## Executive Summary
Remove the native agent's internal ACP v2-to-v1 prompt-content round trip. Native prompt routing, slash-command parsing, MCP/skill dispatch, thread insertion and user-message event conversion now consume v2 content directly. Preserve mention handling, attachment ordering, inline skill continuation, raw source blocks and submitted v2 metadata/icons/annotations in live shared state.

## Architectural & Systems Analysis
From an infrastructure engineering, cloud-native scale, and hyperscale governance standpoint:

- **Hyperscale Provenance:** Open-sourcing internal frameworks subjects proprietary systems to rigorous public analysis.
- **De-facto Standard Cohesion:** Publishing enterprise tooling establishes interoperable specifications across distributed execution.
- **Vendor Decoupling:** Platform engineers can inspect underlying telemetry and memory layouts without black-box vendor lock-in.

## Impact on the Open Ecosystem
Bridges enterprise engineering scale with independent, reproducible open-source software stacks.
