Summary
Compose conversation and job requests through one component with explicit Push policy, user identity, resolved path, and fresh context sections. JSON framing keeps identity, message metadata, current content, and bounded history inside their owned sections while Claude Code, Codex, and Pi retain their native system-prompt mechanisms. Fresh, resumed, and rebuilt sessions now share the same context schema.
Why
The previous path, identity, policy, and rehydration strings were assembled separately, which made ownership and precedence harder to verify. This gives all three adapters one documented semantic boundary without adding a generic instruction handbook or changing ordinary reply delivery.
Test plan
cargo fmt --all -- --checkcargo clippy --locked --all-targets -- -D warningscargo build --lockedcargo test --locked(349 unit, 1 docs, 12 init CLI, and 3 manual crash tests passed)Risks
Prompt text changes for every conversation and job. Unit, gateway, job, and adapter contract tests cover the boundary, but live invocation against installed Claude Code, Codex, and Pi binaries was not performed.
