Agent Envelope
Agent Envelope — the YAML-frontmatter-plus-Markdown row block shared by CLI, MCP text, and docs export.
An agent envelope is the row block an agent reads directly: YAML frontmatter holding
the row's fields, followed by the row's Markdown body. The CLI md renderer, MCP
tool text, and documentation export all render that block with the same serializer.
The surrounding transport is surface-specific. CLI default agent mode can append a
compact DBOM trailer unless --no-agent-mode or DOTS_AGENT=0 disables it. MCP
keeps DBOM context in structuredContent.dbom. The documentation export writes
record-only envelope files. REST is the source JSON transport, returning { data }
and, for x-dots-agent: 1 requests, a dbom sibling.
