feat: complete codebase remediation with all phases

Phase 1: Security fixes
- Added CORSMiddleware to marketplace-service with specific origins
- Fixed blockchain-node auth to fail closed on JWT errors
- Added security regression tests (test_cors_configuration.py, test_dispute_auth.py)

Phase 2: Repository cleanup
- Removed 51 fix/backup/legacy files
- Deleted marketplace-service-debug directory

Phase 3.1: Python version constraints
- Updated aitbc-crypto and aitbc-sdk with requires-python >=3.13
- Added explicit [tool.poetry].packages declarations

Phase 3.2: Agent service DI architecture
- Created aitbc-agent-core package with protocols and shared service
- Implemented adapters for agent-management and coordinator-api
- Created factory functions for gradual migration
- Added migration comments to existing integration files

Phase 4.1: Auth/utils extraction
- Created auth.py module with JWT validation and security utilities
- Created utils.py module with common helpers

Phase 4.2: Router decomposition
- Decomposed router.py into 10 domain modules (58 endpoints)
- Created route table snapshot for verification
- Preserved router_old.py as reference

Phase 5: App shell classification
- Documented app shell patterns across services

Phase 6: Quality gates
- Verified mypy type checking (75% error reduction)
- Analyzed logging inconsistencies with structlog migration plan
- Removed unused orjson dependency

Documentation:
- Created comprehensive remediation report
- Added architecture documentation for DI pattern
- Added quality analysis documents

+# AITBC Agent Core
+
+Shared agent service logic with protocol-based dependency injection.
+
+## Purpose
+
+This package provides shared business logic for agent integration and orchestration across multiple AITBC applications. It uses protocol-based dependency injection to avoid coupling to app-specific implementations, enabling code reuse while maintaining flexibility.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Protocol-Based Design
+
+The package defines abstract protocols (interfaces) for all dependencies:
+
+- **Domain Protocols**: `IAgentExecution`, `IAgentStepExecution` - Domain model interfaces
+- **Security Protocols**: `ISecurityManager`, `IAuditor` - Security and auditing interfaces
+- **Orchestration Protocol**: `IAgentOrchestrator` - Workflow orchestration interface
+- **ZK Proof Protocol**: `IZKProofService` - Zero-knowledge proof generation/verification
+- **Database Protocol**: `ISessionProvider` - Database session management
+
+### Core Service
+
+`AgentIntegrationService` contains pure business logic that:
+- Deploys agents with configuration
+- Generates verification proofs
+- Verifies execution proofs
+- Queries execution status
+
+All dependencies are injected via constructor, enabling app-specific adapters.
+
+## Usage
+
+### App-Specific Adapters
+
+Each app implements protocols for its domain models and services:
+
+```python
+# Example adapter for agent-management
+from aitbc_agent_core.protocols import ISecurityManager
+from app.services.agent_security import AgentSecurityManager
+
+class AgentSecurityManagerAdapter(ISecurityManager):
+    def __init__(self, manager: AgentSecurityManager):
+        self._manager = manager
+    
+    async def validate_operation(self, operation: str, context: dict) -> bool:
+        return await self._manager.validate_operation(operation, context)
+    
+    async def audit_event(self, event_type: str, details: dict) -> None:
+        await self._manager.audit_event(event_type, details)
+```
+
+### Factory Pattern
+
+Create the shared service with app-specific adapters:
+
+```python
+from aitbc_agent_core import AgentIntegrationService
+from .adapters import (
+    SessionProviderAdapter,
+    SecurityManagerAdapter,
+    AuditorAdapter,
+    OrchestratorAdapter,
+)
+
+def create_agent_integration_service():
+    return AgentIntegrationService(
+        session_provider=SessionProviderAdapter(get_session),
+        security_manager=SecurityManagerAdapter(AgentSecurityManager()),
+        auditor=AuditorAdapter(AgentAuditor()),
+        orchestrator=OrchestratorAdapter(AIAgentOrchestrator()),
+        zk_proof_service=ZKProofServiceAdapter(ZKProofService()),
+    )
+```
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+poetry add aitbc-agent-core
+```
+
+## Development
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+poetry install --with test
+poetry run pytest
+```
+
+### Type Checking
+
+```bash
+poetry run mypy src
+```
