Core TypeScript Types
type Message =
| UserMessage // User input with content blocks
| AssistantMessage // AI response (text, tool use)
| SystemMessage // System instructions
| ProgressMessage // Progress updates
| TombstoneMessage // Deleted/replaced messages
| AttachmentMessage // File attachments
type PermissionMode = 'default' | 'auto' | 'bypass'
type ToolProgressData =
| BashProgress // Shell output streaming
| WebSearchProgress // Search result streaming
| MCPProgress // MCP operation progress
| AgentToolProgress // Sub-agent status
| TaskOutputProgress // Task result display
Try This
Count the message types (6 total). Each serves a purpose. TombstoneMessage replaces deleted messages - why not just remove them? Because the API needs message ordering preserved.
Design Patterns
1. Build-Time Feature Gating
Uses Bun's feature() for dead code elimination at bundle time.
2. Lazy Circular Dependency Breaking
Uses lazy require() wrappers to break circular imports.
3. Ant-Only Code Elimination
Internal features eliminated from external builds via constant folding.
4. React Context State Management
Central AppState with getter/setter pattern and memoized selectors.
Try This
Go to the Feature Flag Simulator. Toggle COORDINATOR_MODE on. At build time, Bun's feature() includes the coordinator code. Toggle it off - that entire code block is removed from the bundle. Dead code elimination in action.

Try This
Go to the Feature Flag Simulator. Enable all 8 flags and count the available tools. Now disable all flags - how many tools remain? The difference shows how much functionality is feature-gated.
