Crate Map

The Animus workspace is a Cargo workspace of 18 crates organized by runtime responsibility. Cargo.toml is the source of truth for membership.

Foundation

Crate	Responsibility
protocol	Shared protocol, config, repository-scope, and CLI JSON envelope types
orchestrator-store	Atomic persistence helpers and repo-scoped state directory support
orchestrator-logging	Shared tracing, log path, and runtime log plumbing

Runtime

Crate	Responsibility
orchestrator-daemon-runtime	Daemon queue, scheduling, subject dispatch, trigger handling, and runtime supervision
workflow-runner-v2	Workflow phase execution, checkpoint persistence, and runtime contracts
agent-runner	Runner process that launches and supervises provider sessions
oai-runner	OpenAI-compatible runner binary

CLI and Services

Crate	Responsibility
orchestrator-cli	Main animus binary, clap surface, MCP server, output formatting, and operations
orchestrator-core	Domain services, bootstrap, state mutation APIs, plugin registry, and preflight
orchestrator-config	Workflow YAML loading, pack loading, scaffolding, and phase plan resolution
orchestrator-git-ops	Branch, worktree, merge, and PR helper operations
orchestrator-notifications	Notification/runtime integration support
orchestrator-providers	Provider-facing adapter glue and compatibility helpers

Plugin Runtime

Crate	Responsibility
orchestrator-plugin-host	Plugin discovery, install lockfiles, manifest probes, stdio host, router, and signature verification
orchestrator-session-host	Provider plugin session bridge used by agent-runner
animus-plugin-protocol	In-tree copy of the stdio plugin protocol types
animus-subject-protocol	Normalized subject schema, subject backend trait, and subject errors
animus-plugin-runtime	Runtime helper crate for plugin implementations

The workspace also depends on external launchapp-dev/animus-protocol crates for provider/session contracts, currently through animus-provider-protocol and animus-session-backend in Cargo.toml.

Repo-Local Fixtures

Crate	Responsibility
animus-provider-mock	Mock provider plugin for contract and e2e tests
animus-plugin-smoke	Smoke-test plugin for host and protocol behavior
orchestrator-web-server	Legacy in-repo web server directory retained outside the current Cargo workspace

Web

The active web stack is not part of the current Cargo workspace. animus web discovers and spawns external plugins, normally installed through:

animus plugin install-defaults --include-transports

The curated transport set is currently animus-transport-http, animus-transport-graphql, and animus-web-ui. The exact tags live in orchestrator-core::plugin_registry.
