meerkat-mobkit 0.8.19

Companion orchestration platform for the Meerkat multi-agent runtime
Documentation
//! Regression: the §10.1 memory-taint FIRST-INGESTION RACE is closed at
//! dispatch time (`meerkat_mobkit::memory::dispatch_taint`).
//!
//! The old posture derived taint from the observe-only ASYNC agent-event
//! stream, so an LLM memory write in the same turn as the session's FIRST
//! untrusted tool ingestion could reach the store before the observer
//! processed the tool event. These tests drive the REAL agent loop (a mob
//! member built through the runtime's pre-build seam, with a scripted LLM
//! client) with NO observer in the process at all: the composition wires
//! only the write gate and the dispatch-time slot, so a quarantine verdict
//! is attributable to the synchronous LLM-boundary join alone.
