Discuss the future of the TypeScript local agent #321

Description

@neubig

Context

The TypeScript client contains an in-process LocalConversation implementation, a stub LocalWorkspace, local security/confirmation helpers, and a browser demo. The remote Agent Server client is the primary production path.

The local loop supports custom tool executors, but it is not full SDK parity: LocalWorkspace cannot execute filesystem or shell operations, confirmation handling is incomplete, and persistence/security/stuck-detection integration is limited.

Decision needed

Decide whether to:

  • retain and explicitly support the local agent, including end-to-end coverage and a documented scope;
  • move it to a separate experimental package/example; or
  • remove it in a future major release with migration guidance.

No removal is proposed by this issue. This tracks the product/API decision before any future breaking cleanup.
