📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

A new documentation file docs/public/backend-loop-engineering-epic-0.md is added. It defines Epic 0 ("Control Plane Inventory"), specifying its goal, in-scope inventory items, out-of-scope items, an issue map, an acceptance checklist with runtime-invocation distinctions, and a numbered next-epics execution order.

Poem

🐇 A rabbit once hopped through the backend terrain,
Mapping each agent, each plugin by name.
"Inventory first!" said the bunny with glee,
"Before we can loop, we must know what we see!"
No dashboards, no retries — just scope, clean and plain. ✨
