+**Release:** v4.6.110+ · `praisonaiagents` · `praisonai-code` · `praisonai-bot` · `praisonai`
+
+The Python monorepo publishes four tiers with strict dependency direction. C7
+delivered a standalone agentic hot path; C7.1 formalised code/wrapper ownership;
+C9 extracted bots, gateway, and channel CLI into `praisonai-bot`.

+
+**PyPI publish order:** `praisonaiagents` → `praisonai-code` + `praisonai-bot` → `praisonai`
+
+**Backward compatibility:** `praisonai.bots`, `praisonai.gateway`, and related CLI
+paths remain as `alias_package` shims to `praisonai_bot.*`.
+
+| Tier | Package | Owns | Must not depend on |
+|------|---------|------|-------------------|
+| 1 | `src/praisonai-agents/` | Agent, tools, memory, hooks, `frameworks/` protocols | `praisonai`, `praisonai-code`, `praisonai-bot` |
+| 2a | `src/praisonai-code/` | `run`/`chat`/`code`, Typer, runtime, LLM, tool resolution | **`praisonai` as a PyPI dependency** (optional lazy imports via `_wrapper_bridge` only) |
+| 2b | `src/praisonai-bot/` | Bots, gateway, channel CLI, OS daemon, gateway scheduler tick | **`praisonai` as a PyPI dependency** (optional lazy `_wrapper_bridge` for jobs/UI) |
+| 3 | `src/praisonai/` | `framework_adapters/`, train, serve, dashboard, async jobs API | — |
+
+**Config kernel:** Phase 0 `praisonai/common/` was skipped; shared config lives in
+`praisonai_code/cli/configuration/` and is reached by the bot tier via lazy
+`_code_bridge` (see `src/praisonai/tests/CONFIG_KERNEL.md`).
+
+### Dependency rule (validated)
+
+| Question | Answer |
+|----------|--------|
+| Does `praisonai-code` declare `praisonai` in `pyproject.toml`? | **No** — only `praisonaiagents` + CLI/runtime deps |
+| Does `praisonai` declare `praisonai-code`? | **Yes** — one-way chain, no PyPI cycle |
+| Can `praisonai-code` import `praisonai.*` at runtime? | **Only lazily** via `praisonai_code._wrapper_bridge` for optional features; **not** on the agentic hot path |
+| Does standalone `pip install praisonai-code` work? | **Yes** — CI smoke validates imports + `praisonai-code run` without the wrapper |
+
+### CLI routing
+
+```mermaid

+  User[User] --> Entry{Entry point}

+  Bridge -->|no| Hidden["Wrapper commands hidden"]
+```
+
+### Import gates (CI enforced)
+
+- **Hot path:** no module-level `from praisonai` in `main.py`, `app.py`, `run.py`, `chat.py`, `code.py`
+- **Regression baseline:** 50 direct wrapper import lines max (`scripts/check_c7_imports.sh`; C8 achieved **0**)
+- **Allowlist:** reviewed files only (`scripts/c7_wrapper_import_allowlist.txt`; empty post-C8)
+- **Hybrid audit:** `scripts/audit_hybrid_modules.py` — repatriated cross-tier import paths
+
+### C7 / C7.1 / C8 status
+
+| Milestone | Status |
+|-----------|--------|
+| Standalone agentic hot path | **Complete** |
+| `_wrapper_bridge` hardening | **Complete** |
+| Import gate + allowlist | **Complete** |
+| Boundary tests + CI smoke | **Complete** |
+| C8 reverse import elimination (225 → 0 direct imports) | **Complete** — see [`C8_BACKLOG.md`](src/praisonai/tests/C8_BACKLOG.md) |
+| C8.4 main.py physical decomposition | **Deferred** (separate epic) |

 ### Existing Architecture (Python SDK)
 
-The Python SDK is the primary runtime and is organised as follows:
+The Python SDK is organised as three publishable tiers (see [§2](#2-python-three-tier-package-model-c71)):
 
