经 `putSchema` 存入 CAS，workflow 里存的是 **CasRef**
+- Agent 运行时：`ctx.workflow.roles[ctx.role]` → `RoleDefinition`
+
+#### outputFormatInstruction
+
+在 `createAgent` 中，若 `getSchema(store, roleDef.frontmatter)` 非空，则：
+
+```typescript
+ctx.outputFormatInstruction = buildOutputFormatInstruction(frontmatterSchema);
+```
+
+`buildOutputFormatInstruction` 根据 JSON Schema 的 `properties` 生成「必须以 `---` YAML frontmatter 开头」的说明和示例字段列表（见 `build-output-format-instruction.ts`）。
+
+各 agent 实现（Hermes / Claude Code）在组装 prompt 时把该块放在最前，再接 `buildRolePrompt(roleDef)`。
+
+---
+
+### Q4: Extract Pipeline
+
+agent 输出怎么被处理成结构化数据？
+
+**调研要点：**
+- frontmatter fast-path 的完整逻辑
+- LLM extract fallback 的实现（`extract.ts`）
+- frontmatter schema 从哪里来（role 定义里的 `frontmatter` 字段）
+- 校验失败时的 correction prompt 是什么
+
+**答案：**
+
+#### Schema 来源
+
+Workflow YAML 中每个 role 的 `frontmatter:` 段是 JSON Schema 对象；注册时：
+
+```66:76:packages/cli-workflow/src/commands/workflow.ts
+async function resolveFrontmatterRef(..., frontmatter: unknown): Promise<CasRef> {
+  // 校验为 JSON Schema → putSchema → 返回 CasRef
+}
+```
+
+运行时 `roleDef.frontmatter` 即该 schema 的 CAS hash；structured `output` 节点用**同一 schema** 写入 CAS。
+
+#### Frontmatter fast-path（createAgent 实际使用的路径）
+
+```148:195:packages/workflow-agent-kit/src/frontmatter.ts
+export async function tryFrontmatterFastPath(
+  raw: string,
+  outputSchema: CasRef,
+  store: Store,
+): Promise<FrontmatterFastPathResult | null>
+```
+
+流程：
+
+1. `parseFrontmatterMarkdown(raw)` → 标准 agent 字段（`status`, `next`, `confidence`, `artifacts`, `scope`）+ body
+2. `validateFrontmatter` 失败 → `null`
+3. `getSchema(store, outputSchema)` + `extractSchemaFields` 得到 role 需要的属性名
+4. `buildCandidate`：从标准 frontmatter + YAML 原始字段拼出符合 schema 的对象
+5. `store.put(outputSchema, candidate)` + `validate` → 成功则 `{ body, outputHash }`
+
+**永不抛错**，失败返回 `null`。
+
+#### LLM extract fallback（已实现但未接入 createAgent）
+
+```135:181:packages/workflow-agent-kit/src/extract.ts
+export async function extract(
+  rawOutput: string,
+  outputSchema: CasRef,
+  config: WorkflowConfig,
+): Promise<ExtractResult>
+```
+
+- 模型：`resolveExtractModelAlias(config)` → `modelOverrides.extract` → `models.extract` → `models.default` → `defaultModel`
+- HTTP：`POST {baseUrl}/chat/completions`，`response_format: { type: "json_object" }`
+- System：要求按 JSON Schema 从 agent 输出提取单个 JSON 对象
+- 校验通过后 `store.put(outputSchema, structured)`
+
+**重要：`createAgent` 当前未调用 `extract()`**。fast-path 失败且 2 次 `continue` 仍失败则直接 `fail()`。builtin agent 若希望无 frontmatter 也能跑，需在 kit 或 builtin 层显式接入 `extract()`。
+
+#### Correction prompt（retry）
+
+```125:128:packages/workflow-agent-kit/src/run.ts
+const correctionMessage =
+  "Your previous response did not contain valid YAML frontmatter matching the role schema.\n" +
+  "You MUST begin your response with a YAML frontmatter block (--- delimited).\n" +
+  "Please output ONLY the corrected frontmatter block followed by your work.";
+```
+
+通过 `options.continue(sessionId, correctionMessage, store)` 发给外部 agent；builtin 需在自有 message 历史里 append 同等语义的 user 消息。
