  "intent": [
    "Encode all semantic information in the field name itself so agents parse structured data without external schemas, documentation, or type systems — _ms/_s/_epoch_ms for time, _msats/_sats/_usd_cents for currency, _bytes for size, _secret for auto-redaction",
    "Define a JSONL output protocol where every line carries a kind discriminator (result, error, progress, or log), a payload field named after that kind, and a trace object for execution context (duration, token counts, cost, data source) — same structure whether the transport is CLI stdout, HTTP response body, MCP tool result, or SSE stream",
    "Provide three output formats via --output json|yaml|plain: JSON is the canonical lossless format, YAML preserves structure with quoted strings and --- separators, plain applies suffix-driven human formatting (epoch_ms → RFC 3339, _bytes → human-readable, _secret → ***, _ms ≥ 1000 → seconds)"

    "Children started by afdata_spawn and afdata_timeout no longer carry the caller's EXIT trap"
