Split out of #35017 / #35021. The vocabulary around model-visible ambient context is inconsistent and needs one deliberate decision before the event/API names freeze for beta:
Current overlapping terms
SystemContext — the source/reconcile algebra (packages/core/src/system-context)
"instructions" — candidate rename for session context entries (also currently SessionInstructions = AGENTS.md loading, and instruction-context.ts = ambient instructions source)
To decide
One name for the model-facing ambient layer: context vs guidance vs instructions — and which existing modules adopt it.
The event name: the V2: event audit tracker #35021 audit renames session.next.context.updated → session.context.updated (mechanical prefix drop only). If a different final name wins, it lands with this issue's follow-through.
Whether the projected message type stays "system".
Whether SessionContextEntry / its /api/session/:id/context surface rename accordingly.
Resolved by #35583, which chose Instructions for the model-visible ambient layer and renamed the related modules, durable event, entry API, tables, and generated client surfaces. It also documents the distinction between Model Context and Instructions.
