Research direction

Start with the spec v0.9.0 release, the spec submodule, and the gherkin end-to-end harness. Review the linked provider lifecycle requirements and first-party providers, then implement the opt-in provider event ownership and legacy-path deprecation; done means the submodule is at v0.9.0 and the gherkin e2e checks pass.

Description

v0.9.0

Tracks spec v0.9.0 compliance. Functionally complete; only harness bump remains.

  • Bump spec submodule to the v0.9.0 tag; re-run gherkin e2e.

  • Provider lifecycle event ownership (race-condition fix): add opt-in marker so providers emit their own PROVIDER_READY/PROVIDER_ERROR; SDK derives status from the provider event stream and keeps + deprecates the legacy synthetic path; update first-party providers (spec 5.3.5, provider status 2.8, Appendix E)
