"description": "Agent Effect System as a cross-cutting topic - the effect execution model\nthat drives agent orchestration. The lifecycle is: task requested (process\ncalls ctx.task/ctx.breakpoint/ctx.sleepUntil), effect pending (runtime\nthrows an effect-pending exception), effect executed (external\norchestration resolves the effect via babysitter task:post), result\nposted (next replay iteration advances deterministically). Effect kinds\ninclude agent (sub-agent dispatch), shell (command execution), skill\n(skill invocation), breakpoint (human approval gate), and sleep (time\ngate). The effect system enables deterministic replay and recovery.\n"