+
+---
+
+### Q5: Model 配置与 LLM 调用
+
+workflow 怎么配置和使用 model？
+
+**调研要点：**
+- `WorkflowConfig` 中 providers/models/defaultModel/modelOverrides 的完整定义
+- `resolveModel` 函数的实现
+- `chatCompletionText` 的实现（OpenAI 兼容 HTTP 客户端）
+- 有没有 streaming 支持？tool calling 支持？
+
+**答案：**
+
+#### WorkflowConfig
+
+```136:160:packages/workflow-protocol/src/types.ts
+export type ProviderConfig = {
+  baseUrl: string;
+  apiKeyEnv: string;
+};
+
+export type ModelConfig = {
+  provider: ProviderAlias;
+  name: string;
+};
+
+export type WorkflowConfig = {
+  providers: Record<ProviderAlias, ProviderConfig>;
+  models: Record<ModelAlias, ModelConfig>;
+  agents: Record<AgentAlias, AgentConfig>;
+  defaultAgent: AgentAlias;
+  agentOverrides: Record<WorkflowName, Record<RoleName, AgentAlias>> | null;
+  defaultModel: ModelAlias;
+  modelOverrides: Record<Scenario, ModelAlias> | null;
+};
+```
+
+示例见 `docs/architecture.md`（`providers` / `models` / `defaultModel` / `modelOverrides.extract`）。
+
+#### resolveModel
+
+```32:50:packages/workflow-agent-kit/src/extract.ts
+export function resolveModel(config: WorkflowConfig, alias: ModelAlias): ResolvedLlmProvider {
+  const modelEntry = config.models[alias];
+  const providerEntry = config.providers[modelEntry.provider];
+  const apiKey = process.env[providerEntry.apiKeyEnv];
+  return { baseUrl: providerEntry.baseUrl, apiKey, model: modelEntry.name };
+}
+```
+
+`ResolvedLlmProvider = { baseUrl, apiKey, model }`。
+
+Extract 专用别名解析：
+
+```18:30:packages/workflow-agent-kit/src/extract.ts
+export function resolveExtractModelAlias(config: WorkflowConfig): ModelAlias {
+  return config.modelOverrides?.extract ?? (config.models.extract ? "extract" : config.models.default ? "default" : config.defaultModel);
+}
+```
+
+**尚无** `modelOverrides` 按 role/workflow 解析 agent 主模型的函数；builtin 首版可用 `config.defaultModel`，扩展时可加 `modelOverrides.agent` 或与 `agentOverrides` 对称的表。
+
+#### chatCompletionText
+
+```87:124:packages/workflow-agent-kit/src/extract.ts
+async function chatCompletionText(
+  provider: ResolvedLlmProvider,
+  messages: Array<{ role: "system" | "user"; content: string }>,
+): Promise<string>
+```
+
+| 能力 | 现状 |
+|------|------|
+| 协议 | OpenAI 兼容 `POST /chat/completions` |
+| Streaming | **无**（一次性 `response.text()`） |
+| Tool calling | **无**（无 `tools` / `tool_calls` 字段） |
+| 多模态 | **无**（仅 text `content`） |
+| Extract 专用 | `response_format: { type: "json_object" }` |
+
+builtin agent 的 run loop 需要**新写**带 `tools` 的 completion 客户端（可放在 `workflow-agent-builtin` 或扩展 `workflow-agent-kit` 的 `llm/` 模块），不能复用当前 `chatCompletionText` 而不改。
+
+---
+
+### Q6: Hermes Agent 参考实现
+
+`uwf-hermes` 是怎么实现 `run` 和 `continue` 的？
+
+**调研要点：**
+- prompt 怎么组装的（outputFormatInstruction + rolePrompt + task + history）
+- hermes CLI 的调用参数
+- session management（resume）
+- 输出怎么捕获
+
+**答案：**
+
+#### Prompt 组装
+
+```40:53:packages/workflow-agent-hermes/src/hermes.ts
+export function buildHermesPrompt(ctx: AgentContext): string {
+  const roleDef = ctx.workflow.roles[ctx.role];
