Counterpart to the scatter/gather JSONL redesign (#73): scatter/gather is becoming the kaish-native typed parallel map (JSONL result records, typed ITEM), which deliberately drops any pretense of POSIX text ergonomics. xargs is the planned home for the POSIX flavor: bare lines in, argv out, familiar flags (-n, -P, -I{}, -0 subset per the 80% rule), bare-stdout results.
Scope sketch (not designed yet):
- newline-delimited stdin (and
-0), items appended to the command argv
-P N parallelism sharing the scatter runner's fork machinery- exit codes per the xargs contract (123 on any failure) — which is also the prior the scatter/gather panel is testing
- no typed
.data involvement; this tool is the text boundary
Design pass + model panel before implementation, same as #73.
