Dispatch And Satellite
Use this skill for dispatch-loop and satellite middleware changes.

Terms
- Dispatch: the model/tool loop that turns a task and spec into events and final output.
- Satellite: dispatch-scoped observation and policy middleware.
- SatelliteRing: ordered static middleware configuration.
- SatelliteScope: per-dispatch state and resources opened from the ring.
- RuntimeBus: operator/client transport concept. Do not use it as a synonym for Satellite.
Rules
- Keep dispatch headless. UI and operator transport belong outside core.
- Satellites may observe, transform, block, replace, recover, or abort through typed decisions.
- Satellites must not smuggle direct mailbox writes or hidden side channels into the dispatch loop.
- Preserve ordered ring semantics: non-terminal decisions feed later satellites.
- Keep satellite state scoped to one dispatch. Do not put per-dispatch mutable state on the static ring.
- Preserve event shapes used by server/client serialization unless deliberately migrating them.
- Convert
SatelliteAbortat the dispatch boundary according to the existing dispatch error model.
Verification
- Run focused dispatch/satellite tests after behavioral changes:
bun test packages/theseus-core/src/dispatchbun test packages/theseus-core/src/satellite
- Run
bun run typecheckwhen public event, decision, or store types change.