+  const rolePrompt = roleDef !== undefined ? buildRolePrompt(roleDef) : "";
+  const parts: string[] = [];
+  if (ctx.outputFormatInstruction !== "") {
+    parts.push(ctx.outputFormatInstruction, "");
+  }
+  parts.push(rolePrompt, "", "## Task", ctx.start.prompt);
+  const historyBlock = buildHistorySummary(ctx.steps);
+  if (historyBlock !== "") {
+    parts.push("", historyBlock);
+  }
+  return parts.join("\n");
+}
+```
+
+`buildRolePrompt` 生成 `## Goal` / `## Capabilities` / `## Prepare`（含 `generateCliReference()`）/ `## Procedure` / `## Output`。
+
+`buildHistorySummary`：每步 `role`、`JSON.stringify(step.output)`、`agent`。
+
+Hermes 把**整段 prompt 作为单条 user 消息**传给 `hermes chat -q`（无独立 system channel）。
+
+#### Hermes CLI 参数
+
+首次：
+
+```88:97:packages/workflow-agent-hermes/src/hermes.ts
+spawnHermes(["chat", "-q", prompt, "--yolo", "--max-turns", "90", "--quiet"]);
+```
+
+续聊：
+
+```100:114:packages/workflow-agent-hermes/src/hermes.ts
+spawnHermes(["chat", "--resume", sessionId, "-q", message, "--yolo", "--max-turns", "90", "--quiet"]);
+```
+
+#### Session
+
+- stdout/stderr 中解析 `session_id: <id>`（`parseSessionIdFromStdout`）
+- 会话文件：`~/.hermes/sessions/session_<id>.json`
+- `loadHermesSession` → `storeHermesSessionDetail`：每 assistant/tool 消息写成 CAS turn 节点，汇总为 `detail`；**output 文本** = 最后一条非空 `assistant` 的 `content`
+
+#### 与 createAgent 的衔接
+
+```157:164:packages/workflow-agent-hermes/src/hermes.ts
+export function createHermesAgent(): () => Promise<void> {
+  return createAgent({ name: "hermes", run: runHermes, continue: continueHermes });
+}
+```
+
+`uwf-hermes` 入口：`createHermesAgent()` 即 main。
+
+Claude Code 包（`workflow-agent-claude-code`）结构相同：`buildClaudeCodePrompt` 同构，`claude -p` + `--resume` + JSON stdout 解析。
+
+---
+
+### Q7: Toolkit 需求分析
+
+要实现一个自给自足的 agent，最少需要哪些 tool？
+
+**调研要点：**
+- 现有 workflow example（solve-issue.yaml）里 role 都做什么任务
+- hermes agent 在 workflow 场景下常用哪些 tool
+- 哪些 tool 是 agent loop 必须的（如 file read/write、shell exec、web fetch）
+
+**答案：**
+
+#### solve-issue.yaml 角色能力
+
+| Role | capabilities | 隐含需求 |
+|------|----------------|----------|
+| planner | issue-analysis, planning | 读上下文/仓库、总结，通常不需写代码 |
+| developer | file-edit, shell, testing | **读文件、写文件、执行命令** |
+| reviewer | code-review, static-analysis | 读 diff/文件、静态分析（可读+可选 shell） |
+
+#### Hermes 侧
+
+Hermes 自带完整 agent runtime（`--yolo`、max-turns），tool 集由 Hermes 项目定义，workflow 不配置。从 session JSON 可见 `tool_calls` 被记入 detail，常见包括文件与 shell 类工具。
+
+#### Builtin 最小 toolkit 建议
+
+| 优先级 | Tool | 用途 |
+|--------|------|------|
+| P0 | `read_file` | 读仓库/配置/issue 上下文 |
+| P0 | `write_file` / `edit_file` | developer 改代码 |
+| P0 | `run_command` | 测试、构建、git（需 cwd + timeout + 输出截断） |
+| P1 | `list_dir` / `glob` | 导航代码库 |
+| P1 | `grep` | 搜索符号/引用 |
+| P2 | `fetch_url` | 查文档（planner 偶尔需要） |
+
+**不需要**在 builtin 里实现 moderator / workflow 路由工具——仍由 `uwf thread step` + JSONata 负责。
+
+#### Agent loop 必须能力
+
+1. 多轮 LLM 调用 + **OpenAI-style tool_calls** 解析与执行
+2. 将 tool 结果 append 回 messages
