Event-driven system prompt composition. Coordinates trinkets (modular content providers) through CNS events to build the final system prompt delivered to the LLM.

Files

• types.py — TypedDicts for structures produced by composer and core: ComposedPrompt, TrinketState, AllTrinketStates
• composer.py — SystemPromptComposer: collects sections from trinkets, routes by SECTION_LAYOUT (system/post_history/notification/conversation_prefix), returns ComposedPrompt
• core.py — WorkingMemory: event-driven coordinator. Manages trinket registration, routes UpdateTrinketEvent to trinkets, collects TrinketContentEvent, composes and publishes SystemPromptComposedEvent

Patterns to Follow

Trinket Base Classes

All trinkets extend EventAwareTrinket (ABC). Must implement generate_content(context: Dict[str, Any]) -> str. Trinkets with turn-scoped state extend StatefulTrinket and implement _expire_items() and _clear_all_state().

Event Flow

ComposeSystemPromptEvent → WorkingMemory broadcasts UpdateTrinketEvent to all trinkets → each trinket calls generate_content() → publishes TrinketContentEvent → composer assembles ComposedPrompt → SystemPromptComposedEvent

Type Contracts

• Composer returns ComposedPrompt (TypedDict from types.py)
• get_trinket_state() returns TrinketState | None
• get_all_trinket_states() returns AllTrinketStates
• Trinkets are stored as Dict[str, EventAwareTrinket], not object
• Event handler parameters are typed via TYPE_CHECKING imports

Infrastructure Failures

Trinket failures are isolated in core.py:_handle_update_trinket() — individual trinket exceptions don't crash the prompt composition. But trinkets themselves must NOT catch infrastructure failures (no try/except around DB/Valkey calls) — let them propagate to the isolation layer.