-- `src/praisonai/` — Core runtime and agent abstractions
-  - `agents/` — Agent types (chat, code, realtime, audio, vision, etc.)
-  - `llm/` — Model runtime with provider routing, rate limiting, failover
-  - `tools/` — Tool runtime with sandbox, approval, retry
-  - `memory/` — Memory runtime (in-memory, SQLite, MongoDB, Mem0 adapters)
-  - `knowledge/` — Knowledge management (indexing, retrieval, chunking)
-  - `workflow/` — Workflow engine (YAML/SDK-based orchestration)
-  - `telemetry/` — Observability, monitoring, token tracking
-  - `reliability/` — Error classification, circuit breaker, failover
-  - `skill/` — Plugin/skill system
-  - `loop_detection/` — Doom loop detection and prevention
-  - `mcp/` — MCP protocol support
-  - `a2a/`, `a2ui/` — Agent-to-agent and agent-to-UI protocols
+- `src/praisonai-agents/` — Core SDK (`Agent`, tools, memory, hooks, protocols)
+- `src/praisonai-code/` — Terminal CLI (`run`, `chat`, `code`, Typer, runtime, LLM)
+- `src/praisonai/` — Wrapper (gateway, bots, `framework_adapters/`, integrations)
+
+Core execution modules live in `praisonaiagents`:
+
+- `agent/` — Agent class, handoff, autonomy
+- `llm/` — Model runtime with provider routing, rate limiting, failover
+- `tools/` — Tool runtime with sandbox, approval, retry
+- `memory/` — Memory runtime (in-memory, SQLite, MongoDB, Mem0 adapters)
+- `knowledge/` — Knowledge management (indexing, retrieval, chunking)
+- `workflows/` — Workflow engine (YAML/SDK-based orchestration)
+- `hooks/`, `bus/` — Hook system and event bus
+- `mcp/` — MCP protocol support
+- `a2a/`, `a2ui/` — Agent-to-agent and agent-to-UI protocols (wrapper/SDK)
+
+Wrapper-only surfaces remain in `src/praisonai/`:
+
+  - `gateway/`, `bots/` — Multi-bot orchestration (BotOS)
+  - `framework_adapters/` — CrewAI, AutoGen, PraisonAI adapters
+  - `cli/commands/` — Wrapper commands (`bot`, `gateway`, `pairing`, …)
 
 ### Multi-SDK Layout
 
-- **Python SDK** — Primary runtime (`src/praisonai/`)
+- **Python Core SDK** — `src/praisonai-agents/` (`praisonaiagents`)
+- **Python Terminal CLI** — `src/praisonai-code/` (`praisonai-code`)
+- **Python Wrapper** — `src/praisonai/` (`praisonai`)
 - **TypeScript SDK** — JS/TS runtime (`ts-sdk/`)
 - **Rust SDK** — High-performance Rust runtime (`rust-sdk/`)
-- **CLI** — Command-line interface (`cli/`)
 - **UI** — Web UI (`ui/`)