+3. 终止条件：模型不再请求 tool，或达到 `maxTurns`
+4. 最终响应须含合法 YAML frontmatter（满足 Q4），供 `createAgent` fast-path
+
+---
+

+```
+
+**新包**：`packages/workflow-agent-builtin`，bin `uwf-builtin`，仅依赖 `workflow-agent-kit`、`workflow-protocol`、`workflow-util`（可选 `@uncaged/json-cas` 写 detail schema）。
+
+**分层**：
+
+| 层 | 职责 |
+|----|------|
+| `createAgent`（kit） | argv、context、frontmatter extract、StepNode、stdout 协议 — **不变** |
+| `builtin/agent.ts` | `run` / `continue` 实现 |
+| `builtin/llm.ts` | OpenAI 兼容 chat + tools（可后续抽到 kit） |
+| `builtin/tools/*.ts` | 各 tool 的 JSON Schema + handler |
+| `builtin/prompt.ts` | 复用 Hermes 的 prompt 拼接逻辑（或抽到 kit 的 `buildAgentPrompt`） |
+| `builtin/detail.ts` | 类似 Hermes：每轮 assistant/tool 写入 CAS detail |
+
+**配置集成**：
+
+```yaml
+agents:
+  builtin:
+    command: "uwf-builtin"
+    args: []
+defaultAgent: "builtin"   # 或 agentOverrides 按 role 指定
+```
+
+模型：首版 `resolveModel(config, config.defaultModel)`；后续可增加 `modelOverrides.agent` 或 per-role 映射。
+
+---
+
+### Agent Run Loop
+
+伪代码（单次 `run(ctx)`）：
+
+```
+1. provider ← resolveModel(loadWorkflowConfig(), defaultModel)
+2. system ← buildBuiltinPrompt(ctx)   // outputFormatInstruction + buildRolePrompt + Task + History
+3. messages ← [{ role: "system", content: system }]
+4. sessionId ← newULID()              // 内存或临时目录，供 continue 使用
+5. turns ← []
+
+6. for turn in 1..MAX_TURNS:
+     response ← chatCompletionWithTools(provider, messages, TOOL_DEFINITIONS)
+     record assistant message + tool_calls in turns
+
+     if response has no tool_calls:
+       finalText ← response.content
+       break
+
+     for each tool_call:
+       result ← executeTool(tool_call, { cwd: process.cwd() })
+       messages.push tool result
+       record in turns
+
+7. if no finalText with valid frontmatter after loop:
+     optionally one-shot "finalize" message without tools
+
+8. detailHash ← storeBuiltinDetail(store, sessionId, turns, metadata)
+9. return { output: finalText, detailHash, sessionId }
+```
+
+**`continue(sessionId, message, store)`**：
+
+- 从内存/磁盘恢复 `messages` + `turns`
+- `messages.push({ role: "user", content: message })`（correction 或续聊）
+- 从步骤 6 继续，步数上限可单独设小一点（如 3）
+- 返回新的 `AgentRunResult`
+
+**与 frontmatter 的配合**：
+
+- system prompt 已含 `outputFormatInstruction`；最后一轮可强制 user：`Now output your final answer with YAML frontmatter only if you have not yet.`
+- 仍依赖 `createAgent` 的 fast-path + 最多 2 次 continue
+
+**安全**：
+
+- `run_command`：白名单或需 `UWF_BUILTIN_ALLOW_SHELL=1`，默认工作区限定在 `process.cwd()` 或 `start` 中将来扩展的 `workspace` 字段
+- 路径：禁止 `..` 逃逸出 workspace root
+
+---
+
+### Toolkit 设计
+
+统一注册表：
+
+```typescript
+type BuiltinTool = {
+  name: string;
+  description: string;
+  parameters: JSONSchema; // object type
+  execute: (args: unknown, ctx: ToolContext) => Promise<string>;
+};
+
+type ToolContext = {
+  cwd: string;
+  storageRoot: string;
+};
+```
+
+| Tool name | OpenAI function | 行为摘要 |
+|-----------|-----------------|----------|
+| `read_file` | `read_file` | `{ path }` → UTF-8 文本，大小上限 |
+| `write_file` | `write_file` | `{ path, content }` → 写盘，返回确认 |
