# core/go — CoreGO Framework

> dappco.re/go/core — Dependency injection, service lifecycle, permission,
> and message-passing framework for Go. Foundation layer for the Lethean ecosystem.

## Entry Points

- CLAUDE.md — Agent instructions, build commands, subsystem table
- docs/RFC.md — API contract specification (21 sections, the authoritative spec)

## Package Layout

All source files at module root. No pkg/ nesting. Tests are *_test.go alongside source.

## Key Types

- Core — Central application container (core.New() returns *Core)
- Option — Single key-value pair {Key: string, Value: any}
- Options — Collection of Option with typed accessors
- Result — Universal return type {Value: any, OK: bool}
- Service — Managed component with lifecycle (Startable/Stoppable return Result)
- Action — Named callable with panic recovery and entitlement enforcement
- Task — Composed sequence of Actions (Steps, Async, Input piping)
- Registry[T] — Thread-safe named collection (universal brick)
- Process — Managed execution (sugar over Actions)
- API — Remote streams (protocol handlers, Drive integration)
- Entitlement — Permission check result (Allowed, Limit, Used, Remaining)
- Message — IPC broadcast type for ACTION
- Query — IPC request/response type for QUERY

## Service Pattern

    core.New(
        core.WithService(mypackage.Register),
    )

    func Register(c *core.Core) core.Result {
        svc := &MyService{ServiceRuntime: core.NewServiceRuntime(c, opts)}
        return core.Result{Value: svc, OK: true}
    }

## Conventions

Follows RFC-025 Agent Experience (AX) principles.
Tests: TestFile_Function_{Good,Bad,Ugly} — 100% AX-7 naming.
