v3.8.8 (2026-09-18)

New: inbound invoke — mesh peers can now drive RTerm's agent

Found live: the ReactorPro manifest advertised an invoke skill, but
defaultServeSkills had no handler for it — a peer dispatching invoke got
SKILL_NOT_FOUND while the manifest promised "invoke routes a prompt into a
real RTerm agent turn". RTerm could call other agents but couldn't be
usefully called by them.

invoke is now real. A mesh peer sends a prompt; RTerm runs it as a
genuine agent turn — tools, command policy, and the audit ledger all
apply — and the final assistant text goes back over the mesh.

• New runAgentTask PluginContext hook — one real agent turn, resolve
  with the final answer. Wired on the daemon and desktop; absent in bare
  test harnesses, where invoke returns a clear INVOKE_UNAVAILABLE error
  instead of pretending.
• Prompt extraction accepts arguments.prompt (the gateway's shape),
  prompt, text, message, or a bare string.
• conversation_id round-trips — a peer that passes the previous
  reply's conversation_id continues the same agent session.
• Budget-aware — the agent turn is capped at dispatchTimeout − 10s
  (default 170 s) so the reply reaches the caller before its own mesh
  dispatch timeout fires.

Two live-found details worth recording:

• say events are deltas, not full text. The first implementation
  captured only the last say event and "PONG" came back as "ONG" — the
  final streamed fragment. The publisher-chaining hook now accumulates
  say deltas in order; the concatenation is the answer.
• The event publisher is chained, not replaced — say events for the
  mesh-invoke session are captured while everything still passes through to
  the gateway's broadcast unchanged, and the original publisher is restored
  in finally.

Live-verified end to end: a Synapse-convention dispatch of invoke to
RTerm's inbox now returns a real agent answer (previously SKILL_NOT_FOUND),
and RTerm → grip-cli-001 invoke returns a real LLM reply (previously
verified; unchanged).

Spec: 10 new inbound-invoke cases (prompt extraction, conversation
persistence, budget clamping, unavailable-runtime degradation).
