# `@dispatch/wire` — in-repo reference (read THIS, not node_modules)

> MIRRORS the backend's `@dispatch/wire` package source so headless FE agents can read the wire
> types WITHOUT following the `file:` dep symlink out of this repo (which hangs on a permission
> prompt). Your CODE still imports `@dispatch/wire` normally — this file is for READING only.
>
> **Orchestrator:** SNAPSHOT of `wire@0.1.0`. Regenerate whenever `@dispatch/wire` changes.
