+### 2026-06-02: RAG And Agent Requestor Bridge Slice
+
+- Status: migrated, root-verified, and ready to commit.
+- Completed:
+  - `ts/packages/flow/src/retrieval/graph-rag.ts` and
+    `ts/packages/flow/src/retrieval/document-rag.ts` now accept
+    `EffectRequestResponse` clients directly. The engines no longer adapt
+    Effect requestors back to Promise requestors and then wrap those calls in
+    `Effect.tryPromise`.
+  - `ts/packages/flow/src/retrieval/graph-rag-service.ts` and
+    `ts/packages/flow/src/retrieval/document-rag-service.ts` now pass native
+    flow requestors directly into the engines.
+  - `ts/packages/flow/src/agent/react/tools.ts` now accepts
+    `EffectRequestResponse` clients directly for graph RAG, document RAG,
+    triples, and MCP tool calls. Tool input narrowing uses Schema and
+    `effect/Predicate` rather than local request/response type assertions.
+  - `ts/packages/flow/src/agent/react/service.ts` wires default and configured
+    tools with native Effect requestors instead of `toPromiseRequestor`.
+  - Graph RAG, document RAG, and agent service startup now expose `runMain()`
+    through `NodeRuntime.runMain`; their legacy `run()` Promise facades use
+    `ManagedRuntime`.
+  - `ts/scripts/run-graph-rag.ts`, `ts/scripts/run-document-rag.ts`, and
+    `ts/scripts/run-agent.ts` now delegate to `runMain()`.
+- Verification:
+  - `bun run --cwd ts/packages/flow build`
+  - `bun run --cwd ts/packages/flow test`
+  - `cd ts && bun run check`
+  - `cd ts && bun run build`
+  - `cd ts && bun run test`

-    verify compatibility.
