Surface and context

What the agent can reach for and what is put in its hands: how many tools, telling them apart, designing the return, the error that teaches, writing your own, inside the compiler, the tray filling up.

What this module changes: Changes the ring's outer surface and its compiler. The wall of outward-facing tools narrows, and what enters the compiler funnel gets checked.