+### 2.3 `praisonai-code` — Agentic Terminal CLI Split (C5/C6)
+
+The **agentic terminal CLI** (`run`, `chat`, `code`, warm runtime, CLI backends, Typer app) lives in **`praisonai-code`** (`praisonai_code`). **Bots, gateway, and channel CLI** live in **`praisonai-bot`** (`praisonai_bot`) after C9. The **`praisonai`** wrapper keeps integrations, framework adapters, train, serve, and dashboard. **`pip install praisonai`** still installs everything; old import paths are preserved via shims.
+
+| Product | Location | Stays out of |
+|---------|----------|--------------|
+| Agentic terminal CLI | `src/praisonai-code/praisonai_code/` | Must **not** depend on `praisonai` (PyPI cycle) |
+| Bot/channel runtime | `src/praisonai-bot/praisonai_bot/` | Must **not** PyPI-depend on `praisonai` or `praisonai-code` |
+| Core SDK | `src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/` | Heavy CLI / integrations |
+| Wrapper shims | `src/praisonai/praisonai/bots`, `gateway`, … | `alias_package` → `praisonai_bot` |
+
+**Moved into `praisonai_code` (~304 modules):**
+
+| Step | Content |
+|------|---------|
+| C1 | `runtime/`, `cli_backends/` |
+| C2 | `cli/interactive/`, `execution/`, `ui/`, `output/`, `state/` |
+| C3 | `cli/commands/*` (80 Typer command modules) |
+| C4 | `cli/features/*` (158 feature handlers; bot features excepted) |
+| C5 | `cli/main.py`, `app.py`, `configuration/`, `session/`, `utils/`, schema modules |
+
+**Intentionally retained in the wrapper (not shims):**
+
+- **Commands:** `gateway`, `bot`, `pairing`, `identity`, `onboard`, `kanban`, `dashboard`, `claw`
+- **Features:** `gateway`, `bots_cli`, `onboard`, `approval`, `serve`
+- **Domains:** `praisonai.gateway.*`, `praisonai.bots.*`, integrations, endpoints
+
+**Backward-compat shim patterns** (old `praisonai.*` paths must keep working):
+
+| Pattern | Used for | Module identity |
+|---------|----------|-----------------|
+| `sys.modules[__name__] = _impl` | `cli/main`, `cli/app`, each moved `cli/commands/*`, schema modules | Same object as `praisonai_code.*` |
+| `alias_package()` + `_AliasFinder` | `cli/output`, `interactive`, `execution`, `ui`, `state`, `session`, `configuration`, `utils` | Same submodule objects |
+| Package `__getattr__` + submodule alias | `runtime/`, `cli_backends/` | Submodules identical; package object differs |
+| `features/__init__.py` `__path__` extension | Extracted features; five bot features stay local | Handler imports via `__getattr__` |
+
+**Typer lazy-load:** `praisonai_code.cli.app._WRAPPER_COMMANDS` lists bot/channel commands that resolve via **`praisonai.cli.commands.*`** (wrapper), not `praisonai_code.cli.commands.*`.
+
+**Monorepo bootstrap:** `praisonai._bootstrap.ensure_praisonai_code()` adds sibling `src/praisonai-code` to `sys.path` so `PYTHONPATH=src/praisonai-agents:src/praisonai` works without an explicit code entry.
+
+**Install order (CI and local dev):** `praisonai-agents` → `praisonai-code` → `praisonai` (see `.github/actions/install-monorepo-packages`).
+
+**Invocation paths that must remain valid:**
+
+```bash
+praisonai …                          # console script → praisonai.__main__
+python -m praisonai …
+python -m praisonai.cli.main …
+python -m praisonai.runtime …
+from praisonai.cli.main import PraisonAI
+from praisonai.cli.commands.run import …
+unittest.mock.patch("praisonai.cli.commands.run.X")   # same module object
+```
+
+**Regression gate:** `src/praisonai/tests/unit/test_c5_backward_compat.py` (also run in optimised CI smoke). Standalone `pip install praisonai-code` requires declared deps (e.g. `toml` for config resolver).
+
+**Key files:**
+
+| What | Where |
+|------|-------|
+| Typer app + lazy commands | `praisonai_code/cli/app.py` |
+| Shim helper | `praisonai/cli/_shim.py` |
+| Bootstrap | `praisonai/_bootstrap.py` |
+| CLI main shim | `praisonai/cli/main.py` |
+| Runtime / backends shims | `praisonai/runtime/`, `praisonai/cli_backends/` |
+
+**Do not** recreate `src/praisonai/praisonai_code/` — it shadows the real package.
+
+**PyPI publish order:** `praisonaiagents` → `praisonai-code` → `praisonai` (see `src/praisonai/scripts/bump_and_release.py` and `.github/workflows/pypi-release.yml`). Gateway/bots changes release via wrapper only; agentic CLI changes also bump `praisonai-code`.
