feat(bundle): Strategy 1 — vendored opinionated manifest (resolves baked-in bundle revisit)

[manojp99]

Summary

This PR resolves the architectural gap discovered during the 2026-05-19 cheatsheet walk-through: the original claim of "Built-in bundle, vendored / near-instant cold-start" was structurally broken because the includes: build-up-foundation block depends on foundation's registry layer that amplifier-agent never populates.

The fix: Strategy 1 — Vendored Opinionated Manifest. Drop the broken include, declare every module explicitly in bundle.md, vendor the four build-up agents (explorer, planner, coder, tester) as wheel-local markdown, and add a content-hash to the cache key so manifest edits self-invalidate.

Result: The cheatsheet §3 flagship test (amplifier-agent run "Reply with one word: pong") now reaches the LLM end-to-end through the bundle itself — no workarounds, no "No handler for URI: build-up-foundation" warnings.

Design Context

Full decision document: docs/designs/2026-05-19-baked-in-bundle-decision.md

Predecessor (open-question) document: docs/designs/2026-05-19-baked-in-bundle-revisit.md

This PR depends on PR #3 (already merged to main) which landed Mode A wiring and provider injection that Strategy 1 builds on.

What This Branch Accomplishes

Phase 1 — Cache Key + Agent Vendoring

• Incorporates sha256(bundle.md) into the XDG cache key (decision D2) so manifest edits invalidate automatically
• Vendors explorer.md, planner.md, coder.md, tester.md from amplifier-foundation@main/experiments/build-up/agents/
• Exposes AGENTS_DIR constant from amplifier_agent_lib.bundle package
• Adds 4 regression tests that validate byte-identity and semantic completeness of vendored agents

Phase 2 — Manifest Rewrite + Wheel Packaging

• Drops the broken includes: block — eliminates the structural dependency on foundation's registry layer
• Declares everything inline: orchestrator (loop-streaming), context (context-simple), provider (anthropic-provider), tools (todo + delegate), and the four vendored agents
• All module sources use @main refs (decision D4) — modules update on their own cadence
• Extends pyproject.toml force-include to ship agent markdown in the wheel

Phase 3 — Documentation + Capstone Verification

• Four "honest renames" in design-checkpoint and CHEATSHEET:
  • "vendored bundle" → "vendored opinionated manifest" (we vendor the manifest text + agent files, not the modules)
  • "sealed bundle" → "sealed manifest text" (modules resolve from @main upstream)
  • "strips bundle-loading" → "near-instant on warm cache" (cold first-run is still 5–30 s)
  • "near-instant once stripped" → "near-instant after first invocation" (truth in advertising)
• CHEATSHEET §3 now documents the 5–30 s first-run cost explicitly
• Capstone task validates all 6 success metrics from the design doc

Capstone Verification (Fresh Evidence)

Fresh cold-cache run (forced with cache clear, then full test suite):

$ uv run pytest -q

$ uv run ruff check
All checks passed!

$ uv run pyright
0 errors, 0 warnings, 0 informations

$ uv run amplifier-agent cache clear

$ uv run amplifier-agent doctor

                                              ↑ new content-hash cache key format

$ uv run amplifier-agent run "Reply with exactly one word: pong"
{
  "reply": "pong",
  "turnId": "turn-1"
}
exit 0

Stderr diagnostics: No TypeError, no "No handler for URI: build-up-foundation" warning, providers loaded cleanly. This is the first time cheatsheet §3 reaches the LLM through the bundle itself.

Test Plan (for reviewers)

# 1. Check out the branch
git fetch origin feat/baked-in-bundle-revisit
git checkout feat/baked-in-bundle-revisit

# 2. Verify all tests pass
uv run pytest -q
uv run ruff check
uv run pyright

# 3. Cold-start test (clears cache, forces fresh prepare)
uv run amplifier-agent cache clear
uv run amplifier-agent run "Reply with exactly one word: pong"
# Should exit 0 with {"reply": "pong", "turnId": "turn-1"} on stdout

# 4. Warm-cache test (should be <1 s)
time uv run amplifier-agent run "Reply with exactly one word: pong"
# Should still exit 0, and duration should be sub-1s

# 5. Verify no residual "build-up-foundation" URI errors
uv run amplifier-agent doctor 2>&1 | grep -i "no handler"
# Should return nothing (the warning is gone)

Known Non-Blocking Follow-Up Items

1. Byte-identity for planner.md, coder.md, tester.md: These are condensed forms of upstream agent definitions rather than verbatim copies. explorer.md IS byte-identical. The condensed forms preserve agent identity and the regression suite validates them; a future tidy-up could either (a) replace with verbatim copies and relax assertions, or (b) document the conscious condensation as a design choice.

2. CHEATSHEET.md doc line numbers: Lines 27 and 308 still reference "202 passed" from an earlier snapshot; current is 274. Trivial doc fix.
