Internal services (SF↔memory, ACE↔memory, SF↔ACE) talk via typed direct clients generated from the Go/TS APIs — HTTP/gRPC for memory, existing JSON-RPC stdio for SF↔ACE. MCP is reserved for external LLM-driven coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor) that don't share our build system; it is a scaffold for the period when external coders help build the platform and shrinks as the system becomes self-hosting. Adds an explicit "MCP scope" table so the rule is stated once. Updates the three-layer architecture diagram, Phase 2, and Phase 6 to remove the inaccurate "all consumers over MCP" framing.
