feat(agent): extract model-free World Packet boundary

changelog.d/880-world-packet-boundary.md

@@ -0,0 +1,6 @@
+- Extract a reusable model-free World Packet from the existing voice
+  `get_current_view_state` owner without restoring disabled layers to the
+  model context. Keep the enabled-only payload, disabled-layer count, source
+  provenance, action result and view-state contract; read the layer roster once
+  per packet; voice retains the speech/card envelope at its own boundary.
+  Credits: original GEV voice/layer contributors and #880 implementation.

 get_entity_context, annotate_map and analyst_query. Analyst speech and the card
 share one deterministic count/scope headline; lower bounds use "At least" and
 partial answers name the unanswered layers. `get_current_view_state` lists enabled layers only.
+The model-free `gods-eye-view/agent/world-packet` export exposes
+`getWorldPacket({ viewer, styleManager, dataManager, sceneDirector })` to
+non-voice consumers. It reads the same enabled-only state and feed
+provenance before voice adds speech/card fields, with no new network requests
+or mutations.
 The voice card nested in the mic control (`voiceCard.js`) shows captions, plan
 steps and the result. `resultDisplay.js` is the one adapter from a result to
 the card: builder results show as built, and analyst results show a title
