permissions.py (authorization Rule/Ruleset model) is consumed across all
MAC subagents + the permissions middleware, with a single external
consumer (user_tool_allowlist service) -> move to
multi_agent_chat/shared/permissions.py and repoint all 42 sites.
deliverable_wait.py (wait_for_deliverable) is used only by the podcast and
video_presentation deliverable tools -> colocate into
subagents/builtins/deliverables/.
No behavior change; import-all + permission/allowlist/deliverable unit
tests stay green.
After deleting app/agents/new_chat/, several shared-kernel comments still cited
new_chat paths/cycles. Update the two lazy-import comments in middleware to state
the real reason (tools.registry <-> shared.middleware cycle), and repoint dangling
``new_chat/tools/hitl.py`` / ``chat_deepagent`` doc references to their shared
locations. Comment-only; suite unaffected.
Relocate the entire new_chat/middleware/ package to the shared kernel as one
cohesive unit (it is live shared infrastructure: the multi-agent stack wraps
nearly every middleware via multi_agent_chat/middleware/main_agent/*, and
anonymous_agent consumes it too). Flip 69 live importers across both the
package-path and submodule-path forms.
Shims left for the frozen single-agent stack: a package __init__ re-export plus
submodule shims for permission, skills_backends, and scoped_model_fallback
(the three imported via submodule path by chat_deepagent/subagents).
Cycle break: importing shared.middleware previously reached back into
new_chat.tools at module load, which dragged in new_chat.__init__ ->
chat_deepagent -> the middleware shim -> half-initialized shared.middleware.
Made action_log's ToolDefinition import TYPE_CHECKING-only and
tool_call_repair's INVALID_TOOL_NAME import function-local. These tools-package
back-edges fully resolve in slice 6.
Asset note: skills_backends._default_builtin_root now walks to
app/agents/new_chat/skills/builtin (the skills/ tree migrates in slice 7).
