Public references and source navigation - BearCoding

16. Public references and source reading order

All of the following are primary materials opened and cross-checked for this article. The date is the verification time of this session, not the feature’s first release date. The presence of source code does not mean the capability is enabled by default for all users.

Reading order	Material	Focus
1	App Server	Thread/Turn/Item, bidirectional protocol, lifecycle
2	Astra model guide	Capability support, not for guessing the training recipe
3	Async tool calling	async flag, call ID, wait, compatibility limits
4	Steering	accepted, successor, pending
5	PTC	allowed_callers, caller, program resumption
6	Compaction	Output handling for automatic vs. standalone compaction
7	Memories	Local memory and product controls
8	Computer Use	Environment execution and observation loop
9	Claude Agent loop	Fair view of capabilities other systems already have
10	Anthropic long-task harness	Handoff artifacts and acceptance
11	Anthropic Managed Agents	Separation of session/harness/sandbox
12	MCP architecture spec	Boundary between protocol and orchestration
13	Anthropic code execution + MCP	Code orchestration does not exclude MCP
14	Terminal-Bench paper	Methods for task and system evaluation

All source links are pinned to the same commit. Read along “protocol entry → handler → state management → tool execution → tests” instead of only reading the README architecture diagram.