+| `edit_file` | 可选 | search/replace 块，减少 token |
+| `run_command` | `run_command` | `{ command, cwd? }` → stdout/stderr 截断 |
+| `list_dir` | `list_dir` | `{ path }` → 条目列表 |
+| `grep` | `grep` | `{ pattern, path? }` → 匹配行 |
+
+**LLM 请求形状**（扩展 extract 客户端）：
+
+```json
+{
+  "model": "...",
+  "messages": [...],
+  "tools": [{ "type": "function", "function": { "name", "description", "parameters" } }],
+  "tool_choice": "auto"
+}
+```
+
+解析 `choices[0].message.tool_calls`，执行后以 `{ role: "tool", tool_call_id, content }` 回传。
+
+**不提供** streaming 首版；detail CAS 记录每轮 tool 名/参数/结果摘要供 `uwf thread step-details` 调试。
+
+---
+
+### 与现有架构的集成
+
+| 集成点 | 方式 |
+|--------|------|
+| CLI 协议 | 实现标准 agent CLI：`uwf-builtin <thread-id> <role>`，stdout 一行 step hash，exit 0/1 |
+| 工厂 | `export function createBuiltinAgent()` → `createAgent({ name: "builtin", run, continue })` |
+| Context / Prompt | 复用 `buildContextWithMeta`、`buildRolePrompt`、`buildOutputFormatInstruction`；prompt 布局对齐 `buildHermesPrompt` |
+| 结构化输出 | 优先 YAML frontmatter fast-path；可选后续在 `createAgent` 增加 `extract()` fallback 开关 |
+| 配置 | `config.yaml` 增加 `agents.builtin`；`uwf setup` 可选默认 agent |
+| 存储 | `resolveStorageRoot()` + `loadWorkflowConfig` + `getEnvPath`；与 Hermes 相同，**不**改 `threads.yaml` 写入方 |
+| 测试 | 单元测试：tool handlers、prompt 组装、mock LLM tool loop；集成测试：临时 storage root + fake provider |
+| 发布 | 新包 `@uncaged/workflow-agent-builtin`，bin `uwf-builtin`，加入 `scripts/publish-all.mjs` |
+
+**明确不做**：
+
+- 不替代 moderator / 不在 agent 内调用 `uwf thread step`
+- 不依赖 Hermes/OpenClaw/Claude Code 二进制
+- 首版不实现 streaming、不实现 MCP
+
+**建议实现顺序**：
+
+1. `llm.ts`：tool calling HTTP 客户端 + 单测
+2. P0 tools + `runBuiltinLoop`
+3. `createBuiltinAgent` + detail CAS
+4. `config` / docs / `examples` 可选 `agentOverrides` 演示
+5. （可选）`createAgent` 接入 `extract()` fallback

+   - 用原始 sid 发 prompt → `stopReason: "refusal"`（session 不在内存中）
+   - 用新 sid 发 prompt → 能跑但无历史（agent 回答"不知道 secret code"）
+
+### 验证脚本
+
+```python
+# 直接调用 _restore 验证
+cd ~/.hermes/hermes-agent
+python3 -c "
+import sys; sys.path.insert(0, '.')
+from acp_adapter.session import SessionManager
+sm = SessionManager()
+result = sm._restore('SESSION_ID_HERE')
+print(result)  # None — _make_agent 抛异常被吞掉
+"
+```
+
+### 两个 bug
+
+1. **`_make_agent` provider fallback 不完整**: restore 时 DB 里有 `base_url` 和 `api_mode`，但 `resolve_runtime_provider` 失败后这些值没被正确传递给 AIAgent
+2. **`_restore` 的 except 太宽泛**: 静默吞掉所有异常，连 warning 都只在 debug 级别，导致 resume 失败完全无感知
+
+### Hermes 版本
+
+- v0.10.0 (2026.4.16) — 初始测试
+- v0.14.0 (2026.5.16) — 更新后重新测试，bug 仍在
+- 代码路径: ~/.hermes/hermes-agent/acp_adapter/session.py
+
+### v0.14.0 测试结果 (2026-05-23)
+
+- `_restore` 仍因 `custom` provider 解析失败返回 None
+- 日志更清晰了：`WARNING: Failed to recreate agent for ACP session ...`
+- resume fallback 创建新 session（新 sid），但 agent 居然能回答之前的问题（可能通过 memory/session search）
+- 核心问题不变：sessionId 变了，client 用旧 sid 发 prompt → refusal
+
+### 上游 Issue

+- https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/8083 — resume 静默创建新 session
