ace-pm b29c12d5e5 refactor(native): rename gsd_parser.rs to forge_parser.rs
Final rebrand: rename remaining Rust source file to complete the gsd → forge
transition. All parser references already use forge_parser after earlier commits.

# @sf-build/rpc-client
Standalone RPC client SDK for SF. Spawn the agent process, perform a v2 protocol handshake, send commands, and consume typed events via an async generator — all in a few lines of TypeScript.
Zero internal dependencies. Ships its own inlined types.
## Installation
```bash
npm install @sf-build/rpc-client
```
## Quick Start
```typescript
import { RpcClient } from '@sf-build/rpc-client';
const client = new RpcClient({ cwd: process.cwd() });
await client.start();
const { sessionId } = await client.init({ clientId: 'my-app' });
console.log(`Session: ${sessionId}`);
await client.prompt('Create a hello world script');
for await (const event of client.events()) {
if (event.type === 'execution_complete') break;
console.log(event.type);
}
await client.shutdown();
```
## API
### Constructor
```typescript
const client = new RpcClient(options?: RpcClientOptions);
```
| Option | Type | Description |
|------------|--------------------------|------------------------------------------|
| `cliPath` | `string` | Path to the CLI entry point |
| `cwd` | `string` | Working directory for the agent |
| `env` | `Record<string, string>` | Environment variables |
| `provider` | `string` | AI provider (e.g. `"anthropic"`) |
| `model` | `string` | Model ID (e.g. `"claude-sonnet"`) |
| `args` | `string[]` | Additional CLI arguments |
### Lifecycle
| Method | Description |
|---------------|------------------------------------------------|
| `start()` | Spawn the agent process |
| `init(opts?)` | v2 handshake — returns `sessionId`, capabilities |
| `shutdown()` | Graceful shutdown |
| `stop()` | Force-kill the process |
### Commands
| Method | Description |
|--------------------------------|----------------------------------------|
| `prompt(message, images?)` | Send a prompt |
| `steer(message, images?)` | Interrupt with a steering message |
| `followUp(message, images?)` | Queue a follow-up message |
| `abort()` | Abort current operation |
| `subscribe(events)` | Subscribe to event types (`["*"]` for all) |
### Events
```typescript
// Async generator — recommended
for await (const event of client.events()) {
console.log(event.type);
}
// Callback-based
const unsubscribe = client.onEvent((event) => {
console.log(event.type);
});
```
### Helpers
| Method | Description |
|---------------------------------------|------------------------------------------|
| `waitForIdle(timeout?)` | Wait for `agent_end` event |
| `collectEvents(timeout?)` | Collect events until idle |
| `promptAndWait(message, images?, t?)` | Send prompt and collect events |
### Session & Model
| Method | Description |
|----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
| `getState()` | Get session state |
| `setModel(provider, modelId)` | Set model |
| `cycleModel()` | Cycle to next model |
| `getAvailableModels()` | List available models |
| `setThinkingLevel(level)` | Set thinking level |
| `cycleThinkingLevel()` | Cycle thinking level |
| `compact(instructions?)` | Compact session context |
| `getSessionStats()` | Get session statistics |
| `bash(command)` | Execute a bash command |
| `newSession(parent?)` | Start a new session |
| `sendUIResponse(id, response)` | Respond to extension UI requests |
## Type Exports

```typescript
import type {
RpcCommand,
RpcResponse,
RpcInitResult,
RpcExecutionCompleteEvent,
RpcCostUpdateEvent,
