Conversation
… 3 options Operator asked whether a brush submodule inside agent-bridle sidesteps the crates.io publishing block. It does not: a submodule changes where brush source lives, not the dependency edge crates.io rejects. Documents that, then costs three real options (publish-clean-leaves-only / vendor-brush-as-MIT-modules / wait-for-brush#1184) and recommends C-now / A-if-pressured, with B (vendor/submodule) not recommended absent an external consumer needing published brush-backed agent-bridle pre-#1184. The usability half is already solved by #297 (--disable-ocap); this doc is only about the publishing half. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

What this PR does
Adds
docs/decisions/agent_bridle_publishing.mdanswering the operator's question: does making brush a submodule inside agent-bridle sidestep the crates.io publishing block?Short answer: no. A submodule relocates source files; it does not change the dependency edge crates.io rejects (
path/gitdeps on unpublished crates are both forbidden at publish time). The doc explains that, then costs three real options:Recommendation: C now, A if publishing pressure arrives first; B not recommended absent an external consumer needing published brush-backed agent-bridle before #1184. The usability half is already solved by #297 (--disable-ocap), so publishing is off the critical path.
Test plan
Docs-only — no code, gates trivially green. Decision awaits operator pick (status line in the doc).
