 ## 8. Agentic Framework Architecture - Advanced Dive
 
 The agentic framework is designed to allow an AI agent to make edits to the ROM based on high-level natural language prompts. The framework is built around the `z3ed` CLI and the `ImGuiTestEngine`. This section provides a more advanced look into its architecture and future development.

 - `run --prompt "..."`: Executes a prompt by generating and running a sequence of `z3ed` commands.
 - `plan --prompt "..."`: Shows the sequence of `z3ed` commands the AI plans to execute.
-- `diff`: Shows a diff of the changes made to the ROM after running a prompt.
+- `diff [--proposal-id <id>]`: Shows a diff of the changes made to the ROM after running a prompt. Displays the latest pending proposal by default, or a specific proposal if ID is provided.
+- `list`: Lists all proposals with their status, creation time, prompt, and execution statistics.
 - `test --prompt "..."`: Generates changes and then runs an `ImGuiTestEngine` test to verify them.
 - `commit`: Saves the modified ROM and any new assets to the project.
 - `revert`: Reverts the changes made by the agent.
+- `describe [--resource <name>]`: Returns machine-readable schemas for CLI commands, enabling AI/LLM integration.
 - `learn --description "..."`: Records a sequence of user actions (CLI commands and GUI interactions) and associates them with a natural language description, allowing the agent to learn new workflows.
 
 ### 8.2. The Agentic Loop (MCP) - Detailed Workflow

 - **Synchronization Primitives**: Provide `WaitForIdle`, `WaitForCondition`, and `Delay` primitives so LLMs can coordinate with frame updates. Each primitive enforces timeouts and returns explicit success/failure statuses.
 - **State Queries**: Implement reflection endpoints retrieving ImGui widget hierarchy, enabling the agent to confirm UI states before issuing the next action—mirroring how `ImGuiTestEngine` DSL scripts work today.
 
+#### 13.1.1. Transport & Envelope
+
+- **Session bootstrap**: `yaze_test --automation=<socket path>` spins up the harness and prints a connection URI. The CLI or external agent opens a persistent stream (Unix domain socket on macOS/Linux, named pipe + overlapped IO on Windows). TLS is out-of-scope; trust is derived from local IPC.
+- **Message format**: Each frame is a length-prefixed JSON envelope with optional binary attachments. Core fields:
+    ```json
+    {
+        "id": "req-42",
+        "type": "event" | "query" | "expect" | "control",
+        "payload": { /* type-specific body */ },
+        "attachments": [
+            { "slot": 0, "mime": "image/png" }
+        ]
+    }
+    ```
+    Binary blobs (e.g., screenshots) follow immediately after the JSON payload in the same frame to avoid out-of-band coordination.
+- **Streaming semantics**: Responses reuse the `id` field and include `status`, `error`, and optional attachments. Long-running operations (`WaitForCondition`) stream periodic `progress` updates before returning `status: "ok"` or `status: "timeout"`.
+
+#### 13.1.2. Harness Runtime Lifecycle
+
+1. **Attach**: Agent sends a `control` message (`{"command":"attach"}`) to lock in a session. Harness responds with negotiated capabilities (available input devices, screenshot formats, rate limits).
+2. **Activate context**: Agent issues an `event` to focus a specific ImGui context (e.g., "main", "palette_editor"). Harness binds to the corresponding `ImGuiTestEngine` backend fixture.
+3. **Execute actions**: Agent streams `event` objects (`click`, `drag`, `keystroke`, `text_input`). Harness feeds them into the ImGui event queue at the start of the next frame, waits for the frame to settle, then replies.
+4. **Query & assert**: Agent interleaves `query` messages (`get_widget_tree`, `capture_screenshot`, `read_value`) and `expect` messages (`assert_property`, `assert_pixel`). Harness routes these to existing ImGuiTestEngine inspectors, lifting the results into structured JSON.
+5. **Detach**: Agent issues `{"command":"detach"}` (or connection closes). Harness flushes pending frames, releases sandbox locks, and tears down the socket.
+
+#### 13.1.3. Integration with `z3ed agent`
+
+- **Plan annotation**: The CLI plan schema gains a new step kind `imgui_action` with fields `harness_uri`, `actions[]`, and optional `expect[]`. During execution `z3ed agent run` opens the harness stream, feeds each action, and short-circuits on first failure.
+- **Sandbox awareness**: Harness sessions inherit the active sandbox ROM path from `RomSandboxManager`, ensuring UI assertions operate on the same data snapshot as CLI mutations.
+- **Telemetry hooks**: Every harness response is appended to the proposal timeline (see §12) with thumbnails for screenshots. Failures bubble up as structured errors with hints (`"missing_widget": "Palette/Cell[12]"`).
+
 ### 13.2. Safety & Sandboxing
 
 - **Read-Only Default**: Harness sessions start in read-only mode; mutation commands must explicitly request escalation after presenting a plan (triggering a UI prompt for the user to authorize). Without authorization, only `capture` and `assert` operations succeed.

