Tasks — relicense AGPL-3.0 → MIT

Four units. A/B/C are disjoint files (parallelizable); D is the join (runs after A/B/C). The shared node-html-markdown dependency swap + pnpm install is done before A so the parallel agents don't race on apps/server/package.json.

Pre: dependency swap (done by coordinator)

• Add node-html-markdown to apps/server/package.json dependencies; remove parse5 (only html-to-md consumed it).
• pnpm install.

A — html-to-md → node-html-markdown

• Replace apps/server/src/services/web/html-to-md.ts with a thin MIT wrapper exporting htmlToMarkdown(sourceHtml: string): string over NodeHtmlMarkdown.translate.
• Drop the AGPL/Unsloth SPDX header.
• Update html-to-md.test.ts to the new library's output (structure-level .toContain where whitespace differs; output feeds an LLM so exact format is not load-bearing).
• Keep web/index.ts re-export and web_fetch.ts untouched.

B — llama-args-validator → clean-room

• Rewrite apps/server/src/services/inference/llama-args-validator.ts: re-derive the managed-flag denylist from the public llama-server README; keep the BooCode shadowing-flag logic. Same exports (validateExtraArgs, isManagedFlag, stripShadowingFlags, StripOptions).
• Drop the AGPL/Unsloth SPDX header.
• Keep llama-args-validator.test.ts green (it pins the contract).

C — tool-call-parser → minimal clean (relicense-only)

• Delete dead Unsloth-ported exports: parseToolCallsFromText, scanBalancedBraces, OpenAiToolCall, hasToolSignal, and the unused nudge constants (DUPLICATE_CALL_NUDGE, TOOL_ERROR_NUDGE, TOOL_ERROR_PREFIXES, BUDGET_EXHAUSTED_NUDGE).
• Keep extractToolCallBlocks + streaming helpers + stripToolMarkup (re-derive its strip regexes from qwen's wire format). Drop the AGPL/Unsloth SPDX header.
• Remove the now-dead tests from tool-call-parser.test.ts; keep streaming/strip tests.
• Verify stream-phase.ts (extractToolCallBlocks) + tool-phase.ts / error-handler.ts (stripToolMarkup) still compile.

D — license flip (join)

• LICENSE: replace AGPL-3.0 text with MIT, Copyright (c) 2026 indifferentketchup.
• Flip "license" to "MIT" in all 5 package.json (root, server, web, coder, booterm).
• Confirm no SPDX-License-Identifier: AGPL header survives in the 3 files.
• Roadmap License-debt batch: planned → shipped (note the decoupled-from-parser-retirement approach). Add a ## License section to README.md (MIT).
• Optional guard test: assert no AGPL SPDX header in apps/** and all 5 package.json are MIT.

Verify

• pnpm -C apps/server test
• pnpm -C apps/server build
• root npx tsc --noEmit