+
+#### C6 integration gate (#2519)
+
+C6 is the **sign-off step** after C0–C5 file moves: no further moves, only regression verification and release wiring.
+
+| Check | Command / artefact |
+|-------|-------------------|
+| Smoke `--help` | `praisonai`, `praisonai run/chat/code/daemon/attach/gateway/bot/doctor --help` |
+| Compat regression | `pytest src/praisonai/tests/unit/test_c5_backward_compat.py` |
+| CLI shard | `pytest src/praisonai/tests/unit/cli/` |
+| Warm runtime | `pytest src/praisonai/tests/unit/test_warm_runtime.py` |
+| Doctor shard | `pytest src/praisonai/tests/unit/doctor/` |
+| Import perf | `pytest src/praisonai/tests/unit/test_performance_benchmarks.py` (< 500ms) |
+| Real LLM smoke | `RUN_REAL_KEY_TESTS=1 PRAISONAI_ALLOW_NETWORK=1 PRAISONAI_TEST_PROVIDERS=all pytest src/praisonai/tests/integration/test_real_key_smoke.py` |
+| Verification log | `src/praisonai/tests/C6_VERIFICATION.md` |
+
+**Command split (wrapper vs code):**
+
+| Install target | Agentic CLI (`run`, `chat`, `code`, …) | Bot/gateway (`bot`, `gateway`, `pairing`, …) |
+|----------------|----------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------|
+| `pip install praisonai` | Yes (via `praisonai-code` dep + shims) | Yes |
+| `pip install praisonai-code` only | Yes — agentic hot path (`run`, `chat`, `code`, warm runtime) without wrapper import | No — wrapper-only commands hidden when `praisonai` absent |
+
+**C7 (hot path complete):** Core agentic CLI imports no longer require the `praisonai`
+wrapper at module level. Remaining lazy wrapper imports (~211, regression-gated) are optional commands
+and features (train, capabilities, bots, framework adapters) — use
+`praisonai_code._wrapper_bridge` or `pip install praisonai`. See
+`src/praisonai/tests/C7_VERIFICATION.md`. CI gate: `scripts/check_c7_imports.sh`.
+
+### 2.4 Package ownership (C7.1)
+
+| Tier | Package | Owns |
+|------|---------|------|
+| 1 | `praisonaiagents` | Agent, tools, memory, hooks, `frameworks/` protocols |
+| 2 | `praisonai-code` | `run`/`chat`/`code`, Typer, runtime, llm, tool resolution |
+| 3 | `praisonai` | Gateway, bots, `framework_adapters/`, capabilities, train, serve orchestration |
+
+**Cross-tier rule:** `praisonai-code` must not declare a PyPI dependency on `praisonai`. Use
+[`praisonai_code._wrapper_bridge`](../praisonai-code/praisonai_code/_wrapper_bridge.py) for lazy wrapper access.
+
+**framework_adapters:** protocols in SDK; registry + CrewAI/AutoGen/PraisonAI bodies stay in
+[`praisonai/framework_adapters/`](../praisonai/praisonai/framework_adapters/). Do not move to `praisonai-code`.
+
+**Typer `_WRAPPER_COMMANDS`:** only for commands whose implementation lives in the wrapper
+(`bot`, `gateway`, `pairing`, `identity`, `onboard`, `kanban`, `dashboard`, `claw`). Commands
+implemented in `praisonai_code` (`train`, `serve`) stay local; bridge internal wrapper imports.

 Unified Execution Mixin - implements Gap 1 from Issue #1392.

+Panel (Mixture-of-Agents) LLM provider.
+
+A ``PanelLLM`` is a *model selection*, not an orchestration primitive. One or
+more advisory **reference** models run first (no tools, trimmed conversation
+view); their outputs are folded into private context that is appended to the
+**tail of the latest user turn** — below any stable cached prefix, so Anthropic
+prompt caching on the system message is preserved. A single **aggregator** model
+is the real acting model: it inherits the full normal agent loop (tool calls,
+hooks, session) from :class:`~praisonaiagents.llm.llm.LLM`.
+
+Selectable exactly like any other model::
+
+    # Inline dict descriptor (no registration needed):
+    Agent(llm={"provider": "panel", "references": [...], "aggregator": "..."})
+
+    # Named preset (register it first):
+    register_panel_preset("deep", {"references": [...], "aggregator": "..."})
+    Agent(llm="panel:deep")
+
+No presets are bundled by the core SDK; ``panel:<name>`` strings resolve against
+presets registered via :func:`register_panel_preset` (e.g. by the wrapper, CLI,
+or YAML layer). YAML / CLI / bot ``/model`` paths flow the ``panel:<name>``
+string through unchanged because resolution happens in core model resolution.
