Hpatch is for the agent, you. Think from that perspective, not the user's.
README.mdis the user guide for installation, deployment, and user-operated router and shell workflows. Open its relevant section before changing one of those workflows. Update it only when the documented user action, configuration, prerequisite, or observable workflow changes. Normative behavior and acceptance criteria belong in the requirement file listed bydoc/spec/index.md.doc/spec/index.mdlists one requirement file per interface. Open that file when behavior or acceptance criteria are in question.doc/architecture/index.mdlists one ownership contract per boundary. Open that file before moving responsibilities.contrib/codex/file-editing-instructions.mdandtool_grammar.larkonly when editing or validating HPATCH syntax or Codex model guidance.

| Behavior | Authoritative area |
|---|---|
| Public engine entry points and workspace APIs | run.go |
| Parsing, targets, edit planning, transactions, translation, reports, hooks, and engine metrics | Root-package *.go files and adjacent tests |
| Shared quoted-string and heredoc framing | internal/hpatchsyntax |
| Portable verified-row, source-capability, Go-lexical, and shell-header semantics | internal/verifiedrow, internal/sourcekind, internal/golex, internal/shellsyntax |
| Versioned plugin shared-core adapter and private WASM bridge | internal/router/toolplugin/core-v1.mjs, internal/router/toolplugin/core-v1.d.ts, internal/sharedwasm |
| Router lifecycle, modes, and HTTP endpoints | internal/router/server.go |
| Third-party native subagent projection, Grok authentication/translation, and catalog augmentation | internal/router/subagent_bridge.go, internal/router/grok_*.go |
| Codex authentication and upstream Responses transport | internal/router/client.go |
| Tool replacement, host translation, response restoration, replay, and rejected-script recovery | internal/router/hpatch_proxy.go, internal/router/hpatch_recovery.go |
| Carrier catalog and model-visible projection | internal/router/tool_carrier.go, internal/router/tool_registry.go |
| Built-in tool sources and private execution runtime | plugins, internal/router/toolplugin |
| Fixed shell-runtime locator and per-thread runtime path | cmd/shell, internal/shellruntime, internal/router/shell_runtime.go |
| Configured plugin discovery, authenticated snapshots, and frontends | internal/router/toolplugin/runtime.go, internal/router/tool_registry.go, internal/router/tool_wrapper.go |
| Router process signals and top-level exit behavior | cmd/hpatch-router/main.go |
| Normative interface requirements | doc/spec/index.md and the listed requirement file |
| Stable ownership contracts | doc/architecture/index.md and the listed contract file |
| Changed owner | Focused check |
|---|---|
| Root engine | go test . |
| Router request, response, recovery, workspace, plugin, or transport | go test ./internal/router |
Portable core or hpatch:core/v1 adapter |
go generate ./internal/router/toolplugin, then go test ./... and bun test ./internal/router/toolplugin/tests/core.test.ts |
| TypeScript plugin source | go generate ./internal/router/toolplugin, then bun test ./internal/router/toolplugin/tests |
| Router or shell-helper process entry point | go test ./cmd/hpatch-router ./cmd/shell |
| Cross-package or broad contract | go test ./... |
Use go test ./... only when a change crosses package owners. Run go vet ./... for broad Go checks and make install when validating generation and router/helper installation. Broad development commands are in README.md.
