Seam dossier
Public Wrapper Around Non-Public Runtime
Some packages are intentionally public as installers or access layers while the full runtime remains outside the visible package surface.
public surface: palantir-mcp
This pattern is cleaner than the Maker seam because it is explicit. It shows a public access layer without requiring the full runtime to appear in the same package surface.
Evidence
Why this seam matters
- npm package `palantir-mcp` describes itself as a lightweight wrapper/installer.
- Public source at `palantir/palantir-mcp/src/spawn.ts` shows process launch behavior rather than server implementation.
- Public source at `palantir/palantir-mcp/src/preflightChecks.ts` shows setup and validation logic in the public package.
- This behavior is visible in the current public `develop` branch and the published npm package.