 ## 4. Open Questions
 
-- What serialization format should the proposal registry adopt for diff payloads (binary vs. textual vs. hybrid)?
-- How should the harness authenticate escalation requests for mutation actions?
-- Can we reuse existing regression test infrastructure for nightly ImGui runs or should we spin up a dedicated binary?

+	➤ Decision: pursue a hybrid package (`.z3ed-diff`) that wraps binary tile/object deltas alongside a JSON metadata envelope (identifiers, texture descriptors, preview palette info). Capture format draft under RC/AW backlog.
+- How should the harness authenticate escalation requests for mutation actions?  \
+	➤ Still open—evaluate shared-secret vs. interactive user prompt in the harness spike (IT-01).
+- Can we reuse existing regression test infrastructure for nightly ImGui runs or should we spin up a dedicated binary?  \
+	➤ Investigate during the ImGuiTestHarness spike; compare extending `yaze_test` jobs versus introducing a lightweight automation runner.

+
+**Command Examples**:
+```bash
+# View all resources in YAML
+z3ed agent describe --format yaml
+
+# Get specific resource as JSON
+z3ed agent describe --format json --resource rom
+
+# Generate documentation file
+z3ed agent describe --format yaml --output docs/api/z3ed-resources.yaml
+```
+
+**Testing Results**:
+All commands tested and verified working:
+- ✅ `z3ed rom info --rom=zelda3.sfc` - displays title, size, filename
+- ✅ `z3ed rom validate --rom=zelda3.sfc` - verifies checksum and header
+- ✅ `z3ed agent describe --format yaml` - outputs complete catalog
+- ✅ `z3ed agent describe --format json --resource rom` - filters by resource
+
+### Acceptance Workflow (AW-01, AW-02) - ✅ CORE COMPLETE
+
+The foundational infrastructure for proposal tracking and review is now operational:
+
+**RomSandboxManager Implementation** (AW-01):
+- Singleton service managing isolated ROM copies for agent proposals
+- Sandboxes created in `YAZE_SANDBOX_ROOT` (env var) or system temp directory
+- Automatic directory creation and ROM file cloning
+- Active sandbox tracking for current agent session
+- Cleanup utilities for removing old sandboxes
+
+**ProposalRegistry Implementation** (AW-02):
+- Comprehensive tracking of agent-generated ROM modifications
+- Stores proposal metadata: ID, sandbox ID, prompt, description, timestamps
+- Records execution diffs in `diff.txt` within proposal directory
+- Appends command execution logs to `execution.log` with timestamps
+- Support for screenshot attachments (path tracking)
+- Proposal lifecycle: Pending → Accepted/Rejected
+- Query capabilities: get by ID, list all, filter by status, find latest pending
+
+**Agent Run Integration**:
+- `agent run` now creates sandbox + proposal automatically
+- All command executions logged with timestamps and status
+- Success/failure outcomes captured in proposal logs
+- User feedback includes proposal ID and sandbox path for review
+- Foundation ready for `agent diff`, `agent commit`, `agent revert` enhancements
+
+**Agent Diff Enhancement** (Completed Oct 1, 2025):
+- Reads proposal diffs from ProposalRegistry automatically
+- Displays detailed metadata: proposal ID, status, timestamps, command count
+- Shows diff content from proposal directory
+- Displays execution log (first 50 lines, with truncation for long logs)
+- Provides next-step guidance (commit/revert/GUI review)
+- Supports `--proposal-id` flag to view specific proposals
+- Fallback to legacy diff behavior if no proposals found
+
+**Agent List Command** (New - Oct 1, 2025):
+- Enumerates all proposals in the registry
+- Shows proposal ID, status, creation time, prompt, and stats
+- Indicates pending/accepted/rejected status for each proposal
+- Provides guidance on using `agent diff` to view details
+- Empty state message guides users to create proposals with `agent run`
+
+**Resource Catalog Updates**:
+- Added `agent list` action with returns schema
+- Added `agent diff` action with arguments (`--proposal-id`) and returns schema
+- Updated agent resource description to include listing and diffing capabilities
+- Regenerated `docs/api/z3ed-resources.yaml` with new agent actions
+
+**Architecture Benefits**:
+- Clean separation: RomSandboxManager (file ops) ↔ ProposalRegistry (metadata)
+- Thread-safe with mutex protection for concurrent access
+- Extensible design ready for ImGui review UI (AW-03)
+- Proposal persistence enables post-session review and auditing
+- Proposal-centric workflow enables human-in-the-loop review
+
+**Next Steps for AW Workstream**:
+- AW-03: ImGui drawer with accept/reject controls
+- AW-04: Policy evaluation for gating mutations
+- AW-05: `.z3ed-diff` hybrid format design
